Un Tour Guidato de Tuscano - A Guided Tour of Tuscany

Today we had arranged for a 12-hour bus tour of Tuscany to include Siena, San Gimignano, the Chianti countryside and Pisa. What a great day we had! The sun came out beautifully by the time we reached Siena for our tour of that unique city. Later we enjoyed a video on the bus of the Palio horserace held there twice each year. We saw some truly Tuscan countryside as we continued on to our lunch venue, a winery farmhouse where they also produce olive oil and honey. Our typical Tuscan lunch was quite good and we tasted their wine specialities too. A short ride took us to "San Jimmy" and it was truly a photographer's paradise - you'll see when you look at the photos! Late afternoon found us in Pisa where we took in the classic Leaning Tower of Pisa in the "Field of Miracles". We were there until the sun went down behind the walls then it was back to Florence - arriving about 8:30 p.m. This was a highlight day of our Tuscan sojourn - enjoyed by all with memories to last a lifetime!
