Bus service is extremely convenient and is only about an hour and 15 minute ride. No need to spend the extra money on a car service.

Definitely recommend taking the bus to Florence. Much more affordable than a taxi. Buses leave Piazza Gramsci in Siena every 30 minutes. The bus station in Florence is parallel to Santa Maria Novella train station so it is easy to find a taxi from there to your hotel.

Bailey - You can find timetables for the Florence-Siena Express bus service on:

Hope this helps ...

I took the bus from Siena to Florence and it was a nice ride, easy to do, and cheap! I'm planning to do a day trip to Siena from Florence in May and will take the bus again.

Heartily agree - bus is the way to go. Cheap and convenient. Try to catch an express unless you want a lot of stops on the way. Express is quick.
