What a beautiful time spent in Tuscany on this trip. This was a wonderful tour. Great accommodations! Fabulous wines and meals. We had a wonderful driver, Brando, who was patient and knowledgeable. This is a trip well worth it. Villa Lecchi was elegant and made us feel very special! Spectacular location in the heart of Chianti hills
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

The Via Degli Dei is a fantastic walk - 2 great Italian cities and stunning landscapes every day which made the tough climbs worthwhile. They dealt with everything once we arrived, the accommodation was good and varied which added to the appeal of the trip. It's helpful to have some basic Italian as a couple of places did not speak English but everyone was so friendly. Will use them again - we are already planning next year's trip!

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!!
I loved that we were able to visit so many amazing places in Northern Italy All portions of the tour were very organized and executed well and that made our days very productive and enjoyable.

Great itinerary with knowledgeable and responsible guides, comfy buses and premier hotels. No reason to complain at all. Sign up and NOT be disappointed. Kudos to Bookmundi.
It was an an amazing and unforgettable experience, from the guides want to mention: Antonio, Julio, Gaby and Mariano are very knowledgeable and professional and the organization, transportation, hotels, etc was excellent, I always felt safe.
