Overview
Depart from Florence and travel out of the city in your air-conditioned coach toward the amazing Siena. Guided tour will include the visit to the most famous monuments and squares: the Cathedral and the Baptistery, Ospedale di Santa Maria della Scala, Palazzo Salimbeni, Palazzo Tolomei, Piazza del Campo and the Sanctuary of Santa Caterina, the patron of the city. Continue on through the rolling hills of the Chianti wine region to Monteriggioni, a fortified hilltop village founded in 1214 by the Republic of Siena to protect its northern territory from the incursions of the rival Florence. Here we'll enjoy an authentic three courses tuscan lunch paired with the most genuine Chianti wine. Next, hop back in your coach and continue onward to San Gimignano, famous for its 13th century "fine" towers, the saffron locally produced since the medieval times, and the local white wine "Vernaccia di San Gimignano". Guided excursion includes a stop to the panoramic view, the visit to the "1300 Ceramic Museum" and the stop to the Dondoli world champion gelato maker. On the way back to Florence we will stop at Piazzale Michelangelo which is considered one of the most romantic spots of the city.

Not a tour but an unforgettable experience of Tuscany
I was travelling with my daughter & this was a highlight of our trip. The horse ride through Tuscany on a crisp, sunny morning in late Autumn was stunning, followed by a trip to the incredible San Gimignano & a delicious lunch on an even more beautiful vineyard.

Vespa Tour
The vespa tour was an absolute blast. Unfortunately the equipment supplied to Fun in Tuscany by a third party was not the most reliable, however, the scenery and ride was worth any trouble that may have been caused by said equipment.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!
Wow! What a wonderful experience! Our tour guide Christian was so much fun and welcoming, and the wine and lunch was amazing! Riding through the Tuscan countryside was beautiful, and our time at San Gimignano was so special. This was the highlight of my trip, and I could not recommend it more!

Amazing experience!
This blew my expectations out of the water. The guide made the travel between sites fun and educational. The wine tours were amazing and the stop in San Gimignano was awesome. We went for our honeymoon and the guide even threw in a surprise for my wife and I at the end of the tour. Would 100% recommend to others!
