This full-day excursion showcases the very best of Tuscany, taking you through an extraordinary blend of iconic landmarks, medieval architecture and rolling vineyard-covered hills. Begin the day with the striking vistas of a celebrated piazza where a world-famous leaning campanile, an imposing cathedral and an ornate baptistery dominate the skyline. Photograph these historic monuments and soak up the unique atmosphere of this UNESCO-listed site. Travel onward into the Chianti countryside, where the gentle slopes and cypress-lined lanes create the classic Tuscan panorama. Midday is devoted to a relaxed lunch in a traditional countryside setting, paired with carefully chosen regional wines that reflect local winemaking traditions. The afternoon offers time to wander the narrow, medieval streets of a fortified city whose shell-shaped main square is a marvel of urban design, and then to ascend to a hilltop town famed for its skyline of ancient towers, artisan shops and panoramic viewpoints. Expect ample opportunities to sample local produce, browse independent craft stores and savour authentic gelato. The day concludes with a comfortable coach journey back to Florence, leaving you with lasting memories of Tuscany’s architecture, gastronomy and landscapes. Read more
