Description
Departure for Pisa, our first destination of the day. Upon disembarking the coach, we arrive at the Field of Miracles, a verdant grassy field dominated by the dazzling white buildings of the Cathedral (Duomo), the Leaning Tower, and the Baptistery—exquisite examples of Pisan Romanesque architecture. The Leaning Tower stands nearly 56 meters (approximately 183 feet) tall. Its 4-degree tilt makes it one of the most famous and iconic buildings in the world. Located in one of the most renowned spots on Earth, take your time to admire it, capture some creative photographs, or stroll through the local streets.
From Pisa, we'll travel through hilltop villages, offering some of the most beautiful and enchanting views of the countryside, before arriving at a winery where a local lunch with wine pairings will be served (depending on the option selected when booking).
After lunch, our journey continues to discover a Tuscan medieval gem, the stunning town of San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its remarkably well-preserved ancient urban layout. Often nicknamed the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages" because its famous tall, narrow towers MAKE a skyline that somewhat resembles a modern city. Here, you'll have free time to explore the town center, the charming artisan shops along the cobbled streets, and the small piazzas.
Our final stop is Siena, which we'll reach by driving through the enchanting Chianti countryside. Siena is an incredible hilltop city, rich in art and traditions, famous monuments, and picturesque views, with a fascinating pedestrianized historic center and one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. Here you will have free time to wander through Siena's most famous buildings at your own pace: along the narrow medieval streets and squares, past the oldest bank in the world and the Piazza del Campo—home of the famous 600-year-old Palio horse race—before arriving at the spectacular Cathedral. You will also have time to stroll through the historic center at your leisure, concluding your memorable Tuscan experience with the memory of a perfect day.

Worth doing
Came away with a good impression. We went back to Pisa e Chianti on our own the next day. Good guide, polite and helpful. One detail: the seats are not the most comfortable on a long run.

Una experiencia hermosa
Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. Pisa y Chianti quedó en todas nuestras fotos. Todo el trámite fue digital, no tuvimos que imprimir nada. Sacamos muchísimas fotos, el recorrido pasa por los lugares justos. Ojalá todos los tours fueran así.

Mejor de lo que esperaba
Salimos encantados. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Aprovechamos tarjeta de asistencia médica local más de lo que pensábamos. Si están por Florencia, no se lo pierdan.

Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. El acompañante turístico autorizado vale por sí solo.

Very well organised
Excellent from start to finish. Compared with doing it yourself, it works out well. If we come back to Florencia, we will do it again.

Nothing to fault, everything went as described. The guide flagged where it was worth stopping for photos. Ideal for a special night out. The licensed Tour Escort was better than I expected. Do not hesitate, book it.
