Tuscany in One Day Sightseeing Tour

Florence, Italy

Famous for a wealth of art, history, striking landscapes and outstanding produce, Tuscany really does have the best of all worlds! With only a day to spare, see the best Tuscany has to offer on this full-day guided coach trip from Florence.

Meet your local guide before heading for the hills on a scenic drive through the Tuscan countryside. Your first stop for the day is gothic Siena, famous for its medieval streets. Choose to join a guided tour through the city(free entry inside the Cathedral is included). Or, alternatively, you're free to marvel the sights of Siena at your own pace, enjoy a drink in an open air cafe and meet the locals.

Enjoy a stroll among Chianti vineyards, olive groves and wine cellars before indulging in a traditional Tuscan lunch amongst the Sienese hills where Chianti wine is produced. Surrounded by grapes vines you'll have the opportunity to meet fellow travelers while feasting on local foods including cold meats, salads, pasta and bread. A wine-tasting class will be held during lunch including free samples of wine and olive oil (which are also available for purchase).

After lunch you will visit San Gimignano where you can roam the maze of cobbled streets and small squares, grab a gelato and walk between San Gimignano's famous 14 towers. Your final stop is Pisa, where you can take an up-close inspection of The Leaning Tower, view the Cathedral, the Baptistery and monumental Cemetery in Pisa before venturing back to Florence where your full-day tour concludes.

The tour was excellent. Our guide Stephano was awesome! He was very patient, friendly and ensures everyone was onboard! Kudos to Stephano and the Italian driver! Highly recommended to all. My favourite destination was Sienna and lunch in Tuscany!

Review by: Kim	May 2012
Tour was great and the program was really value for money. Our guide (walkabout tour) made the difference between a normal tour and a great tour, he was very informative, fun and lively throughout the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Review by: Eduardo S	May 2012
Elisa was our leader and she was fantastic. She was funny, very helpful and knew so much about the places we visited that, together with her personality, made the whole experience really enjoyable. We visitied San Gimingano which was SOOOOO beautiful; Sienna and Pisa were nice too but San Gimingano impressed us the most.

Review by: Dr JI d	May 2012
For a solo inexperienced backpacker, this was an excellent and affordable way to get a real taste of the Tuscany countryside including all the major sights. Our guide, Michelle, was enthusiastic and very helpful with even the most "silly" or "obvious" of questions.

Review by: AC	May 2012
My husband and I absolutely loved this trip. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide was great! Really enjoyed the lunch at the farm - the best prosciutto we had ever had. Seeing Tuscany from several of these towns was unbelievable. The weather turned out great and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Review by: Life-is-good	April 2012
A must for every first time travel to Florence. It was so good. the eceptional personlaity of the tour guide, Becky native from London, made the trip very enjoyable. A rare find.

Review by: Deborah W	April 2012
The tour was great. Our guide was knowledgeable and humorous. Lunch was fantastic. The view from our tables was breathtaking. If you only have one day to see Tuscany, this is the way to go.

Review by: Catherine P	April 2012
What a wonderful, wonderful day. Well worth every penny! We loved the places we visited and have sworn to go back and stay in Siena now. The guide was so so helpful and friendly. The meal and wine tasting was great fun and a well deserved break on our trip. We both had tickets to go up the Leaning Tower of Pisa and hadn't realized that the numbers are strictly limited - so an essential to book well in advance! Will definitely be using this company again - couldn't fault our day!

Review by: Jennifer B	April 2012
Becky was the best guide! She was so informative and fun. The day trip was planned really well, not too long on the coach and plenty of time to enjoy each stop. The winery was my favorite, the food was fantastic and the wine was even better. I highly recommend this day trip!

Review by: Armando S	April 2012
Good trip the lunch was great and some great areas to take pictures.

Review by: mamtavn	April 2012
I don't think we could have covered all those places in day's time on our own. Enjoyed the country side!

Review by: Dana S	April 2012
Fun, seemless, informative, great guide, beautiful sights, enjoyable, loved the food, good mix of tours and free time to explore.

Review by: Grace M	April 2012
Our trip was great, the guide was very nice and had lots of facts

Review by: Mindy Z	April 2012
This tour was way tooooooo much fun. The tour guide was interesting, funny and informed. He made the trip enjoyable. There are many stops in different parts of Tuscany. The food for lunch was excellent and the wine was so yummy. This tour is worth the money.

