Cut travel time to Florence in half by high-speed train and make the most of an unforgettable day exploring the cradle of the Renaissance and home to artistic geniuses such as Michelangelo, Dante, da Vinci, Machiavelli, and Galileo.

Your expert local guide will unveil the great beauty of Florence and its famous landmarks including the Duomo, Brunelleschi's Dome, the Vasari Corridor, Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria- the political heart of Florence where an exact replica of Michelangelo's statue of David stands.

What makes this tour truly unique? After the Florence walking tour, travel to a family-run Tuscan winery for an unforgettably intimate wine and food experience. Five wines will be paired with local cured meats, cheeses, breads, and extra virgin olive oil produced on the grounds. Enjoy a light lunch followed by free time in San Gimignano before returning to Florence in time for your return train to Rome.
