If you choose to see the Medieval Tuscany with us, after meeting you in front of your residence, we will take you with a short journey to the city of Siena. We can reach the heart of the city with our vehicle and you will visit the most important monuments independently. Your driver will also present you the local history and the most important traditions, such as food, since good cuisine is one of the most significant attractions. You'll have time for some shopping and memorable photos. You can choose to have lunch in Siena or into the Chianti hills to have lunch at a wine estate and taste home made Tuscan food paired with local wines. After lunch we will drive you to San Gimignano where, in addition to visiting the city, perhaps climbing up the “Torre Grossa” or entering the Cathedral, you can enjoy a magnificent ice cream. Once the day is over we will take you home while admiring the Tuscan countryside and its charm that will be a memory for a lifetime.

A trip worth doing
Our driver, Nick, picked us up on time in a clean and new Mercedes Van. The drive to Siena was informative, without overload. He provided keen insights and good recommendations. Our guide in Siena, Frederica, met us at the van; was engaged and friendly. She arranged for us to see a museum run by one of the Contrado and for us to have easy access to the Duomo - which was spectacular as the floors were completely exposed allowing us to see the 13th, 14th and 15th century carved stone floors.
Response from the operator: We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day in Siena and that both Nick and Federica contributed to making your experience so special. It is wonderful to know that Nick made your journey comfortable and enjoyable, sharing interesting insights and recommendations along the way. We are equally pleased that Federica's passion and expertise helped you discover the authentic charm of Siena, including the unique visit to a Contrada museum and the extraordinary opportunity to admire the magnificent floor of the Duomo in its entirety. Experiences like these truly showcase the rich history and traditions of Siena, and we are delighted that they became such memorable highlights of your visit. Thank you once again for choosing us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Tuscany for another unforgettable experience in the future. Ciao

A must-do experience!
Lorenzo was a phenomenal guide to the area as we drove through the Tuscan countryside on our way to Siena. The tour guide in Siena helped place the history and culture of the city in clear context. Lorenzo then a delicious lunch, explaining the local cuisine and helping us make menu choices. Continuing to San Gimignano, Lorenz helped us navigate our way through the town and set a place to meet up before returning to Florence. Lorenzo was very helpful in making adjustments to the day, accommodating our wishes and assisting with my mother-in-law’s wheelchair needs. Lorenzo provided us an incredible, memorable day. The tour company was also helpful in making a change to our plans when my MIL was able to join us on our vacation at the last minute. Communication with the office by email and Lorenzo by WhatsApp was both easy and helpful. I encourage you to spend a delightful day on this spectacular tour through Tuscany.

Siena and San Gimignano, The Glory Of Medieval Age In Tuscany: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.
How much does Siena and San Gimignano, The Glory Of Medieval Age In Tuscany cost?
+
Prices start at $434 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 Siena and San Gimignano, The Glory Of Medieval Age In Tuscany take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Siena and San Gimignano, The Glory Of Medieval Age In Tuscany worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Siena and San Gimignano, The Glory Of Medieval Age In Tuscany?
+
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 Siena and San Gimignano, The Glory Of Medieval Age In Tuscany suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Siena and San Gimignano, The Glory Of Medieval Age In Tuscany?
+
Around 5 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Siena and San Gimignano, The Glory Of Medieval Age In Tuscany 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.
