Meet your guide in front of the church of San Domenico in Siena at 9:30am, easy to find even if you are arriving from out of town with your own car, as there is parking in the vicinity.
Cantinetta di Monteriggioni
Travel north into the first Chianti hills and take a walk around Monteriggioni, a medieval and perfectly preserved fortress with a complete ring of city walls and turrets built in the 13th century and mentioned by Dante in his Divine Comedy: this was once Siena’s main bastion of defense against the armies of Florence. Enjoy its quiet and charming atmosphere browsing the alleys and shops of local crafts and products, or lighting a candle in the local church as the pilgrim's once did.

5.00William was a great tour guide/driver. Our group of 6 from US, India and Australia. We got along very well. We all were on time at every stop. Great itinerary, lunch was delicious, tour guide gave history not only of Italy but of Monteriggioni, San Gimignano as well as Voltera. We recommend the tour and especially William!
