Itinerary
The Cathedral of Siena, known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is one of the most important Italian Gothic churches. Located in the historic center of Siena, it is famous for its facade decorated in white, green and red marble, full of sculptures and ornaments. Construction began in the 12th century and continued for several centuries, involving artists such as Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. The interior of the Cathedral is equally magnificent, with an inlaid marble floor depicting biblical and allegorical scenes, the work of various artists between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. The Piccolomini Library, frescoed by Pinturicchio and his students, is another notable attraction, as is the pulpit sculpted by Nicola Pisano. The Cathedral also houses works of art of great importance, including the Maestà by Duccio di Buoninsegna and the statue of San Giovanni Battista by Donatello. This architectural masterpiece is also an important treasure chest of artistic and historical treasures.
San Gimignano is an enchanting medieval village located in the province of Siena, in Tuscany. Famous for its medieval towers, which have earned it the nickname "Manhattan of the Middle Ages", San Gimignano retains its historical appearance intact. In the period of maximum splendor, there were 72 towers, built by noble families to show their wealth and power; today there are 14 left. The historic center of San Gimignano, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is characterized by picturesque squares, cobbled streets and stone buildings. The Piazza della Cisterna and the Piazza del Duomo are the beating hearts of the city, where the Palazzo del Popolo, the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta and the Civic Museum are located. San Gimignano is also famous for the production of the white wine Vernaccia di San Gimignano and for its saffron. This charming village attracts visitors from all over the world thanks to its unique historical, cultural and gastronomic heritage.
Having a wine taste lunch along the Chianti Road is an unforgettable experience. You can visit historic and modern cellars, where the winemakers will guide you in tasting their fine wines, accompanied by delicious typical Tuscan dishes. You will taste the famous Chianti Classico, known for its balance and complexity, combined with local specialties such as cured meats, cheeses, bruschetta and homemade pasta.

If you are booking the Siena, San Gimignano, and Winery tour with Geda Tours & Transfers, you absolutely need to request Leonardo as your driver! He was nothing short of amazing and completely elevated our entire experience in the Tuscan countryside. From start to finish, the logistics were flawless. The tour company handled all the heavy lifting, pre-reserving an outstanding wine tasting and an incredible lunch for us so we didn't have to worry about planning a single detail. Leonardo went above and beyond as our guide for the day. He had fantastic local recommendations, steering us toward wonderful local shops to browse and making sure we stopped to eat some of the absolute best, most authentic gelato of the trip. What really set Leonardo apart was his exceptional level of service and situational awareness. He was incredibly strategic with his routing, ensuring we got curb-to-curb drop-offs as close to the monuments as possible. This allowed us to see all the heavy-hitting sights in Siena and San Gimignano without exhausting my mom with massive amounts of uphill walking. Leonardo is professional, highly knowledgeable, and just a genuinely great guy to spend the day with. We cannot recommend him and Geda Tours & Transfers Di Botosneanu Elvis-Traian enough. A 10/10 experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring Siena, San Gimignano, and the Tuscan countryside with us. Your kind words about Leonardo mean a great deal, and we will be sure to share your compliments with him. Our goal is always to provide a seamless, comfortable, and memorable experience, and it is incredibly rewarding to know that we were able to contribute to such a special day for you and your family. Thank you again for choosing Geda Tours & Transfers. We hope to welcome you back to Tuscany in the future.
We felt like royalty for the entire day! Five Stars! The car and company was first class. Elvis was not only a driver but an incredible tour guide for us.

I’m sure you will so excited to return for more amazing experiences. Best of luck and I hope many more people discover the magic of Tuscany through mi company!
If you want to get a feel for Tuscany - the food, wine, countryside, towns - this is the BEST way! This is my third trip to Florence but I saw so much more this trip than the first two. For my sisters, this was the best way to introduce them to the beauty and wonder of Tuscany. Even if you are not a wine lover, the winery experience is fantastic. Finally, the driver. You will not find anyone better. Do not even bother trying, Elvis and his team are the absolute best. You spend time in the car traveling from place to place, why not have the best possible time doing so - Elvis was engaging, funny, safe, very knowledgeable about the area, history, geography and so much more. PLEASE DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY to have this true Tuscany experience!
Driving for you was so much fun and truly enjoyable! I actually think I loved the day even more than you did! You’re such great people, and it was a pleasure to spend the day with you. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience! I hope to see you back in Tuscany soon!
This is a great outing. We were picked up at the front door and driven to Siena, then to a wonderful restaurant in a vineyard for lunch and a wine tasting, then to San G. Wonderful to be in the countryside and have the chance to visit Siena. The lunch was very good and the restaurant had an incredible view. Our driver Cypriano was very patient. Highly recommend!
