Quotes Logo The Tuscany Hiking Tour from Siena offers a memorable journey through the heart of the Tuscan countryside. This tour lets people step away from the busy city of Siena and walk on the Via Francigena, which is an old path that pilgrims used to take. It ends with tasting wine in Monteriggioni.

The adventure begins near the Siena train station where a guide leads the way along the Via Francigena. This 5-mile (8-km) walk goes through pretty places like castles, small towns, and vineyards. Along the way, walkers can see what life was like in Tuscany a long time ago. The tour then stops at Monteriggioni, a town with walls built in the Middle Ages. Here, everyone can relax and enjoy tasting different local organic wines.

The tour includes wine samples, a guide, and transport by air-conditioned minivan. It does not include hotel pickup and drop-off, gratuities, or extra food and drinks. The group is small, and the walk is good for people who are in good shape. This tour gives a close-up look at Tuscany's beautiful countryside and tasty wines. Quotes Logo
