So you don't want to worrying about luggage, taxis or booking train tickets? No problem! Instead of taking the train or even a non stop transfer transfer with a simple driver, consider taking advantage of our TRANSFER TO YOUR NEXT DESTINATION WITH DAY TRIP - “Door to Door” services! This service is for those who wish to go from one city to another and prefer to explore the surrounding regions and turn their private transfer into an adventure! After all, it is not just the destination that is important but the also the journey!
With our driver guides, all of whom speak excellent English you will enjoy the panoramas throughout the countryside and about mid way through your travel you will stop in a destination and you can choose how you will spend your time with the assistance of the driver guide whom will give you general information about the area. Options vary depending on your route but usually you can choose from simple free time for site seeing or shopping, taking a short local tours on some routes, and of course time enough for lunch where you prefer. Your driver guide will be happy to give you the best suggestions for lunch depending on your personal tastes and budget.
This journey is arranged with about half of the time for travel and half for stopping. In case arriving without stops is more for you then be sure to look for our TRANSFERS DIRECT - NONSTOP and ONE-WAY for the fastest journey from one accommodation to another. If you don`t see the cities you need to transfer between, just let us know and we can tailor a transfer that suites your needs.
You will be picked up from your starting accommodation first thing in the morning in a comfortable late model Mercedes and you will arrive in Florence by about 5:00pm and in between is where the magic happens:
We will head towards the beautiful medieval town of San Gimignano, famous for its stone towers and you will have time for a stroll and to enjoy the village. Then we will drive you through the hills of Chianti Classico and you will reach a well-rated winery where the winemakers will welcome you to visit the historical cellars, introducing the production methods of the famous Chianti Classico.
Unless you tell us otherwise, we will book in advance for you to enjoy a tasty (non-touristic) homemade light lunch with antipasti which is a platter of cold cuts, cheeses and bruschetta, a delicious first course of pasta, a side dish and last but not least, a typical dessert. Each dish will be paired with the correct wine (vegetarian, gluten-free, allergy menu options are available on request). During the trip, your driver will give you some information about the history and characteristics of our wines, entertaining you with curious stories and anecdotes of our land. Your driver will be available for any questions and to share the true Tuscany and its heart, Chianti. You will be dropped off at your B&B or hotel in Florence at the end of the day.
*Depending on vineyard visited on your date the Lunch and wine tasting options may vary and are not included in the cost of the day. Please plan on approximately 70 Euros on the day of the tour per adult which includes the light lunch, wine pairing and cellar tour.
*If you do not wish to have the Light lunch and wine pairing at the vineyard please notify us on booking that you would prefer a trattoria instead as we must book well in advance.
We will need to know your traveling cell phone number, hotel address and phone number. We will also need to know how many are in your party and if you will have excessive amounts of luggage. This will help us accurately quote your service and send the correct size vehicle.
*If you are bringing more than one medium to large bag and one small carry on per person please notify us so that we can assess what size of vehicle we will need to send you and this may affect the pricing. If you have 6 or more people in your party we will need to discuss how much luggage you will have.
Our driver will be waiting in your lobby with a sign that bears your name at the time that you scheduled or at the street level of your apartment or B&B.
