About this tour
Skip the crowded coach tours and explore two of Tuscany's finest medieval towns with a private driver who can actually take you into the historic centres. This nine-hour excursion from Livorno starts in San Gimignano, where you'll wander the famous tower-studded streets at your own pace, then heads south to Siena's striking piazza and terracotta-tiled lanes. Your driver provides local commentary throughout the journey through rolling Tuscan countryside, then delivers you back to the port on schedule.
Highlights
- Private vehicle access into San Gimignano's medieval core
- Siena's dramatic piazza and Gothic architecture
- Tuscany landscape views en route between towns
- English-speaking driver with local knowledge
- Independent exploration time in each village
What to expect
Your driver meets you at the Livorno port exit and drives you through Tuscany's countryside to San Gimignano first. You'll have several hours to explore this compact hilltop village independently—climb the towers, duck into churches, browse local shops. The driver points out key sights and manages timing. You'll then drive to Siena, where you're dropped in the historic centre with more unstructured time to discover the famous piazza, cathedral, and winding streets. The driver confirms your meeting point and return time before departure. It's a straightforward, self-guided exploration with logistical support rather than a guided tour.
Good to know
The vehicle is air-conditioned and includes bottled water and onboard WiFi. Prams and infant seats are available. City maps and an audio guide help navigate each town independently. Public transport options exist nearby if you prefer them. Comfortable walking shoes essential—both towns involve hills and cobblestones.
