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 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 11:00am 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. Enjoy the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, one of the most beautiful in Italy which is the collaborative creation of many artists throughout the centuries. You will see works by the greats such as Pinturrichio, Raphael, Bernini and Donatello. For those not faint of heart, you may want to stop in and visit the Torture Museum. For the adventurous traveler, you may opt to climb the tower, Torre del Mangia, for amazing panoramic views of the city and countryside.
Depending on your tastes and budget your driver guide is happy to provide suggestions for lunch and we try to suggest that you try local family run establishments such as enoteca's, small trattoria's or can even provide you a good suggestion for "panini" if that is more your style. You will have 3.5 hours of free time and following lunch we will pick you at the meeting discussed you have set up with your driver guide to start back out on the road again to arrive at your destination by about 3:30 p.m.
