Where day trips from Florence go, and what each costs

The day trips around Florence listed here, place by place, with the detailed guide linked under each.

  • Pisa — from $62, always combined

    No listing here visits Pisa on its own. It comes with Siena and San Gimignano at $62 (12 hours, light lunch) or with Cinque Terre at $94. The Pisa guide sets the combinations side by side.

  • Siena and San Gimignano — from $62 to $781

    The 12-hour day with an optional lunch and wine at a winery costs $151 (4.8 on 5,373 reviews). San Gimignano with Volterra in a small group is $345, and a private day by deluxe car $781. All of them are in the Siena guide.

  • Chianti wineries — from $55

    Two wineries with the winemakers for $55, a small-group tasting of wine and olive oil at two wineries for $99 (4.9 on 4,694 reviews), or wine safaris with lunch or dinner for $145.

  • Chianti by Vespa — $120 to $223

    Three Vespa days of 5 to 7 hours, all with wine. The $120 one also offers a scooter or an electric car. Wine, Vespa and farm days are compared in the Tuscany and Chianti guide.

  • Val d'Orcia — from $212

    Wine tasting in Montalcino, lunch in Pienza and olive oil in Montepulciano for $251 in 10.5 hours (4.8 on 307 reviews). Siena, Cortona and Montepulciano cost $212 for 10–12 hours.

  • Cinque Terre — from $94

    The group day with Pisa costs $94 (4.7 on 3,335 reviews); the $177 version adds a boat ride and Manarola and Vernazza. Private days cost $668 to $916. Details: the Cinque Terre guide.

  • Balloon over Tuscany — $255 or $300, 3 hours

    One flight leaves from Chianti with a Prosecco breakfast; the other flies over San Casciano. The balloon guide has both.

  • Truffles and horses — $191 to $1,060

    A truffle hunt in Chianti with lunch, wine and San Gimignano costs $307 (5.0 on 28 reviews). A horse ride with a wine tour and lunch at an estate is $366; a private 1-hour ride with an aperitivo and pickup from Florence is $191, 4.9 on 19 reviews.

How you travel

Which listings name the car, and which are half a day

For day trips from Florence by car, two listings name the vehicle: the private Siena and San Gimignano day by deluxe car at $781 and the Val d’Orcia day in a private chauffeur-driven vehicle at $1,328. The Cinque Terre day at $177 names coach, minibus or minivan. Most other listings do not say how you travel, so check the live listing if it matters.

Short day trips from Florence, by listed length: the two balloon flights take 3 hours, the private horse ride 4 hours, the small-group wine tour 4.5 hours and the Chianti wineries tour 5–6.5 hours. Its description calls it a half-day tour.

Day trips to Florence from a cruise port are a different product. One listing here does it: a private day from the port of Livorno covering Florence and Pisa at $1,060, with only 6 reviews behind it.

Worth it?

Are day trips from Florence worth the money?

Cheapest per hour on the long group days.

On the numbers, the long group days are the cheapest per hour: Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano at $62 for 12 hours is $5.17 an hour, the Siena day with a winery lunch $12.58. The small-group wine tour is $22.00 an hour and Val d’Orcia $23.90.

Good day trips from Florence, judged on reviews, are the ones with thousands behind them: the Chianti wineries tour (4.5 on 11,779 reviews), Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano (4.5 on 9,641 reviews) and the small-group wine tour (4.9 on 4,694 reviews). Among listings with over 1,000 reviews, the highest rating is the small-group wine tour at 4.9.

The truffle, horse and private chauffeur days cost more and rest on far fewer reviews: 5 of the 30 have fewer than 20. Those are the best day trips out of Florence for a special day, not the safest bet on numbers.
