What You'll do in this tour
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 available to you throughout the day, 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.

Tour Description:
You will be picked up from your starting accommodation first thing in the morning in a comfortable late model Mercedes but will be happy to stop off for a cappuccino if you like along the way. You will arrive in Siena by about 10:30am and this will create the best flow for your day.
In Siena there are numerous "can't miss" sites including Piazza del Campo where the famous horse race, the “Palio”, takes place twice a year.
