Description:

Discover Florence's main attractions, and visit the Tuscan countryside in the same day. Spend your day between Florence's historic center and the breathtaking landscape of the Chianti region, and top off your experience with a delicious lunch and some winetastings.

Enjoy a 90-minute walking tour of Florence with a knowledgeable, local guide. Learn about Florentine history, hear about the city’s Roman origins, and marvel at its 15th-century palaces. Visit the main sites, from Ponte Vecchio bridge, through the famous Uffizi courtyard, to the impressive cathedral and its charming, Brunelleschi-designed dome.

After a delicious Tuscan lunch in a local restaurant in the heart of Florence, spend the rest of your day exploring the Chianti region.

Immerse yourself in the picturesque scenery, and breathe the fresh air of the wondrous Tuscan countryside. Stop at a charming wine estate near Castellina in Chianti to learn everything about the cellar and the various stages of wine production. Get the chance to test some of the wines produced at the farmhouse, together with some authentic bruschetta and salami tastings.

Keep heading south and visit Monteriggioni, a wonderful medieval fortress that elegantly dominates the surrounding landscape from the top of a hill. Admire the incredibly preserved walls, still intact as if time had never passed, and then enjoy a second wine tasting in the village before heading back to Florence.
