Siena & San Gimignano tour

Full description of the tour

Enjoy a tour of two of Tuscany’s most famous hill towns, Siena and San Gimignano.

An English-speaking tour driver will be waiting for you at the Pier in Livorno Port, to start your shore excursion to Siena and San Gimignano

After driving through the idyllic countryside, you’ll arrive in Siena, the Gothic city, where your tour driver will introduce you to this fascinating city.

Wandering through the back-streets of Siena, you’ll soon be captivated by its history and culture.

Next, you will visit the magnificent Cathedral of Siena, and its significant library, Piazza del Campo, where we’ll enjoy a stroll through the Jewish Ghetto and talk of the famous Paliohorse race that takes place here every year.

Discover Castellare degli Ugurgieri, a castle within a castle, and walk along some of Siena’s most elegant streets.

For lunch, your English-speaking tour driver will be happy to suggest a few local restaurants where you can taste the local “Tuscan” cuisine, accompanied by local wines.

After a scenic drive, we’ll arrive at the hill town of San Gimignano, whose medieval walls and narrow streets are typical of Tuscan hill towns. Today, fourteen towers remain, reminding us of the Guelph and Ghibelline rivalry that caused a civil war between the families and citizens of San Gimignano.

In the afternoon, you’ll return to your ship to complete your shore excursion from Livorno.
