This tour is recommended to explore the heart of Tuscany and Umbria, their unique landscapes and towns.

FIRST DAY: You will be picked up at your apartment or hotel at 8 am and brought first straight to Siena. The little town is easy to be visited thoroughly on foot. Naturally, particular interest is given to the majestic and elegant Piazza del Campo. It is the main square of the town, the place of meeting and celebrations, and naturally also of the famous horse race "Palio", which is held twice every year, in July and in August. At the end of the visit of Siena (around noon) there is a stop at a local restaurant for lunch and to relax. The tour starts again at 2 pm and continues with the visit of San Gimignano, one of the most quintessential Italian villages, a reference for all those who appreciate history, fine taste, and genuine atmosphere. You will be able to wander around the little alleys, explore the ancient gates, visit the Duomo square and the beautiful, imposing palazzi, and stroll along its charming streets. The town is famous for its countless and mesmerising 100 medieval towers. Above all, what is striking is the myriad colours, so typical of this land and of this town, revealing the many aspects to be explored, and their ancient history. The visit of San Gimignano ends around 4 pm, and it is time to head now for Pisa, where you will arrive around 7:00 pm.
