Do yourself a favor and spring for this private tour
Honestly I don't even know where to start. This was the best tour in the several done across Italia over a few weeks. I will start with Alaa our driver. Super friendly, super helpful, and an amazing driver. He drives efficiently and safely. He told us that we were crazy for trying to see so much in one day, but thanks to his driving we got everywhere safely and efficiently and NEVER felt rushed anywhere. Ok on to the tours. The stop in Pisa was great. Having a tour guide was really helpful for history, context, and of course skipping the line. Many people looked lost after their online audio tours ran out of content. The large groups looked uncomfortable because there are so many people all around. It was great to get the history and ask all questions without being rushed. The vineyard tour: may have been the highlight in Tuscany. The wine tasting was outstanding. The lunch that accompanied the wine tasting was one of the best meals we had the entire time. And no that wasn't just the wine talking. Alaa said our trip was really designed for two days versus one, so the one thing I would've spent more time doing was touring the vineyard. But we had other stops. Our stop in Sienna was much more entertaining than I thought it would be. The neighborhoods in the province we visited were having a celebration, which added to the experience. The tour guide that met us in Sienna was very knowledgeable and helpful. I will stop here - this is a must do tour.
Response from the operator: "We feel honored to have guests like you!! Thank you for the time you've dedicated to us, and thank you for this splendid review from beginning to end. It's a significant reward for us to know that we managed to provide you with such a delightful experience and take care of you. We really hope to have you back with us again, we do have many more tours in different Tuscany areas which are well worth it! Again, thank you!! Our best regards ACCORD Team

A trip like no other else..
The tour was just okay. The worst part was the ride. My suggestion is, since this is a whole day tour, company should have provided a newer, more comfortable van. The ride was rough, you could feel all the irregularities of the road. It was hard for the back. Nonetheless, the driver was really nice and she even called for a taxi at the end of the trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Richard, thank you for leaving a review, every critique helps us improve our services and grow as a company. We will take your critique into account, however, our tours are more about the food and wine experiences, and the amazing scenary that Tuscany offers. Transportation is a complementary service, and surely an important one, but we tend to focus our energies more on the other components of the tour. That being said, all our vehicles are well taken care of, and very clean. We are glad that you still liked our driver and the experience as a whole. Thank you again for writing a review, we hope to see you back in Florence soon. Best regards, ACCORD Team

Lots to see
Lots of walking but worth it. Wish we had more time but understand that this tour was trying to squeeze all the activities. The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful through the whole experience!
Response from the operator: Dear Leo, thank you so much for your review! We are glad to read that you enjoyed our tour, and that you appreciated our tour guide. We hope that you will come back to visit our city and that you will want to use our services again! Kind regards, ACCORD Team

Nice but pricey for the value
The van was clean & comfortable & the driver was nice. But there was no commentary during the various drives to the cities and no real expectation setting for what was next. The guides in both Siena and Pisa were lovely and the tour is nice, but I think a more engaged driver/guide while traveling across Tuscany would have added a great deal. In short, I don’t think we gained much by doing a private tour versus a standard Tuscany tour that includes the same 3 towns.
Response from the operator: Dear Rupali, thank you for your four stars review. Every review and critique helps us improve and grow as a tour agency. We are glad that you enjoyed our tour and the cities of Pisa and Siena. We hope that if you come back to our beautiful city you will want to use our services again. Kind regards, Eugenia Rosini

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Florence to Siena - San Gimignano & Pisa by private minivan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does From Florence to Siena - San Gimignano & Pisa by private minivan cost?
+
Prices start at €179 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 From Florence to Siena - San Gimignano & Pisa by private minivan take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 From Florence to Siena - San Gimignano & Pisa by private minivan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 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 From Florence to Siena - San Gimignano & Pisa by private minivan?
+
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 From Florence to Siena - San Gimignano & Pisa by private minivan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Florence to Siena - San Gimignano & Pisa by private minivan?
+
Around 3 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Florence to Siena - San Gimignano & Pisa by private minivan 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.
