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. You are given time in San Gimignano, Siena and Monteriggione where you can choose to just soak up the atmosphere or try one of the other activities outlined above. The tour also includes a gourmet light Tuscan lunch of quality products produced in Tuscany.