Review by: Brittany B	April 2012
Amazing trip! We were able to see so much in one day which made this trip such a value. Our tour guide, Michelle, was perfect and the farm lunch was my favorite moment of my whole vacation! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Tuscany for the day.

Review by: Jono	April 2012
What a wonderful day, from our guide Sandra who was superb to the fantastic scenery... The 12 hours flew past. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to spend a pleasent day out exploring the Tuscan countryside.

Review by: John G	April 2012
Wonderful Day! Excellent trip! tour guide (Chris) was fun, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Lunch at the farm was great!

Review by: zorro	April 2012
Good deal for all you get to see and do. Enough time spent at each stop. Be prepared to buy some wine at the farm, great wine, great prices!

Review by: Lora F	April 2012
We've taken many day tours and this has to be the BEST one ever. The organization was amazing. No ride longer than 1 1/2 hours. Interesting and enthusiastic guide (Barbara) who keep us all entertained, enlightened and happily on time. Nice enough to wait 15 mins to roll out and organized enough to make it up on the road. Each site was a wonder and had it's own highlights. Time at each place was great and the winery/farm tour short, interesting and no pressure and the lunch and the view outside the dinning room of San G was one of the best ever. They even sold water on the bus for 1 Euro if you didn't think to bring it. Had also sorts of special surprises to delight you along the way. If I could I would double the stars to 10. Go if you can Tuscany is more beautiful than imagined and this trip highlights every aspect of it. Thank you Walkabout Tours and thank you Barbara and driver Demetri--your the BEST!

Review by: Elizabeth H	April 2012
This day trip was a little taste of everything! The tour guides were great about giving us information and keeping our day on track. I would highly recommend this tour for those visiting the area and wanting to get a little taste of Tuscany!

Review by: Jenny C	April 2012
This was by far the best thing we did during our two week vacation. The itinerary was well-planned, the tour guide (Chris!!) was well-informed and very nice, and the scenery was amazing. All in all one of my favorite experiences abroad yet, and we've been traveling for quite some time. Well done!!! I highly recommend this. It's definitely worth the money. One last thing: Chris was probably the best tour guide we've ever had as well; great job Chris!

Review by: Miguel	April 2012
Great tour. Our guide, Chris, was outstanding, very professional and most passionate. It was a wonderfull experience.

Review by: CHOL	April 2012
Absolutely fabulous!! This was a highlight of our trip -- Guide was great -- We had Chris who was very knowledgable and enthusiastic.

Review by: Christy	April 2012
Our tour guide, Stefano, was 6 stars. He was delightful, funny, accommodating and knowledgeable. Overall the tour was fantastic, especially Siena, but Pisa itself, which is no fault of Viator, was a disappointment. It was a bit "seedy" just outside the walls of the tower and there wasn't much to see. However, it was still a great day and driving through the Tuscan countryside made me dream of what it would be like to "Live under the Tuscan Sun"._br/_ I would highly recommend this tour!

Review by: Nancy V	April 2012
Stefano was great! He clearly knew his subject well and was very informative as well as entertaining.

Review by: Nan W	April 2012
Tour guide Agata was fabulous. One day does not do justice to this area, but if that's all you have then DO THIS TOUR! Wish we'd had more time in Pisa at the end of the day. Sienna tour guide was rated a bit of a sourpuss by all three of us on the tour.

Review by: Mark C	April 2012
Fabulous tour, guide was great, would highly recommend.

Review by: David W	April 2012
Our guide, Chris was exceptional and the tour turned out to be the best experience that we had through our eight days in Italy.

Review by: Patricia M	April 2012
This tour was alright. There were several travelers with us that talked incessantly and raised their voices over our guide. Our guide should have politely asked them to lower their voices, but she choose to pretend it wasn't happening. My experience was definitely affected by this. It was too much money to pay for the overall experience I had.

Review by: Sunitha C	April 2012
Had a fantastic time visitig Sienna, Sangimoano and Pisa. Our tour guide was excellent, explaining every minute details. Wonderful climate (March) and lovely lunch with heavenly wines. A tour worth every penny!!

Review by: simts	April 2012
Tour is only suited if you want to have a quick view of the places of interest. Winery tour is in a rush and travellers at the tail end would have missed out lots given the walk around is about 15mins.

