Tuscany Experience: where art meets history
Journey through the villages between Chianti and Siena to immerse yourself in a world of beauty and wine
Immerse yourself in a world of history and art, exploring the cobbled streets and ancient squares of the cities of Tuscany. With your private driver, set off from Florence into the typical Tuscan landscapes, as immortalised in famous Hollywood films. Visit Siena and plunge into mediaeval history, starting in the distinctive shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, famous for the Palio, the horse race that still sees the city's "contrade" neighbourhoods compete twice a year. Admire the Palazzo Pubblico, with its civic Gothic architecture; the Torre del Mangia; and the Cathedral, one of the greatest artistic expressions of the Middle Ages. Set off again towards Chianti and the fortified village of Monteriggioni, with its eleven-towered walls. Tantalise your taste buds at a country estate, enjoying a lunch of typical products and a selection of local wines. The next stop is San Gimignano, where you can stroll through the historic centre to discover Piazza della Cisterna, the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, the Palazzo del Podestà, and the Church of Sant'Agostino. Finally, head to Pisa and its Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the Leaning Tower, the Baptistery, the Cathedral and the Monumental Cemetery: beautiful examples of Romanesque architecture from the 12th and 13th centuries. As you wander through a labyrinth of emotions, wonders await around every corner.
