About this tour
Break up the Rome–Florence drive with a proper Tuscan detour. Your private Mercedes driver collects you from your Rome hotel and heads northwest through rolling countryside, stopping in medieval Siena for a few hours to wander Piazza del Campo and grab lunch at your own pace. Then it's a final 45-minute push to Florence, with a stop at Piazzale Michelangelo—the city's highest vantage point—before dropping you at your hotel. Eight hours total, no luggage wrestling.

What to expect
Your driver meets you at your Rome accommodation and handles your bags. The journey north crosses into Tuscany, with countryside views building as you approach Siena. You'll have roughly two to three hours to explore the hilltop town, scramble up the bell tower if you fancy it, and eat somewhere decent—it's on your dime. After regrouping, it's an easy motorway stint toward Florence. Before arrival, you'll stop at Piazzale Michelangelo for the classic view: terracotta roofs, the Duomo, Arno snaking below. Then straight to your hotel.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included; budget for Siena or countryside trattorias. The drive is smooth and professional. Bring a hat for Piazzale Michelangelo—it's exposed and popular with other tourists. Prams and infant seats available. All areas wheelchair accessible.
