After breakfast you will join a Half Day City Tour that will take you first to Piazzale Michelangelo, a large square on the outskirts of Florence, to admire the wonderful panorama of the city, one of the most fascinating in the world. Then proceed by motor coach through the old city center on an outdoor guided tour of the Duomo complex, Giotto’s bell tower, and the Baptistery, with its impressive bronze doors. A short walk through the historic streets of the heart of Florence brings you to the renowned Galleria dell’Accademia where you will admire the famous David sculpture by Michelangelo as well as other prominent works by Florentine artists. After the tour, continue exploring the city center on your own and then enjoy dinner at your leisure.
With two more days in Florence, there is plenty for you to still see. We recommend visiting one of the most important art museums in the world: the Uffizi Gallery. Once inside, admire important masterpieces from artists such as Botticelli, Raphael and Leonardo Da Vinci. Other museums worth a visit include the Pitti Palace and the Bargello Museum. Afterwards, take some time to shop for quality leather in the leather district or gold as you stroll along the Ponte Vecchio, famous all around the world for its jewelry shops. On one of these days you may wish to take an optional excursion to nearby Pisa in order to see the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Travel via rental car through the Tuscan countryside with its ever-changing scenery of vineyards and olive trees. Arrive in the medieval city of Siena, famous for the Palio horse race and admire its marvelous Cathedral, the unique, fan shaped Piazza del Campo and the majestic Palazzo Comunale. From Siena enjoy day trips to the multi-towered hilltop town of San Gimignano, medieval Montepulciano and Volterra, or the enchanting Saint Antimo Abbey. Taste the excellent wines of the Chianti area and stop in a vineyard in Montalcino, where the international award winning Brunello wine is produced. Of course, some of the most typical Tuscan specialties will accompany your wine, and you will enjoy delicious recipes of genuine and simple ingredients passed down through the centuries. One suggestion for an unforgettable trip: drive your car through the countryside and get lost! You will not be disappointed by what you may discover.
