Tuscany Towns and Chianti Wine-Tasting Tour from Florence: Siena and Pisa

Combine charming Tuscan towns with Chianti wine tasting on this full-day trip from Florence! Led by an expert guide, this comprehensive Tuscany tour includes the must-see towns of this stunning region. Explore Siena's UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town and have an authentic Tuscan lunch on a prestigious Chianti wine estate. After sampling Chianti Classico wine, head to Pisa to spend time at leisure. For those keen to visit Pisa's famous attraction, upgrade your tour to include a skip-the-line ticket to the Leaning Tower of Pisa!

Leaving Florence early, head south by luxury coach into the Tuscan countryside. Your first stop is beautiful Siena, roughly an hour from Florence. With your guide, enjoy a 1.5-hour walking tour around this gorgeous little city, passing through its romantic streets and charming piazzas. See Piazza del Campo and visit Siena's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Next, it’s on to the Siena Duomo, widely considered Italy's most impressive Gothic cathedral. Full of treasures, the Duomo is as impressive inside as it is outside, and your guide will point out its unique marble panels and pavement mosaics as you walk around.

From Siena, head west into Tuscany's Chianti Classico area, the country's most significant wine-producing region to visit the Machiavelli Estate. Built nearly 500 years ago, the estate was once home to the great Renaissance philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli; hear about his life in Chianti from your guide. Tour the house museum and wine cellar before lunch on the estate.

Your meal starts with a tasting of three locally-produced, "Gallo Nero" Chianti Classico wines followed by an assortment of Tuscan specialties. Enjoy mixed crostini before an array of typical Tuscan delicacies --perhaps penne with wild boar sauce or risotto cooked in spumante wine.

Last stop is Pisa, where you’ll take the town's mini-train to Piazza dei Miracoli and have time to sightsee independently before returning to Florence. If you want to go up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, make the most of your day in Tuscany by upgrading your tour to include a skip-the-line entrance ticket.
