Itinerary
The first village you will reach is San Gimignano, with old medieval towers to view and vibrant ceramic shops to peruse. You will also have the chance to savour the best gelato of San Gimignano, on the location where the acclaimed “Tea with Mussolini” was filmed. On your free time another suggestion would be to enter and visit the little history museum of San Gimignano, which hosts the true reproduction of the XIV century tower. In between the two Medieval Villages you will visit a famous wine cellar where the winemaker will introduce you to his products. You will have a guided sampling of the unique Chianti white wine Vernaccia and the Chianti DOCG, paired with delicacies such as bruschettas with and pecorino cheese.
After the wine sampling we will reach Siena, the wonderful medieval village built among hills. Here our expert tour leader will lead you on to the historical center of the city, passing through the narrow medieval streets until we reach one of the most remarkable medieval squares in Europe, the Piazza del Campo, with its shell-shaped formation, characteristic of the ancient theaters. Siena has also one of the most monumental Cathedrals of Italy. During your free time you'll have time to visit.

We did three tips with Come and See Italy and Tanya was our guide. We did Florence, Pisa/Lucca, Siena/San Gimignano and the wine wasting. Tanya was absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable, attentive and even bought little gifts for us on the last tour. Tanya couldn’t do enough for us, she’s so clever and a real asset to the Company. We will miss her and her wide knowledge. I can’t recommend her enough so book with this company and ask for Tanya.
Tanya was amazing and very knowledgeable
My husband and I along with 2 friends took this as a private tour with Valery as our guide. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany. Everything was perfectly organized, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the beauty and history of the region. Siena was stunning with its magnificent cathedral and charming medieval streets. San Gimignano was equally memorable with its iconic towers and picturesque squares. Valery was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making the day both informative and enjoyable. The vineyard we stoped at for a wine tasting and light lunch was beautiful and delicious. The private nature of the tour allowed us to move at our own pace and truly savor each destination. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tuscany. It was a wonderful combination of history, culture, stunning landscapes and unforgettable memories.
This was one of the best tours we ever experienced. More than exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Valerie, was most knowledgeable, kind, fun and generous with her time. I will recommend this tour and Valerie to our friends and family
Our driver / guide Luigi was the best. He was very knowledgable of the areas, great personality, he keep us all engaged with our surroundings. I would recommend this tour to anyone if you love the medieval and renaissance architecture and way of life. This is a great tour to take. Don’t miss the Cathedral in Siena, it’s amazing.
Our guide Luigi was fantastic , very knowledgeable and passionate. 100% recommend. Wine tasting setting was perfect .
Our family’s Tuscan adventures have always been extraordinary, thanks to Tania. We first met her through Come and See Italy more than 20 years ago, and her deep knowledge and passion for Tuscany made us fall in love with the region. Tania curated unforgettable excursions that immersed us in the authentic Tuscan lifestyle—delicious food, exceptional wines, warm people, and vibrant culture. When we returned to Florence decades later with our children, choosing Tania again was an easy decision. She helped us create new magical memories, and I continue to recommend her to friends, all of whom have cherished their experiences with her.
This tour was a lovely day out. The Tuscany countryside, particularly around San Gimignano, is stunning! Our guide, Luigi, was friendly and full of interesting tidbits. There were 14 of us on the tour, with the group split into two vans - Tanya drove the other group. After a short introduction to each town we were given maps to explore on our own. Luigi had marked places not to miss, including his favorite gelato shop. The winery offered three different wines to taste (who knew there was a white Chianti?!) and even provided me with vegetarian snacks. The trip was well organized and on time.
Valeria tour guide was excellent. An enjoyable day lots to see and comfortable travel. Day was an easy pace Not rushed.
A very nice way to see Siena and San Gimignano, and try some wine. Valeria was the best, and took good care of us, and it was fun. Lucky to have good weather……………………………………
