What to expect
You'll be collected from your Florence accommodation and driven through Tuscan countryside toward San Gimignano, where dramatic stone towers puncture the hilltop town. Your driver will suggest the best viewpoints and explain what's worth exploring in each location. The route then sweeps through Chianti's vineyard-patchwork landscape. You can request a stop at a working winery for lunch and tastings—these operate independently and aren't included, so you'll settle costs directly. The driver remains available throughout, answering questions and helping navigate the stops that appeal to you most.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring San Gimignano's steep streets. If you're interested in winery visits, mention this when booking so your driver can arrange access. The minivan is air-conditioned but brings layers for variable Tuscan weather. Infant seats available; prams suit most stops.
