Overview
Trade the 4-hour bus ride for a 90-minute dash on the rails. Your journey begins at Termini Station with host assistance for a quick 90-minute ride to Florence. Upon arrival, a local expert leads you through the city’s history, unveiling the secrets of the Medici family while passing the Duomo, Brunelleschi’s Dome, and the "Gates of Paradise." In Piazza della Signoria, admire the replica of Michelangelo’s David before heading into the heart of Tuscany. Relax in a luxury van as you cruise through rolling hills to a family-run winery overlooking San Gimignano. Enjoy an intimate tasting of prized wines paired with local meats and cheeses, followed by a light lunch. Your getaway concludes with free time in medieval San Gimignano, famous for its historic towers and artisanal shops, before returning to Florence for your high-speed train back to Rome.