Review by: Nadia K	April 2012
Covered a lot in a day and trip to the farm with local food and wine was a real highlight

Review by: Desert Rose	April 2012
Phenomenal trip and highly recommend it. Our friendly and wonderful guide was very knowledgeable and responded to every inquiry with such concern. Met very nice people on the trip as well. My only regret is that we did not have more free time to roam in Siena, which was awe-inspiring, but this certainly did not do anything to detract from the wonderful day.

Review by: Tracy G	April 2012
Out of 10 days traveling through Venice, Florence, and Rome this Tuscany day trip was by far the highlight of our trip. I would recommend it to anyone.

Review by: Timothy B	April 2012
This was the best tour we had during our two weeks in Italy. Stefano was very engaging from the moment the tour started. We covered a lot of area during the day and gained much knowledge in the process. The visit/lunch to the organic was farm wonderful. We had enough time at each of the stops (Sienna, San Gimignano, and Pisa) to get a taste of each city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone spending time in Florence.

Review by: jfctavares	April 2012
Wonderful, wonderful tour. This was by far the best tour I've ever taken in Europe. Walkabout was excellent, and our guide Becky was the nicest guide I've ever met. She really took care of us and made the trip fun. Siena was beautiful, San Gimigniano was awesome, and the trip up Pisa's Leaning Tower was so much better than I thought it would be. They even have a little gas-powered train that takes you from the bus parking lot to the Field of Miracles. You get to have a nice little tour through the town that way.

Review by: Helen M	April 2012
Brilliant, highly recommended. Great guide, great views, great wine. Excellent.

Review by: jlmksm	April 2012
Very delightful and enjoyable tour. Fantastic food at the farm. Barbara and Sergio were an outstanding bus driver and guide team.

Review by: Harith S	April 2012
Great trip. Saw and experienced a great deal in one day. The tour guide on the bus was wonderful, so was the driver. Both very informative, patient and considerate. Great value for money. I have to mention the great lunch, particularly the Italian wine. Highly recommended.

Review by: JOst1013	April 2012
This entire tour was a truly excellent experience. It provided a great sampling of what Tuscany has to offer. Our tour guide (Stefano) was upbeat, friendly, and knowledgeable. He was constantly providing history and commentary throughout the tour. The towns were beautiful and you get an great view of the surrounding countryside from the top of San Gimignano. The vineyard lunch/tasting was also excellent and a few bottles of the local olive oil and wine accompanied me home._br/_ The only piece of advice I'd give is to purchase the Leaning Tower of Pisa ticket in advance with the tour booking. Less than half the people on my tour had purchased these tickets up front and they were sold out when we arrived. It's worth the climb so don't miss out there.

Review by: Joanne T	April 2012
This was my favorite part of my entire Italy trip! The Piazza del Campo in Siena was great to learn about, the Leaning Tower of Pisa was fun to climb, and we saw the most gorgeous views while eating a delicious lunch in San Gimignano. I highly recommend this tour!

Review by: Maria del Pilar Velez	March 2012
The best tour ever in Italy!!! Chris our guide was the best: his charisma and personality made of this trip a wonderful experience. very confortable buses. Will go back and hopefully Chris will be our guide again!

Review by: Arthur E	March 2012
We enjoyed the day. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, informative, and clever, with a great sense of humor. The side trips were fun and we enjoyed the sights at the three stops. Lunch was one of the best we had during our stay.

Review by: Michael	March 2012
A delightful trip but with a lot of uphill walking! Our tour guide was wonderful and accessible and spoke perfect English. We managed to do A LOT in one day and enjoyed every minute.

Review by: John L, United States of America	July 2010
Don't miss this tour.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	July 2010
Fantastic day,friendly tour guide,highly recommended!

Review by: Thomas V, United States of America	July 2010
Extremely friendly and helpful tour guide, Douglass. The whole day is very well organized and you get to see three amazing Tuscan cities and towns. Recommend purchasing the option to climb the tower in Pisa -- it is a very manageable 9 story climb for most people.

Review by: Emily D, Australia	July 2010
The tour was fantastic - the amount you see in just one day was amazing. We had Becky and she was brilliant - so friendly and helpful to everyone who was on the tour. The lunch was also great. Definately recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a quick 'tuscany' experience on a tight schedule.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2010
Our tour was fantastic! The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They spoke perfect English. The bus ride was comfortable, clean and air conditioned. All the sites were amazing. Each stop on the tour was given the appropriate amount of time. We appreciated the "on your own time" as well. Visiting the winery and tasting a typical Italian meal, paired with delicious wines from the region was a real treat! We'd highly recommend this tour. It's one you shouldn't miss!
