Tuscany Travel Tips
General Tips
-Rent a car! It is very easy to drive around Tuscany and park outside the walls of each town. -Book a private driver for a winery tour. I used Chianti Taxi Di Mogni Daniele and highly recommend. -The Tuscany towns listed are all small and are great options for day trips. -Book a Tuscan cooking class! This was my favorite thing we did on our trip in San Gimignano.
