DAY 1: AUTHENTIC TUSCANY IN ONE DAY

Welcome to Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. In the morning we will set off by bus to discover the authentic Tuscany in the direction of Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano. Close your eyes and find yourself immersed in the magical light of Piazza del Campo, open them again to breathe in the atmosphere of San Gimignano, and find yourself admiring the charm of the challenge between the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the force of gravity. We will have lunch with typical Tuscan dishes. The tour will end with a visit to an exclusive winery in the Chianti region. Here you will participate in a wine tasting and have the opportunity to taste and purchase wine and typical products. At the end, you will be driven back to Florence. 

Free dinner and overnight stay on request.

DAY 2: TUSCANY BETWEEN ART AND WINE

What could be better than waking up in front of the Baptistery of Florence? For your second day, the meeting point will be in the centre of Florence to visit the places where Florentines spend their free time: Piazza del Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio and others. It will be a complete walking tour, during which you will experience the city just like a true Florentine. Lunch is free but we absolutely recommend these 3 street foods: the lampredotto sandwich, the schiacciata and the coccoli. If you have never tried Florence's renowned street food, you absolutely must. In the afternoon, you will head to the Chianti area for a tour that will allow you to explore the authenticity of the flavours of the Tuscan countryside and discover natural winemaking, to capture the taste notes that a good glass can convey. You know the typical avenue of cypress trees, printed on every postcard in any souvenir shop? Well yes, you will be able to walk along one of these avenues and take memorable photos of authentic Tuscany. 

Time remains to end the day with a walk in Monteriggioni to breathe in the village air with its typical shops.

Free dinner and overnight stay on request.

Unfortunately the weekend has come to an end, but come and discover our 3, 4 or 5-day Tuscany itineraries.
