Stroll through the city’s most iconic squares and landmarks, starting at elegant Repubblica Square before continuing to the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo to learn the legend of the Porcellino.

Visit the famous Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge spared during World War II, then walk toward Uffizi Square and vibrant Signoria Square—an open-air museum featuring Palazzo Vecchio and the Loggia dei Lanzi. Your tour ends at San Giovanni Square, home to the spectacular Duomo, Brunelleschi’s Dome, the Baptistery, and Giotto’s Bell Tower.

Make your own way to the meeting point. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Chianti countryside before arriving in the historic city of Siena. Meet your professional guide for an engaging tour of its major highlights, from Piazza del Campo to the impressive Gothic Cathedral. Afterward, enjoy some free time for a coffee or to explore on your own.

Continue to a traditional Tuscan winery nestled near San Gimignano, where you’ll enjoy a three-course regional lunch paired with excellent local wines. You’ll then head to San Gimignano, one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval hill towns, with free time to wander its narrow lanes, charming squares, and artisan boutiques.

Next, travel to the iconic city of Pisa. Your guide will take you to the renowned Square of Miracles to admire the Cathedral, Baptistery, Monumental Cemetery, and of course, the famous Leaning Tower.

As you return to Florence, relax and enjoy the beautiful Tuscan landscapes along the way.

Next, travel to Assisi, the city of Saints Francis and Clare. Walk its steep alleys with a local guide and visit the Basilica of Saint Francis, home to stunning frescoes by Giotto and other masters, as well as the Basilica of Saint Clare. Enjoy some free time to shop or relax in the main square.

Before returning to Florence, stop at the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels, built around the small Porziuncola chapel where the Franciscan movement began.

A short train ride brings you to Vernazza, one of the most photographed villages, perfect for relaxing by its tiny harbor and soaking in the timeless atmosphere.

Next, visit Monterosso, known as “The Pearl of the Cinque Terre,” where you can enjoy its sandy beaches and surrounding lush landscapes. From here, take a scenic boat ride along the coast, admiring the villages from the sea.
