Best Tuscan Countryside Private Tour
“Spending three days in the Tuscan countryside with our guide, Franco Ceccato, was truly unforgettable. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and always tried to make sure every detail was just right for us. From answering all our questions to accommodating special requests, he made the experience feel easy and enjoyable. Thanks to his care and guidance, I was able to check a dream trip off my bucket list in the most meaningful way. I’ll always be grateful for the memories he helped create.” Valerie

Visiting Beautiful Tuscany, Italy!
This was not our first trip with Tuscany Private Tours, but it is the first time I have written a review. We have visited many fascinating historical places and wineries in Tuscany with Franco Ceccato, not just Siena and San Gimignano. He and his company are extremely reliable and strive to take you to the most beautiful, unique, and interesting locations. It is most relaxing to have Tuscany Private Tours transport you in your travel, for you do not have to worry about driving, traffic, parking, or tolls. I highly recommend their services, and my husband and I will definitely be back with Franco again next year!

Staying cool in the heat of summer
We had a fantastic day in early August with our driver, Pasquale! I had considered renting a car to drive to Siena and San Gimignano, but I'm so glad that I chose to hire this private driver instead. Pasquale picked us up from our hotel in Florence in a beautiful, air conditioned van (an important feature in the summer). As we drove towards Siena, we talked through the details of the day, and Pasquale adjusted our itinerary after hearing more about our family. My kids needed more action than his typical clientele (retirees), so he suggested that we stop in Monteriggioni. They have an armor museum where we could try on various types of armor and hold swords and crossbows. It was a hit! From there, we went to Siena where Pasquale dropped us right in front of the Siena Cathedral. He gave us a map and a suggested walking route to our pickup point. On a hot day in the summer, it was really nice to not waste any time on parking. Afterwards, we drove to San Gimignano. Pasquale gave us some good tips on where to go and how to meet him on the other side of the village for pickup. We had a little bit of time left over, so Pasquale drove us to Piazzale Michelangelo for a nice view of Florence. Heading into the day, I was nervous that we would be too hot, my kids wouldn't want to walk through the hilly towns, and we would have to cut the day short. Instead, the van's AC kept us cool, Pasquale dropped us right in the middle of what we wanted to see, and the kids were engaged for the whole day. I couldn't be happier!

Five star service!
My husband booked this tour with Franco based on the reviews on trip advisor and I have to say we were blown away! My husband and I were with our two kids and Franco booked a private wine tour in Monte Carlo with a small winery that spoke very highly of his services. He knew our son was Celiac (gluten free) and he made sure that he would be taken care of at the winery. (The owner’s son also is gluten free) Franco was very knowledgeable about the area and kept the kids attention as well as ours. After traveling with different services in Paris and Tuscany, Franco was the best! My husband and I are already planning our next trip and if we come back to this area we will definitely be reaching out to Franco again! Thank you so much Franco! Xo

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano cost?
+
Prices start at $825 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano take?
+
Plan for about 8.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 8.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano?
+
pick up place is always in piazza della calza 2- Florence, right at the arch of Porta Romana- Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Exclusive Private tour To Siena and San Gimignano wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
