Siena: Half-day Guided Hike to Monteriggioni

7. Siena: Half-day Guided Hike to Monteriggioni

Give your mind a rest from the noise of the crowded towns, follow your expert guide on a pleasant walk along the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrim route first plotted by the Archbishop Sigeric of Canterbury on his return from Rome in the 9th century. The route was considered the main artery to Rome throughout the Middle Ages and is still a popular trail today. Once a highway of men and emotions, a spiritual pilgrimage as well as wealthy trade route, the via Francigena had been forgotten and almost entirely relegated to history by modern roads and only recently brought back to the grip of modernity, enjoyed by many modern pilgrims and hikers alike. Experience the beauty of the mixture between the Tuscan countryside and the glory of its medieval past, still present in the wonderfully preserved castles, villages and ruins along the route.   Pass through forests and fields, vineyards and olive groves from Siena to the imposing fortress of Monteriggioni, a medieval fortress built by the Sienese in the thirteenth century as a bastion of defense in their wars against Florence, today a fortified but quaint village with many shops of local crafts and products.   Once in Monteriggioni, enjoy a guided tasting of local wines before saying goodbye to your guide. You can then remain to explore the village and the surrounding area further at your own pace or return to Siena right away, as you are given bus tickets to return to Siena in your own time (several return buses available throughout the afternoon).

Our trip started around 13:45 and getting to the meeting point from Florence city center was quite easy. We were greeted by Mr. Luka who was also our tour guide. We had a clean spacious Mercedes van for this trip. Mr. Luka even provided with a baby seat. The drive to the wineries in the Chianti area is quite scenic and it’s important to have sufficient daylight when you are getting there. Most other companies only started around 14:30. Mr.Luka is extremely knowledge about Italian history and the Chianti wines and he explained during our drive almost all the things related to the famous Chianti region in fluent english. We went to two wineries where we tasted three wines at each place and we also stopped by a famous castle. We highly recommend this trip with Mr. Luka (My Tour Italy).

Had a wonderful time in beautiful San Gimignano, and the wineries. Montalcino, though beautiful, everything was closed so we really only saw the fort. Our driver, Vincenzo, was super sweet and knowledgeable and took us to some great panoramic views to take pictures.. Like other reviews, the trip did last about 9 hrs, which is more than enough time.

Fabulous driver/guide who could speak multiple languages really well and had deep local knowledge (including winemaking processes), lovely comfortable vehicle to travel in, stunning scenery, the right amount of time in each town and wine tasting with genuine local authentic quality wine makers (plus lovely food). We highly recommend this trip!

Our guide was so amazing! He spoke Italian, Spanish, and English. You definitely have to do this experience! Even our bus driver was so sweet and an experienced driver.

We visited 2 fantastic farms with wine tastings and food. Our driver, Giovanni, was friendly and knowledgeable about areas as we drove.
