What to Expect

We offer a private Mercedes Minivan and an English-speaking driver, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience throughout the day. Your driver will be waiting in your hotel lobby or at a convenient meeting point, holding a sign with your name.

Leave the city of Siena behind and enter a landscape that feels untouched — where rolling hills, open fields, and quiet country roads lead you into a deeper and more authentic side of Tuscany.

Your day unfolds between Monteriggioni and Volterra, two places that reveal very different souls of this region.

Encircled by perfectly preserved medieval walls and towers, Monteriggioni feels almost suspended in time. As you step inside, the atmosphere is simple and quiet — stone streets, a small central piazza, and a rhythm of life that has barely changed over the centuries.

There are no grand monuments here — only the beauty of simplicity.

You may find a small café open, locals sitting quietly, or a glass of wine being poured without ceremony. It is a place to slow down, walk without purpose, and simply absorb the feeling of a village that still lives as it once did.

In contrast, Volterra reveals a deeper and more powerful identity.

Perched high above the surrounding countryside, this ancient town carries layers of Etruscan, Roman, and medieval history within its walls. Its streets feel more raw, more authentic, and less polished — offering a glimpse into a Tuscany that remains strongly rooted in its past.

As you explore, you will pass through narrow alleys, ancient stone buildings, and artisan workshops where alabaster — the town’s signature craft — is still shaped by hand.

Small shops, local life, and quiet corners give Volterra a strong, distinctive character.

From the edges of the town, the views open dramatically across the countryside — wide, wild, and unforgettable.

During the day, you will stop at a local winery, often family-owned and set in a peaceful countryside location.

Wine tasting here is relaxed and genuine — where each glass reflects the land, the season, and the tradition behind it.

You will also enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch, served in a quiet countryside setting where simple dishes, local ingredients, and regional wines come together naturally.

A table, a view, and time to enjoy it.

Throughout the day, your experience remains flexible, allowing you to explore at your own pace and fully enjoy each moment — whether in the villages, at the winery, or along the scenic drive.

Because Tuscany is not just something to see.

It is something to feel.

At the end of your experience, relax on the drive back to Siena, taking with you the feeling of having discovered a more authentic and timeless side of Tuscany.
