Trip Itinerary
1
Florence
Day 1
On the first day, we will all meet at the Florence airport, where I will directly pick you up by car at Arrivals. We will leave around 1 PM, so it will be necessary to arrive on the morning of May 25. In case of flight delays or delayed bookings, we will meet directly in downtown Florence (we will decide on the specific location at the time). On this first half-day, we will explore the city center and its wonders. Such as Florence Cathedral, Piazza della Signoria, the Porcellino Fountain, Ponte Vecchio and the Lungarno, Santa Maria Novella and its fantastic secret pharmacy.

Castellina in Chianti
Day 1-4
Located between the influential and powerful Renaissance city par excellence -Florence- and Siena, Castellina presents itself as the ideal place for those visiting Tuscany for the first time and wishing to explore the Chianti area and its wonders and will, therefore, be our home for these three nights. The small town dispersed in the Tuscan hills will give us a unique overnight stay, far from the tourist chaos and in the heart of the real Tuscany.
3
Pisa
Day 4
Leaving early in the morning, after a journey of about 2 hours, we will reach Piazza dei Miracoli (“the square of miracles”), in Pisa, where we will lose ourselves in the unparalleled atmosphere of this place and where we can visit the Cathedral and climb the very famous tower, admiring the breathtaking view of the city.
4
Lucca
Day 4
Immediately afterward, we will move to a city less famous to the international public, Lucca. Here, we will be able to visit the ancient walls, now used as an elevated promenade encircling the entire city, the Guinigi Tower, with its green hair at the top, and the ever-present Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, which is astonishing in shape.
Lucca is outstanding for its huge oval square of Roman origin, for the walls that totally surround it (the walls, lost their military importance, became a pedestrian promenade, today one of Lucca's main attractions), and for the Guinigi Tower, 44.25 meters high, the top of which is a hanging garden where large, now centuries-old holm oaks have been planted. If we have time, it will also be possible to make a quick escape to the Devil's Bridge, the legend of which says that the bridge was built by St. Giuliano who, unable to complete it because it was too difficult, asked the devil himself for help, promising him in return the soul of the first living being to pass over it.
5
San Gimignano
Day 4
The next day, we will start our morning with an adventure back in time, getting lost in the beautiful village of San Gimignano, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perched on a hill in the Tuscan countryside, it offers breathtaking views and strolls through the past. The ancient city will catapult us back in time, amid its centuries-old walls, moats and towers.
6
Greve in Chianti
Day 4
Then, in the afternoon, we will have one of the unmissable Chianti experiences, as we will visit one of the most famous wineries in the area, Viticcio, where we will treat ourselves to a full tour of the cellars, tasting of 3 wines paired with our extra virgin olive oil, Tuscan bread, Tuscan cured meats, cheese with honey and mustard, 3 different types of bruschetta.
7
Florence
Day 4
On the last morning, for the ones who will leave in the afternoon, it will be possible to explore the city a little bit more, making room for less famous monuments such as the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens. For departures, we will make an initial stop at 8:30 AM at Santa Maria Novella Station (where you'll be able to take the Volainbus shuttle bus) for those taking flights in the morning; for everyone else, I will bring you back to the airport by 1 PM at the Departures gate. PLEASE NOTE: It will therefore be important not to book flights before 10 a.m. on May 28, otherwise you will not be able to get to the airport on time.
