Vehicle and driver(speaking english driver 09 hours)
After meeting at the dock we will drive towards Siena trough the expressway and some of the picturesque Tuscan countryside. We will stop at Montegufoni Castle for a quick visit and to enjoy a unique view overlooking the typical gentle hills with vineyards and olive groves. We will reach the centre of Siena through the impressive Roman Gate and start to explore this masterpiece of Medieval Art and Architecture: Piazza del Campo with its particular slope shape where the famous horse race “Il Palio” take place.
The square is completely surrounded by beautiful palaces and dominated by the Torre del Mangia recently reopened to the public. The gothic Cathedral (Duomo) once considered the most important monument of Christianity with its treasures, and the emotion to walk trough the typical alleys and little squares sure to discover something interesting just behind the corner.
We will then approach S.Gimignano through a dirt road from where you can admire a unique panorama of this “Medieval Manhattan” and take the best photographs of its towers. Your walking tour will start from S.Giovanni Gate and continue through the only main street with historical palaces, churches and typical little shops offering leather & pottery goods together with local products. Finally we will drive back to the ship.
The advantages of this type of private service unlike tours organized by bus is the fact that you can reach all places of interest by car very quickly without wasting time on exhausting and long walks, for obvious reasons buses have not access to many places of historical center, often only have 2 mandatory stops.
