With a rich history of architecture, art, and culture, Siena itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy two hours of exploration throughout the beautiful buildings, artisanal shops, award winning restaurants, and picturesque alleyways.

While discovering Siena, you will inevitably find your way to the most famous square in the city - Piazza del Campo. Not only is this piazza a popular place for locals to gather, but it is also home to an annual palio horse race, which is an epic competition between the different neighborhoods of Siena! After admiring the panoramic views of this large, shell shaped square, you will have free time to grab a cappuccino at one of the many cafes lining Piazza del Campo, experiencing Siena as the locals do.

Rising above Piazza del Campo, you can find Torre del Mangia, the intriguing clock tower of Siena. This incredible tower dominates the city's skyline and is the third tallest tower in all of Italy! Interestingly, the tower was built to be the exact same height as the Siena Cathedral. If you are looking for unique views of the city and Cathedral, climbing the tower is a great way to discover the beauty of Siena. Entrance is not included in this tour.

Make your way to the beating heart of Siena - the Siena Cathedral. At first sight, you will notice the breathtaking facade and its various colored marbles and a unique example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Inside, you will immediately be amazed by the incredible marble, mosaic floors, which depict biblical stories on 56 different scenes. As you look up, you will see masterpieces throughout the church from Renaissance masters including Donatello, Pisano, Pinturicchio, and Michelangelo. Walk through the breathtaking atmosphere inside, and don't forget to stop in the striking Piccolomini Library on your way out! Entrance is included in the price of this tour.

After a captivating morning of exploration in Siena, you can relax in the backseat of the air conditioned, luxury vehicle. Your driver will take you to San Gimignano along some of the most picturesque streets in Italy. Scenes that you have only seen in postcards will truly come to life! On this private tour, you have the perk of being able to ask your driver to stop as you prefer, so you can take incredible photos that will remain in your memory forever.

From a distance, you will begin to see San Gimignano, with its unmistakable medieval “skyscrapers.” Sometimes called a medieval Manhattan, there are still thirteen towers intact in this perfectly preserved hilltop town. Your driver will drop you off outside the ancient gate of the city, and where you can find a famous panoramic viewpoint of the Tuscan countryside. You will have an hour to explore the lovely town of San Gimignano as you please.

As you wander through the characteristic alleyways of San Gimignano, the streets will lead you to Piazza della Cisterna. This is the main square of the city, and where you can find the Cathedral, Duomo, and striking medieval architecture! You can grab a gelato or a coffee during your free time while enjoying the lovely views of this Renaissance city.

During your free time in San Gimignano, discover the historic Cathedral and Duomo. Inside, you can find ancient and beautiful frescoes colorfully decorating the walls of the Cathedral. Many tourists skip entering this sacred church, and it is truly a hidden gem in the center of the town.

After exploring the timeless beauty of San Gimignano, it will be time to depart for a great symbol of Italy - Pisa! The drive will last about an hour, as you travel in complete comfort.

With the Leaning Tower right in front of you, a visit inside will be irresistible! Enhance your experience in Pisa by making your way to the top of the Leaning Tower. From the peak, you can admire the stunning and diverse views of Pisa from above the rooftops of these ancient buildings. Enjoy the breeze on your skin, and then take some fun photos before heading back down! Admission fee is not included.

In the center of Piazza dei Miracoli, you will find the Cathedral of Pisa. Often overlooked by the Leaning Tower, this church is a hidden gem of pure beauty in Tuscany. The Cathedral is one of the first examples of “Pisan Romanesque” architecture, a form of design only found in Pisa and towns nearby. Discover the intricate carvings on the facade of the building, so precise it is almost unbelievable this was completed over almost a thousand years ago. Enter the Cathedral for truly heavenly views: Cimabue’s iconic fresches, Giovanni Pisano’s pulpit, and golden ceilings.

After grabbing some last minute souvenirs from Pisa, hop into the backseat of your comfortable, private vehicle, and you will be on your way.
