During this private tour, you will travel in the comfort of an air-conditioned minivan to explore three of Tuscany’s most enchanting gems: Florence, San Gimignano and Monteriggioni. Each destination carries the magic of the Middle Ages, with stone walls, Gothic palaces, and narrow streets that tell stories from centuries past.

Your first stop is Florence, a city of art and elegance. Here you will spend about 3 hours, including about 2 hours guided walking tour with a local expert. 

Florence is full of remarkable attractions that showcase its art, history, and architecture. Here are some of the most important ones:

  • The Florence Cathedral (Duomo) is the city’s most iconic landmark, with its massive dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi.
  • The Uffizi Gallery houses one of the world’s greatest collections of Renaissance art, including works by Sandro Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci.
  • The Ponte Vecchio is a famous medieval bridge lined with small jewelry shops, offering beautiful views over the Arno River.
  • The Palazzo Pitti is a grand former residence of the Medici family, located in the Oltrarno district.
  • Behind it, the Boboli Gardens provide a large green space filled with sculptures, fountains, and scenic paths.
  • The Piazza della Signoria is the political heart of the city, surrounded by historic buildings and open-air sculptures.
  • The Palazzo Vecchio overlooks the square and serves as Florence’s historic town hall.
  • The Basilica of Santa Croce is known for being the burial place of famous Italians like Michelangelo and Galileo Galilei.

Together, these attractions make Florence a unique open-air museum, rich in beauty and history.

Next stop is San Gimignano, known as the “Medieval Manhattan” for its iconic towers dominating the skyline. Here, you’ll have about one hour of free time to explore at your leisure: sip a glass of Vernaccia, browse artisan shops, or enjoy an award-winning gelato.

Finally  you’ll head to Monteriggioni, a perfectly preserved medieval fortress perched on a hill. Its intact walls and towers make it look like something out of a fairy tale. Take a short stroll, capture unforgettable photos, and enjoy its authentic atmosphere.

This 8-hour tour blends history, beauty, and flavors into one unforgettable Tuscan experience.
