Montalcino and Siena Full Day Tour

After a picturesque journey through the Chianti countryside, we will reach Montalcino, where you will walk to the foot of the fourteenth-century Fortress, marking the entrance to the historic center. You will have free time to uncover the village’s hidden gems and create cherished memories of this remarkable land. In the surrounding countryside of Montalcino, you will find numerous wineries where you can indulge in tasting the famous “Brunello” and “Rosso” wines of the region. We can recommend unforgettable farmhouses for you to visit and explore. Following a leisurely lunch break, we will continue to Siena, a powerful city-state that flourished as a significant cultural and artistic center during the Roman and Renaissance eras. Amidst narrow alleys and noble palaces, atop the highest of Siena’s three hills, we suggest embarking on a pleasant walk starting from Salimbeni Square, where you will find the oldest bank in Europe, Monte dei Paschi di Siena. Shortly thereafter, you will encounter the majestic Siena Cathedral, an awe-inspiring example of Italian Gothic architecture. Additionally, make sure not to miss Piazza del Campo, one of the most renowned squares in the world, famous for its distinctive shell shape and remarkable artistic and architectural beauty. Piazza del Campo is also the site of the historic horse race competition known as the “Palio,” which takes place twice a year. At the conclusion of the tour, your personal driver will transport you back to your original location.
