Day01
Arrival in Florence
Start your Italy travel in Renaissance Florence. After check-in, join a guided orientation walk to discover the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and Piazza della Signoria, plus hidden corners and local stories.
End the day with an authentic Italian aperitivo, sip Tuscan wine, and savor small plates in a cozy bar.
Day02
Free day in Florence
Spend a free day discovering Florence’s treasures. Marvel at masterpieces in the Uffizi and Accademia, stand before Michelangelo’s David, climb Giotto’s Bell Tower, or take in panoramic views from Piazzale Michelangelo. Many of the landmarks people revisit during a tour in Florence, though today you’re free to explore them your own way.
Stroll the Ponte Vecchio and sample Florence’s vibrant food scene from local trattorias to artisan workshops. Optional tours and experiences are available to match your interests.
Tips from Martina

Travel Expert
Climb the Tower of Palazzo Vecchio instead of the Duomo. The line’s shorter, the climb is easier, and you get a full view of the Duomo, something you won’t get when you're standing on it.
Day03
Tuscany tuk-tuk adventure and evening in San Gimignano
In the morning, travel by minivan into Chianti and explore vineyards on an intimate tuk tuk wine tour. Visit a family winery for guided tastings and sweeping countryside views that highlight this tailor-made Florence and Tuscany food and wine tour experience.
Transfer to your Chianti accommodation near San Gimignano. Spend the evening wandering its medieval streets, climbing towers for sunset, and dining at a local osteria for authentic Tuscan flavors.
Day04
Tuscan cooking class and return to Florence
Take a hands-on Tuscan cooking class with a local chef, mastering traditional recipes using fresh regional ingredients. Practice pasta, sauces, and dolci, and learn tasting notes on olive oil and local wines: core flavors that often headline an Italy food tour without defining your own experience here.
Enjoy the meal with a glass of Tuscan wine, then return to Florence by 5:00 PM.
