Tourist attraction
Ponte Vecchio

The bridge consists of three arches and was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi, replacing older versions from Roman times. Long ago, butcher shops lined the bridge, but the Medici family replaced all the shops with wooden shutters, goldsmiths, and jewelers to clean up the area.
As you explore, look up to see the Vasari Corridor, a secret walkway the Medici used to move between Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. In World War II, it was the only bridge the Nazis didn’t destroy. In the middle, you’ll find a statue of Benvenuto Cellini, where you can leave a love lock like many tourists do—another reason to experience the charm of the Ponte Vecchio for yourself.

Exceptional Value & a Stress-Free Way to See Tuscany!
This tour is incredible value for money! We managed to see so many beautiful places—Siena, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, and the Chianti Wine Region—all in a single day, plus we got to enjoy a wonderful winery tasting experience.
We had originally planned to rent a car and do a road trip ourselves, but taking this tour completely saved us from the stress of driving, navigating, and parking in Italy. It was the best decision we could have made.
A huge, special thank you goes to our guide, Alex. He was incredibly energetic, helpful, and friendly. His amazing energy truly brightened up the entire trip and made the day so much fun! We also want to thank our driver, Patrick, for navigating the roads and driving us around safely all day.

This was a lovely way to spend an afternoon when visiting Florence. The meeting point is at the Visitor Sightseeing desk at the main train station. From there, a tour guide will scan your ticket, give you a wrist bracelet, and escort you to the bus parking lot. Note that it is a 15 minute walk from the train station to the bus parking lot. Once on the bus, it is a 1 hour drive south to the Poggio ai Laghi winery near the fort town of Monteriggioni.
The tasting of 7 wines -- including whites, reds, and sparkling -- is hosted by an expert sommelier. The tasting session lasts over an hour and is accompanied by local cured meats, cheese, olive oil, and bread. We had great conversation at our table with fellow travellers and wine enthusiasts. Afterwards, there is time to take pictures in the courtyard before boarding the bus for the ride back to Florence.
Note that after your tasting session, you will likely be taken aside and 'sold' on buying bottles to take home.

This was a great tour and we had a great day of tasting wine and olive oils and being fed at beautiful wineries throughout the Tuscan area. We got to stop and visit the toe of Imprugneta and have moments to take pics here and there which was super nice. Enjoyed the variety of wines featured in the tastings. Our guide Chiara was lovely and friendly, giving us lots of info on the area and topic of wine. We were in a luxury van for transportation which was comfortable and were in a small group with a couple so it was intimate which was nice. I am glad I booked this tour and would highly recommend it to others.

Trip is excellent and convenient. We went to Siena, San Gimignano, Vineyard and Pisa. Thoses towns are so beautiful. Vineyard came with lunch and wine tasting. Totally recommended! Pisa is nice but we didn’t have much time to explore much. Be prepare that they don’t have much toilets. We had to go to cafe and purchased drinks. Public toilets are not available much.

Our guide was Gabriele and bus driver was Gabriel. The guide is english speaking and friendly. He share quite a number of tips at each location as well. Do note that the itinerary flows like this, bus to first area, then train to different part of the attraction in the first area. Then back to first area stop and bus to second area then back to Florence. Also note that if you don’t want to walk during Pisa visit, you can pay $3 per person per direction to reach there from the bus stopping area to Pisa and vice versa.
