What you can expect

Explore the timeless beauty of Tuscany with this comfortable and enjoyable day trip from Florence, perfect for solo travellers, couples, and families. Departing from Florence aboard a fully equipped coach, this journey takes you through the breathtaking landscapes of Tuscany to discover medieval villages, ancient walls, castles, and fascinating Templar legends. Our first stop is Pienza, a charming Renaissance village located in the heart of the Val d'Orcia. Famous worldwide for its delicious Pecorino di Pienza, this stop is the perfect opportunity to stroll through picturesque streets and taste one of Tuscany’s most iconic cheeses. After visiting Pienza, the tour continues to Montalcino, a medieval hill town internationally renowned for its prestigious wines, especially Brunello di Montalcino. Here you will have the opportunity to enjoy local wine tastings and traditional Tuscan products, experiencing the authentic flavours of the region. The journey then takes us to Monteriggioni, one of the best-preserved fortified villages in Italy. Surrounded by impressive 13th-century defensive walls, this small medieval town is famous worldwide for inspiring settings in a popular video game where the protagonist battles the legendary Knights Templar. A dedicated museum is included in the tour experience. Before returning, enjoy the spectacular landscapes of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rolling emerald hills that transform into golden fields during summer. Film lovers may even recognise scenery featured in the iconic film Gladiator, filmed along these very hills. This unforgettable day tour combines history, culture, wine, gastronomy, and breathtaking Tuscan landscapes, offering a perfect introduction to the authentic charm of medieval Tuscany.

If you select Transfer Only option you'll be free to visit independently each village and taste Tuscan flavours on your own.
