Siena and Arezzo tour

Estimated Travel Time: 70 minutes from Florence

Arezzo is a city where every stone tells a story. Originally a powerful Etruscan capital and later a strategic Roman hub, its medieval center remains a stunning testament to centuries of artistic innovation.

• Piazza Grande: Explore this iconic sloping medieval square, world-famous as the setting for Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful and the historic Giostra del Saracino. It is also the site of one of Italy’s most prestigious monthly antique fairs.
• Renaissance Masterpieces: Visit the Basilica of San Francesco to admire Piero della Francesca’s “The Legend of the True Cross,” a fresco cycle considered a cornerstone of early Renaissance art.
• Architectural Wonders: Marvel at the Gothic Cathedral of San Donato and the Romanesque Santa Maria della Pieve with its intricate “Tower of a Hundred Holes.”
• Culinary Tradition: Savor the rustic flavors of Arezzo, from Acquacotta (traditional bread soup) to rich wild boar sauces served over handmade pappardelle, paired perfectly with local Chianti.

Next, your private Tuscany tour continues to Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage site that feels like a living museum. Built across three hills, Siena is a city of fierce pride, ancient traditions, and unparalleled Gothic beauty.

• Piazza del Campo: Experience the world’s most unique shell-shaped square. This is the stage for the Palio di Siena, the legendary bareback horse race (held July 2nd and August 16th) that defines the city’s identity.
• The Gothic Duomo: Step inside one of Italy’s most spectacular cathedrals to see works by Donatello, Michelangelo, and Bernini, as well as the breathtaking inlaid marble floors.
  The Contrade Culture: Learn about the 17 historic districts (Contrade) that have kept Sienese traditions alive since the 13th century.
• Gastronomy & Sweets: Taste the authentic Pici pasta (thick hand-rolled spaghetti) and indulge in Siena’s world-famous medieval desserts, Panforte and Ricciarelli, which are still made according to ancient recipes.
