Description:

Explore the enchanting city of Siena and the charming Tuscan towns of San Gimignano and Monteriggioni on this full-day tour. Learn about the history and culture of the charming Chianti region as you taste your way around the unspoiled vineyards and olive groves that dot the countryside.

Your first destination takes you back in time with a visit to Monteriggioni—a medieval walled city with Romanesque churches and an extensive history that dates back to the early 13th century.

Your next stop is Siena, where you tour the magnificent Cathedral of Siena, the Palazzo Comunale (the municipal building), and Piazza del Campo—the site where the famous Palio Horse Race is held each year.

Make your way to the UNESCO-listed town of San Gimignano. Explore the quaint alleyways, churches, and ancient architecture before trying some of the delicious gelato at the shop twice-voted the world's best (at the industry's Gelato World Cup).

Finally, stop at an authentic local farmhouse to sample Tuscan wines and a delicious snack of sliced cold meats, bruschetta, salami, and cheese.
