Battistero di San Giovanni - Admire Italy’s largest baptistery, standing 54 meters high with a 34-meter diameter, constructed between 1152 and 1363.
Chianti Road - Enjoy the breathtaking Chianti scenery en route to a wine estate. You’ll be driven to a rustic winery in Chianti, near San Gimignano, for a delightful wine tasting paired with local specialties like bruschettas, pecorino cheese, and various cold cuts.
San Gimignano - After lunch, explore San Gimignano, known as the Medieval Manhattan. Wander through its maze of cobbled streets, small squares, and local craft stores.
Piazza del Duomo - Piazza del Duomo in San Gimignano was the center of religious and political life during the Middle Ages. Named after the Collegiate Church from the 11th century, the square’s current appearance dates back to the early 13th century, a golden era for San Gimignano’s economy and politics. The main public buildings and the cathedral’s new facade opposite the old Palazzo del Podestà were constructed during this period. Today, the square has a slight slope and brick pavement.
Siena - Continue your exciting day with a panoramic view of the Chianti countryside before arriving in Siena. Here, a professional guide (if selected) will show you the city’s most important squares, from Piazza del Campo to the Cathedral, passing through the beautiful ‘Contrade’ that define Siena. After the guided tour, enjoy free time for a coffee or Pan Forte (a local cake) and shopping in local stores.
Piazza del Campo - Piazza del Campo, the main square of Siena, is famous for its unique shell shape, beauty, and architectural integrity. It is also the site of the Palio di Siena, held twice a year.
Duomo di Siena - The Siena Cathedral, officially the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is the main Catholic church in Siena and the seat of the metropolitan archdiocese of Siena-Colle di Val d’Elsa-Montalcino. Built in the Italian Romanesque-Gothic style, it is one of Italy’s most significant churches in this style.
Piazza della Cisterna - Piazza della Cisterna, along with Piazza del Duomo, is one of the two main squares in San Gimignano. The triangular square has a slight natural slope and is connected to Piazza del Duomo by an open passage. It features herringbone brick pavement and is surrounded by noble houses and medieval towers.
Sightseeing Experience Visitor Center (meeting point tourist assistance) - Return in the evening to the same point in the city center.

Full day well worth it - Excellent full day. Lunch was very good plenty to eat for everyone and 3 good wines. The location was amazing. Barbara was brilliant tour leader who explained about every stop , how long the journey and the nearby toilets each time. I like the fact there was no waiting for latecomers it all ran like clockwork. only criticism is needed more time in pisa to climb tower because of crowds. Would definitely recommend this trip
