    WOW! 😍 A MUST DO

    WOW 😍🇮🇹🍒 🍷 a Truly wonderful day! Firstly our guide Keko was incredible he was friendly and knowledgeable. He shared so much wonderful knowledge of the area and he not only took time to answer our questions he was also interested in our own stories. Conversation flowed as we took in our surrounds. We took so much away from this experience. A little bit wiser and with bigger smiles and a bigger love for Italy. I can not recommend this experience enough. The walk was throughly enjoyable and at the end we were rewarded with beautiful wine tasting! Where the staff were also extremely friendly and informative. Thank you for such a wonderful day! This is truly a great way to spend a day in Siena 🇮🇹 Keko next time let’s walk more of the Francigena! Claire and Will - Melbourne, Australia.

    Brunello wine discoveries

    We spent a fabulous day with Georgia last Friday discovering the delights of small vineyards and the beautiful wine they produce. So many highlights in the day - the wine, the Tuscan scenery, delicious lunch under the olive trees next to the vineyard, I could go on! Thanks for a memorable day!

    Our private hiking tour through...

    <p>Our private hiking tour through Chianti Classico vineyards in Tuscany was everything we hoped for and more!!<br/> Silvia was an exceptional guide with tons of information about the area, the vineyards and the city of Siena, especially loved her recommendation for dinner!!<br/> The hike is a bit more strenuous than we expected but Silvia was very patient and we went at a comfortable pace... The scenery was beyond spectacular and lunch was Amazing!! Especially the Chianti!! <br/> Unfortunately we had a downpour during our time in San Gimignano but we still enjoyed the town.<br/> Highly recommend Tuscan Escapes!!!</p>

    This was quite simply a wonderful...

    <p>This was quite simply a wonderful day in the Tuscan countryside. We stayed in Siena for a number of nights but wanted to see the picture postcard landscape which is associated worldwide with Tuscany and we did just that. This trip gets you out among the vineyard and olive groves so you really experience the colours of Tuscany. There is really no one else about but you, your guide and every on often you come across someone working among the vines. The terracotta rooftops, the citrus trees and of course the poppies all help to leave you with images of Tuscany you will never forget. Our Guide Silivia was great and very attentive. She prepared a wonderful picnic after our walk which was a wonderful way to finish the day. Book this trip. I've read all the descriptions of the other trips on offer around the Siena area but this one is something different and does not disappoint.</p>

    Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.

    How much does Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena cost?

    +

    Prices start at $366 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Siena is not rushed.

    Is Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena?

    +

    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 Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena?

    +

    Around 2 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 Siena 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 Siena and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena 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 Siena 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 Siena?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Siena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Brunello di Montalcino Wine-Tasting Trip from Siena, Siena: A Wine Tour and Tasting Experience, Small-Group Montepulciano and Pienza Day Trip from Siena. 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 Siena?

    +

    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 Siena?

    +

    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 Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Transport by air-conditioned minivan (maximum 8 passengers); Private guide; Round-trip transportation from Siena to San Gimignano; and Farm lunch with wine. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 41 listed pickup locations in and around Siena. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Due to uneven surfaces, this tour is not recommended for those with walking difficulties. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Tour: Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena if the weather is bad?
