The tour has been designed for guests who have already seen the famous attractions and beauties of Florence and Siena and are looking for a truly wonderful and exceptional excursion.
Your driver guide will meet you at your cruise ship in Livorno. Only one hour and half to reach the medieval village of San Gimignano, passing through the most wonderful Tuscan countryside. The rolling slopes are covered with vineyards and silvery green olive grows, like a picture. Only this spectacle would be more than enough to enjoy this tour! Fortified walls and watchtowers show power and prosperity in the Middle Ages. Only thirteen of the town's original 76 towers remain. Enjoy your time to stroll the narrow cobbled streets taking San Gimignano's sights, Piazza della Cisterna, the Collegiata in Piazza del Duomo, a Romanesque cathedral.
From San Gimignano half an hour and the driver will park in the center of Volterra. The Etruscans town sits on a rocky plateau and is protected by medieval ramparts. Takes a tour in the Piazza dei Priori, one of Italy's most impressive squares and visit the Etruscan Museum, known all over the world.
Included in the tour we will offer you a short stop at Monteriggioni Castle, the most majestic and powerful castle of the Italian Middle Age. In fact, due to the type of its fortification, Monteriggioni remained an invincible fortress for three centuries. From the time of its construction in 1213, it resisted every siege, thus ensuring freedom to the Republic of Siena until 1554 when, without any battle, was conquered by the Florentines and that because of a betrayal only!
