Everything within a coach ride of Santa Maria Novella, in one list. The 15 below sort the hill towns, the vineyards and the coast by what they cost, how long the day runs and how much of it is spent moving.
Review of a full-day Tuscany tour from Florence, visiting Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, and a Chianti winery lunch.
“We had so much fun! Alex and Sergio were amazing. The fun facts throughout the tour from Alex were informative. I fell in love with Italy even more than I already have. Definitely recommend this tour.”
Taste six Chianti wines at two Tuscan estates, with olive oil, local foods, scenic hills, and a friendly small-group ride from Florence.
“Beautiful day out! Both wineries were stunning and we learnt heaps. Got given 4 glasses at each winery. Better to book the tour in second half of the day as you see sunset over the wineries which is incredible!”
Taste six Tuscan wines, olive oils, and local snacks at two Chianti estates on a relaxed half-day trip from Florence.

See Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, and Chianti in one long, food-filled day from Florence, with a Siena guide, cathedral visit, lunch, and wine tasting.

Spend a full day in Chianti with three organic wineries, Tuscan lunch, olive oil tastings, Greve, and scenic drives from Florence.
“The tour provider was Prestige Rent. Violeta, tour guide, and Francesco, driver, were both very friendly and enhanced my experience of the tour. They both were awesome. The wineries selected were excellent. Our treatment at each one of them was top notch. The scenery of Tuscany is hard to put into words. Saying it’s incredibly beautiful almost doesn’t completely describe it well enough. It must be seen with your own eyes. Thank you for a wonderful lasting memory!”
Cycle through Chianti from Florence, stop at a medieval castle for wine, olive oil, and lunch, with guides, transport, and support included.
“We had really a fun time. Right from the start the happy enthusiastic vibe from the staff set the vibe for the day. Angus was our guide on the bike and had lots of interesting information and kept us safe. Really appreciated that he was able to take photos for us as my phone died at the beginning. The ride has lots of scenic views across the rolling countryside and is 90% either flat or downhill. There is a “challenging” short hill that some may prefer to take the sag wagon on offer but the gearing on the bikes are very suited to the steepness. In general the bike worked…”

See Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, and the Chianti hills in one long day from Florence, with guided walks, Tuscan lunch, and wine tasting.
“This is for visitors who want to cover as much ground as you can. Sight seeing, have a break, that’s it, as it is a packed itinerary. It was a good chance to see as much of Tuscany as a day trip permits.”

Explore Tuscany from Florence with medieval villages, a hands-on cooking class, Tuscan lunch, wine tastings, and free time.
“This was an incredible experience for my husband and me. Marco was very nice, knowledgeable, upbeat, fun and friendly. What’s great about it is you visit these different areas and you are on your own for a good amount of time (1-2 hours) which is REALLY nice to just explore. Things to keep in mind: Be on time, it’s a LONG day (that is very clear given the duration stated on the tour when booking it), must wear your most comfortable shoes, be prepared to walk on very steep areas to fully explore the city given the allotted time, be cognizant of weather/climate since it will vary from city to…”
Ride a vintage Vespa from Florence into the Tuscan hills for castle views, olive groves, prosciutto, cheese, and Chianti.
“Excellent tour in Florence!! This is meant for experienced motor bikers, but everyone was accommodated for alternative options (Co-riding other Vespa drivers or driving a new 2 seater EV Fiat) Fabio and Alex were amazing. Proving us an entertaining tour, they truly care about your safety. The dining and drinking experience was spectacular. Thank you so much!!!”

“The trip was a great way to see other parts of Tuscany. Pros: -Great guide in Siena (Chiara) -Comfortable air conditioned bus -Some audio commentary in bus, not a lot but nice to learn -Lunch and wine tasting was good (requested vegetarian, pasta not extraordinary but was decent and rest was quite good) -Guide was attentive and helpful when we asked questions Cons: -Bus parked far from stops so lots of walking, and sometimes uphill, and guide walked quite fast -Not a fault of the tour company, but it was very hot and with all the walking the day was very tiring. We were on this trip in August, so…”
