My husband I would like to do day trips in Sept. with our home base in
Florence. How can we hook up with a tour agency/facility that go
each day to Sienna,San Gimignano/Cortona/Volterra/Greve and whatever 7
days will allow. We would like to be with a guided/type group that
pick you up and deliver you back to Florence. Any ideas would be
appreciated. We do not want to rent a car and drive ourselves. Our
flight home to Canada is from Florence so would like to come and go
from there.

Many thanks,
Cathy

A chain of 7 day excursions with a group? Will be difficult. Maybe

can help.

there is a third option i.e. there is easy bus service or train service
to most of these places from Florence e.g. -- in less than an hour you
can be in the center of Siena for about 7 Euro each way -- and you
really really don't need a tour guide for the trip

Any of the bigger hotels or the tourism office of Florence will have
brochures and can make suggestions.
