WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Florence
Begin your journey through the heart of Tuscany in absolute comfort… A private driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation in a luxury Mercedes vehicle. Then, you will be on your way, driving through the spellbinding scenery of Tuscany with its vibrant greenery, hilltop towns, and countless vineyards. You will arrive in Siena in about an hour.
2. Siena
Your driver will drop you off very close to the Siena Cathedral, a major perk of arriving in a private vehicle! Siena is a hidden gem of medieval glory in the Tuscany region. 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.
3. Piazza del Campo
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.
4. Torre del Mangia
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.
5. Duomo di Siena
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.
6. Chianti Road
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.
7. San Gimignano
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.
8. Piazza della Cisterna
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.
9. Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta - Duomo di San Gimignano
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.
10. Pisa
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.
11. Leaning Tower of Pisa
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.
12. Duomo di Pisa
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.
13. Florence
After grabbing some last minute souvenirs from Pisa, hop into the backseat of your comfortable, private vehicle, and you will be on your way. Enjoy the return drive in the comfort of a private, luxury vehicle. The drive will take about one hour, and you will be dropped off at your accommodation in Florence.

We just got back from our private tour through Tuscany with Christian through Ciao Florence and we are so glad we booked this! First, Christian was extremely knowledgeable about the entire history of Italy and helpful in planning our day. We ended up doing a local winery tour/tasting and that was the best decision! All 3 towns were beautiful and we had the convenience of being dropped off close to the main attractions so we weren’t wasting our time walking to these things but instead had more time to enjoy them. I’d highly recommend this tour and I’d say keep your itinerary open to allow for flexibility in your day. The private tour was the way to go and if you get Christian as your guide you will have gotten an even better day than you expected!

We had the most amazing day in Tuscany on a private tour with Cristian! He was personable and knowledgeable about the region, wine, and historical information. He instantly engaged my teenagers who have completely different interests and made it our favorite day on the trip. Thank you Christian for listening to our interests and making the day everything we wanted!

Beautiful scenery. Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Lunch was arranged at a private winery. We left our umbrellas in our apartment and our driver kindly provided them when it rained unexpectedly. We would highly recommend Christian our driver for the day.

This was a well organized and meticulously structured tour. Our driver Mario was a rather sympathetic and a 'security-first' guy. Our guides, Svetlana and Canderk, both of them were quite informative, energetic, attentive and helpful by all means. I heartfully recommend this tour to everyone who is interested in the region.

Cristian was our driver guide for our day in Tuscany. It was a lovely day and we were able to see Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena. Additionally, Cristian arranged for us to have a lunch with wine pairings at a vineyard. This was a last minute add on that my husband and I greatly enjoyed, and even our children, who are too young to drink, enjoyed! Then, at the end of the day, he took us to Piazza Michelangelo for incredible evening views of Florence. I would highly recommend this tour - it was a long and full day that was truly memorable!

My family and I had a wonderful time with this tour. I read the description, inclusion and exclusion so I asked CIAO FLORENCE to help me book all the tour tickets and lunch (at this wonderful winery with wine pairings) that we wanted to do for additional costs. It’s all worth it.
Our driver VALENTINO was the best!. He was on time and always communicating on where and when we would meet for every stops. He was very informative on historical sites and great insights on them. He pointed to us what we must see on our stops. We also had random conversations that made our commute fun!
I totally would recommend this tour. WE like paying for comfort and if you have a kid / kids, I highly recommend this tour.
I highly recommend Valentino as the driver as well.
To make this successful, you have to communicate your needs ahead of time and CIAO FLORENCE made it easy, they started a WhatApp channel right away after booking.
