Some of the towns we will visit include San Gimignano; a private guided tour of Florence including no wait admission to see Michelangelo's David ; a private guided tour in Siena; Castellina in Chianti; Greve in Chianti; Monteriggioni; Panzano; Montefioralle; Volpaia; Lecchi in Chianti; Gaiole in Chianti.
