Description
This is one of the best Chianti tours: an incredible experience surrounded by the beauty and history of Tuscany! Spend a day on the Chianti roads, along the old Via Francigena (“Francigena Way”), which Charlemagne and the Crusaders traveled. The “Via Francigena” is one of Europe's oldest and most popular pilgrim itineraries, with its 3200 km from Canterbury to Rome. We’ll visit three important stops in Tuscany: San Gimignano, Siena and Monteriggioni Castle.
A fantastic experience travelling between the Chianti hills and the wonderful city of Siena, San Gimignano (famous in all the world for its Medieval Towers) and Monteriggioni Castle (An outpost built by the Republic of Siena and a strategic point of control of passages on the Via Francigena). With a delicious lunch and wine tastings on two typical Tuscan farms. Our drivers-guide will offer you tours in a confortable Mercedes Minivan, accompanying you through the beautiful hills and picturesque villages, showing you the most interesting places and the extraordinary work of expert craftsmen. Along the way, you can taste renowned wines and other typical products like homemade pasta, extra virgin olive oil, Sienese sweets, Pecorino cheeses, balsamic vinegar, and truffles.
