The itinerary
Explore Tuscany in one day
See the highlights of Siena, walk through the narrow streets of San Gimignano, admire the beautiful Tuscan landscape and conclude your day with a picture of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. Meet your professional English-speaking driver and start your adventure into Tuscan beauties at your own pace and with maximum comfort you can only get with a private door-to-door service.
SIENA
The first stop of your private day trip from Florence is Siena. A beautiful city made of brown Siena-colored bricks, that’s how they named the color!
A jumble of narrow streets and delightful squares, medieval towers that make such a spectacular skyline, its spectacular cathedral, the tall and trim Torre del Mangia.
Get lost in this enticing atmosphere almost like stepping back in time.
Piazza del Campo
Despite the city’s architectural masterpieces, it is the unusual shell-shaped Piazza del Campo that receives the most consideration having been seen in numerous films and photographs.
Walk around this brick-covered square that twice a year hosts the famous ‘Palio’ horserace. Thee entire population is involved and is considered one of the most important events in the life of the Senese people.
SAN GIMIGNANO
Continue your private day in San Gimignano, a small medieval town in Tuscany famous for its splendid skyline made up of 13 towers!
This hilltop 11th-century town is located along the ancient ‘Via Francigena’ road on which traders and pilgrims traveled to Rome.
Admire the remaining 13 towers (once about 72!), visit the Duomo and its magnificent frescoes, ‘Palazzo del Popolo’ and ‘Palazzo Nuovo del Podestà’ today the town hall.
Culture and Vernaccia wine
Explore the church dedicated to Saint Augustine, the Museum of Holy Relics and the infamous Museum of Torture with its macabre displays of early torture instruments.
Just wander down the main street in San Gimignano and go in and out of the numerous specialty artisan shops.
The ceramics are beautiful here and there are also places for buying leather goods and linens. Then relax while tasting the famous vernaccia wine typical from here!
TUSCAN COUNTRYSIDE
Your trip continues with a ride through amazing Tuscan landscapes with views on gentle slopes, vineyards and olive trees until you reach Pisa.
PISA
The remote origins of Pisa and its name are lost in myth and legend. What is for certain, this city had Eneolithic settlements and between the 6th and 3rd centuries B.C. the presence of the Etruscans. Pisa was later Romanized and during the time of Octavianus Augustus in the 1st century B.C. it became a colony of Rome.
Meanwhile the population was growing along with the development of shipbuilding and trade, thanks also to its harbor. The city expanded rapidly and soon Pisa was surrounded by a circle of defensive walls.
Leaning Tower in Piazza dei Miracoli
The building of the Pisa cathedral began in 1062. The cathedral and baptistery, the tower of Pisa and Campo Santo or cemetery form one of the most beautiful and famous building groups in the world. ‘Piazza dei Miracoli’ or ‘Campo dei Miracoli’ makes a perfect showplace for these exquisite examples of Romanesque architecture.
Today, the Leaning Tower of Pisa has become a symbol for the Italian Republic and after intense restoration has finally opened to visitors.
At the end of your tour of Tuscany in one day, relax and enjoy a comfortable drive to your accommodation in Florence.

What our guests actually say
Every review below is public on the platform it came from.
Our private tour to Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti, and Pisa was extremely well planned and enjoyable from start to finish. The itinerary was perfectly paced, giving us enough time at each destination to explore, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere without ever feeling rushed. A special highlight was the lovely wine tasting recommendation — the vineyard setting was beautiful, the wines were excellent, and it added such an authentic Tuscan experience to…
Our family had an unforgettable Tuscan journey in late March — truly one of the best tours we've ever taken!! From the very beginning, everything was seamless and enjoyable. Our guide, Leo, was an absolute gem — friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for history and wine was evident, and he shared insights in such a clear, engaging way that even we, coming from the other side of the world, felt deeply connected to the stories of Tuscany.…
We had the most wonderful day on this tour. Donaleto is an excellent guide with deep knowledge of the area. He gave us detailed insights of all the places we visited and planned the whole day exceptionally well. I would highly recommend this private tour where everything is taken care of and you just need to show up.
Our driver, Donatello, was friendly, very interesting and informative. We enjoyed the ride through Tuscany, Pisa was phenomenal, the Merenda Break at la Marronaia was amazing, and the private tour in Sienna with Christina was excellent. I would highly recommend this trip and your company! Thank you for a fantastic experience.
We had such a wonderful experience on our tour. We were able to see so much in just one day - we never would have covered this much ground on our own, and it was great to have the tour van to ourselves. Our guide, Alex, was knowledgable and thoughtful. He gave us ample time to explore each site, recommended a great winery to add to our Chianti visit and called ahead to reserve time for a tasting, and even booked a reservation for us for dinner that night…
We had a great day out as a family of 5 with a knowledgable safe friendly driver. starting with climbing pisa in the morning, lunch and wine tasting was the highlight of our day organised by our guide. then to siena and san gimignano both beautiful places to visit. a very relaxed easy way to see so much in 1 day, would highly recommend.
