    The Bell Tower, the View and the Glasses of Vino

    Off the bat, we went on this tour in early September, to give you an idea of how potentially there might be some differences in the look of the scenery and numbers of people in San Gimignano. Now, the good bit!!! Our driver, Massimo, was a really nice chap. Very friendly, spoke really good English and very funny. He was also very knowledgeable about the area we were in and the other surrounding areas. From Lucca, the drive to San Gimignano was apparently an hour or so, but it doesn't feel that long. You get to stop at a couple of places on the way for photos (we didn't have great weather but I think with the sun out, these photos would be 'canvas-worthy'!!) San Gimignano is a lovely place, with more chances to see the amazing Tuscan countryside and also plenty of shops etc., should you want to spend your 'hard-earned' there. You will find this out from your driver, but they love a bell tower there, and there is one that you can climb (though my wife and I had been up Torre Guinigi in Lucca the day before and presumed that it would be a similar experience (busy and confined at the top). I think on a sunny day, it would very much be worth the fight with the other tourists for the view/photos you could get, but just not for us. Side note, it is very, very busy and in the sunshine, I would think busier still The winery was something else!! Again, if it's not biblically raining, it would be AMAZING, but even through the wall of water, it was fantastic. Amazing buildings and surrounding area were just 'wow', though as we were leaving, someone from another group who had just arrived slipped over (due to the rain), so just be wary of that (I'm sure this isn't a frequent incident) Food was awesome and there was a decent amount (I'll not spoil the surprise), and you get 6-10 wines to try, depending on if you ask about any other wines on the list... The host left us with open bottles on the table, so you can top yourselves up, if the wine you like is there. Host and staff were really lovely and attentative, and always happy to help with anything. You can buy bottles to take there and then or arrange for them to be shipped. Just to warn, there are no £7.00 bottles of wine here, but you can get some around £30-£40 bottles, which we have bought for special occasions (as we're not necessarily big wine drinkers on a weekly basis). The trip back to Lucca was the same as the way there, though being a little 'lubricated' you might find that everyone is a bit more chatty. All in all, we had an amazing day and Massimo was a bit part of that. San Gimignano is another amazing place that we wouldn't have known about or seen, without this tour, so really pleased to have gone. Winery was AMAZING, and I guess you would only go on this tour if you like wine in the first place, so you will love it. I am jealous for you!!!

    Amazing trip.

    The experience was great. We had Emilia as our tour guide and she was incredible. So full of knowledge, insight and passion for the region - it was infectious. We loved our trip to San Gimingano, our only criticism is it wasn't enough time for us to do everything. Gorgeous little town that is well worth the visit for the incredible building, delicious ice cream, and stunning views of the Tuscan region. We then headed to the winery. Let me be clear, the "light lunch" was a full three course meal including tasting platter, lasagne and then a beef and vegetables dish. It was all delicious but way more than we expected, so don't fill up before hand. Then we had a relaxing trip back with a couple of more pointers about the region before returning to Lucca and home. A really great tour that went quick because of how enjoyable it was. Thank you Emilia!

    Great Stay at Lemon Tree Hotel, Baddi

    I stayed at Lemon Tree Hotel, Baddi from 6th to 7th September and had a wonderful experience. The staff was very polite, the room was neat and comfortable, and the food was tasty. The pool area was really great and relaxing. Overall, I am very happy with my stay. – Pardeep Kumar

    Fabulous Guide!

    This was a very good tour but the most excellence goes to our guide Massimo. He was informative, knowledgeable and fun. The long drive seemed shorter because of all the information he provided along the way. He even had exceptional information about the wines we tasted and how to best enjoy them. He made this experience much more than 5 stars for my husband and me.

    Well worth the money. Unforgettable

    Our guide Simona was very knowledgeable, warm and interactive and was able to answer any questions asked. We were given ample time to visit each site.

    San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca cost?

    +

    Prices start at $193 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca 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 Lucca is not rushed.

    Is San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca?

    +

    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 San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca 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 San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca?

    +

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

    Where does San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca 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 Lucca 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 Lucca?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by van, Lucca’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Lucca Bikes and Bites with food tastings for Small Groups or Private. 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 Lucca?

    +

    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 Lucca?

    +

    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 San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca?

    +

    Included: English Speaking Driver; Wine Tasting; Lunch; Olive Oil Tasting; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca?

    +

    Just outside the walls (Piazzale Umberto I). 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 San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Lucca?
