About this experience
BusVia Firenze invites you to explore the true essence of Tuscany, blending art, history, and the pleasures of wine and food. We will accompany you to San Gimignano, often referred to as the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages" due to its numerous towers punctuating the skyline. Here, you can savor the finest Tuscan wines paired with light lunch. The journey continues through the Tuscan countryside to Siena, where your experience begins with a visit to this charming town, renowned as the capital of Gothic art. In Siena, with a skip-the-line ticket you will enter in the splendid Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, with an audio guide on your phone.

The transportation was...
The transportation was nice and the tour guide was helpful in answering our questions. It was not a guided tour, though. The lunch at the winery was just OK, and no one explained the wines to us or gave us any info really. If I could go back, I would book transportation only and eat lunch on our own.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the transport and found our guide helpful. However, we are sorry that the winery lunch did not meet your expectations and lacked wine explanations. We aim to offer complete and engaging experiences, so we will discuss your notes with the venue to improve. We hope to welcome you again for a better trip!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that you had a lovely time exploring these beautiful locations with us. We appreciate your note regarding the group size, as it helps us keep improving our organization and guest comfort. Your support means a lot to our team, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another great trip!

Sarah, our guide, was...
Sarah, our guide, was excellent. She provided history of the region in three languages, was personable, helpful and accompanied us on the highlights of each destination. Giovanni, our driver, was wonderful as well. Great sense of humor, excellent driver, wonderful host. The destinations spoke for themselves, reflecting their own beauty. Would highly recommend the tour.

Day tripping
Well thought out tour. Plenty of information and time to see everything. We had the wine with meats and cheese tasting. Delicious! Siena had lots of hills! Wear good shoes for walking. A very good day.

Intro to two beautiful towns
A nice introduction to Siena and San Gimignano. We had the option to be guided around or explore on our own. We loved having free time to see what piqued our interests.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence: San Gimignano & Siena Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence: San Gimignano & Siena Tasting Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Florence: San Gimignano & Siena Tasting Experience take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Florence: San Gimignano & Siena Tasting Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 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 Florence: San Gimignano & Siena Tasting Experience?
+
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 Florence: San Gimignano & Siena Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence: San Gimignano & Siena Tasting Experience?
+
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence: San Gimignano & Siena Tasting Experience 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 Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. 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.
