Review of a 12-hour Tuscany day trip from Florence to Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa, with winery lunch, wine pairing, and practical tips.

“A great way to see the highlights of Tuscany if you are staying in Florence! We chose to do the guided Siena tour and lunch at the vineyard and it was well worth it.

Review of Rome’s Tuscany and Montepulciano day trip, with coach travel, Tuscan lunch, wine tasting, Pienza, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Loved this tour. This was our second tour of Tuscany this trip. This tour was more focused on the small towns and countryside of Tuscany than wine but the winery we visited was amazing considering it was a 16th century friary still operated through generations of the same family. Eduardo was the best tour guide. Thanks for an amazing day!”
