Day Trip Tours From Florence?
 

My husband and I are going to Florence in the fall with another couple. We are wondering if there is a tour company within Florence that does day trips - to the countryside, etc. We would like to be in charge of our own agenda, but might enjoy a tour one day. Can anyone recommend a website or a service that gives us the name of a tour company in Florence?<BR>Thanks so much.

Angela,<BR><BR>www.caftours.com is just what you're looking for. I recommend both the Siena/San G. tour and the afternoon Chianti tour (I really enjoyed that one!) The brochures can be found in every hotel lobby.

We had tours in Siena and Florece with tour organizer ([email protected])

I did a half day trip to Pisa, and it was good. I arranged it at the Hotel

I would also recommend the 20 minute bus trip out of Florence to Fiesole. It is a suburb north of Florence which has the most amazing views. It also has a terrific Roman ruin town within it(complete with amplitheater,etc.) that they have uncovered.Our family enjoyed the history,views and wandering around the ruins. Definitely worth the stop! We took the public bus service(I think that it was around where David/Accademia is?) and the price was just several dollars for a round trip-about a 20 minute ride.

Debbie & all:<BR>We also want to visit Fiesole while in Florence in May. Everyone says Fiesole is a must visit! ARE THERE ANY REASONABLY PRICED PLACES TO EAT LUNCH OR DINNER? WE LOOK FORWARD TO FIESOLE.

I took your advice, grasshopper, and looked up the website for CAFTOURS and it looks like it's just the info I was searching for! Thanks to all for your input.

Up for Annie with same question.<BR>
