In Depth Description of Best of Tuscany Tour

The Best of Tuscany is an 8-hour tour to San Gimignano and Siena, two remarkable medieval towns in the Chianti region. To facilitate your enjoyment our guide explains the history and highlights of each fascinating hill town in private transport on the way while you enjoy the very beautiful and aptly famous Tuscan landscape. The guide also stops for photo opportunities at particularly scenic locations. Upon arrival at each town our guide gives you time to explore after pointing out the best places to see artisan's studios, local producers of typical Tuscan products, nice places to 'people watch' while enjoying a cold drink and where to explore the town's highlights.
