Step Into the Soul of Tuscany: A Full-Day Wine & Culture Journey
Leave the bustle of Florence behind and set off on an unforgettable day trip deep into the heart of Tuscany, where time seems to slow down and every hilltop town tells a story. This carefully curated experience takes you through the rolling vineyards of Chianti, the medieval magic of Siena, and the timeless charm of San Gimignano.
Wander Through Siena’s Storied Streets
Your adventure begins in the enchanting town of Siena, a place where history whispers from every stone. Meander through its labyrinth of narrow alleys, soak in the atmosphere of the famous Piazza del Campo—home to the legendary Palio horse race—and stand in awe before the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, a Gothic masterpiece brimming with centuries of artistry and devotion.
Taste Tuscany: Wine, Food, and Tradition
From Siena, we journey into the sun-drenched hills of Chianti, the beating heart of Tuscan wine country. Here, amid vineyards that stretch to the horizon, you'll be welcomed to a traditional estate for a relaxing lunch and exclusive wine tasting. Savor the flavors of authentic Tuscan cuisine paired with world-class wines like Chianti Classico. Tour the wine cellars, learn the secrets of the winemaking process, and enjoy the warm hospitality of the countryside.
Discover the Towers of San Gimignano
Our final destination is San Gimignano, the “Medieval Manhattan” of Tuscany, famous for its skyline of ancient towers. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this hilltop village invites you to step back in time as you explore its cobbled lanes, artisan boutiques, and postcard-perfect piazzas. And yes—make time to indulge in what many say is the best gelato in all of Italy.
Getting There
Your journey begins in Florence at Duomo Square, by the Colonna San Zanobi near the Baptistery of San Giovanni. Our friendly team will greet you before boarding a comfortable coach for a scenic ride through the Chianti countryside, complete with fascinating commentary along the way.
Small Group, Big Experience
With a maximum of 30 travelers, this intimate group tour offers a more personal connection to the land, its people, and its stories. By the end of the day, you’ll return to where it all began—back at Duomo Square in Florence—but you’ll carry the spirit of Tuscany with you long after the journey ends.

The story of Anne Frank is known around the world thanks to her diary describing the period that she, her family and 4 others spent in a secret and hiding from Amsterdam’s German occupiers. This tour goes beyond that and will tell you about her time before and after; as a complete story of her life.
Because of many movies, theatre plays and books, the part of her life in hiding in the hidden Annex is very well known. Less known is her life as a young girl that moved from Frankfurt am Main. This happened because of the upcoming anti-Semitism. Her father, Otto Frank, moved his family to the (what he believed to be) safe Amsterdam. They arrived in 1933 and settled on the square Merwedeplein. Anne Frank spent her happiest moments at this square and its surroundings.
During this walking tour we will take you back to the places that were important to Anne Frank in her childhood. We show you where she went to school and the bookshop where she bought her famous diary. Explore the area where she played outside and discover the house where Otto Frank’s secretary and most important helper; Miep Gies lived for many years. Miep Gies handed the diary over to Otto Frank after the war. She also saved a number of the family’s personal belongings after the Germans raided the house.
Otto Frank was reluctant to publish the diary a first, but when he read in the diary that it was his daughter’s wish to publish it, he allowed to publish the diary in June 1947.
The tour takes place in the south of Amsterdam, where you will have the opportunity to become acquainted with an area of the city that you would otherwise not see as a tourist. This area was constructed in the 1920-30ties and was based on revolutionary ideas of city planning, architecture and social housing.
THIS TOUR DOES NOT VISIT THE ANNE FRANK HOUSE IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY

We had a great experience on our trip in London. From there we did day trip excursions to various locations in England. These tours were are a bit rushed but overall very pleased. The only thing that was tricky was the tour does not bring us back to the original starting point that was walkable back to our hotel. It would be helpful to plan for this and the extra cost for the cab back to our hotel.
Also, one of the day tours was cancelled but they let us know right away and offered to reschedule. The Claremont hotel in London was fantastic.Location, concierge, breakfast bar and room were an A+ experience and would highly recommend. Michael was very available to help plan the trip and respond to my questions. I would use this tour company again in the future.
Our family of 5 adults recently went to Italy on a 9 day trip to Venice, Rome and Sorrento(Amalfi Coast) with private tours, fast train travel, door to door drivers, and great accommodations; which was all set up by Michael.
Michael was very responsive to my communications, very helpful with trip suggestions to make the trip better, and just overall a great travel planner! I was nervous at first, because I have never completely booked a vacation online without ever meeting the travel planner, but it all worked out great!
We were completely happy with everything about our trip, and will definitely reach out to Michael again when we travel to Italy! There were a couple of small issues that arose over the duration of the trip, but they were handled quickly and without further problem to us. So all was good.
Our private tour guides in Rome, Ornella; and Roberta in Pompeii were incredible. Our Venice tour guide, Cynthia, was awesome too, she did a great job! We did a full day 8 hr tour in Rome of the Colosseum and Vatican, and I would recommend splitting that to two half days if you have the time. It was awesome, but a bit much for one day!! Also, we had a full day Amalfi Coast tour by van, with great driver Antonio, which was supposed to go to Positano, Amalfi, & Ravello, but because the traffic is so bad on the roads, there wasn't time to make it to Ravello. So, I recommend either going by boat, which we hear is faster, or allow more time if you want to see all three villages.
Again, a great trip for the memory books! Thank you MIchael and all of the local operators who worked to make our trip such a success!!
