Authentic Tuscany: 8-Day Road Trip

The Yes Getaways Tuscany road trip includes 7 nights: 2 nights in Florence, 1 in Cortona, 2 in Siena, 1 in Volterra and a final night in Florence. Round-trip flights, hotels, a rental car picked up and returned at Florence Airport, taxes and fees related to the booking and an expert trip manager are included. Tours, meals, parking, fuel, tolls and city taxes are not included.

Yes. Round-trip flights are included. The price depends on your departure airport, and other departure cities are available on request. Contact the Yes Getaways team before booking to discuss departure options. Seat selection, extra baggage, and cabin class upgrades are not included in the package price but can be arranged with the team before finalizing your booking as paid add-ons and subject to availability.

Most drives take between 1 and 1.5 hours, plus the stops along the way. The longest days are Florence to Cortona and Siena to Volterra via San Gimignano.

A standard economy car with manual transmission, picked up and returned at Florence Airport. A larger car or an automatic is available on request, at an extra cost.

Yes. Roads are in good condition and well signposted, and you drive on the right. Historic town centers have narrow streets and restricted traffic zones (ZTL), where driving in without a permit can mean a fine, so park outside the center when needed.

A valid U.S. or Canadian driver's license is accepted by most rental companies, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended and may be required. Some motorways have tolls, paid by card or cash at the booths. Tolls are not included in the package price.

Parking is available on site or nearby at the hotels, but it is not always free. In the historic centers of Florence and Siena, hotels without their own car park usually rely on a paid garage. If free parking matters to you, tell the Yes Getaways team when booking and we will try to choose hotels that include it.

This package includes hotels selected by the Yes Getaways team in each stop: Florence, Cortona, Siena and Volterra, plus a few in the surrounding area. Because you have a rental car, the hotels are not necessarily in the center of the city or town. Some are in the historic center and others are a short drive away, on the edge of town or in the nearby countryside. None of them is in a remote or isolated spot: we chose properties in towns or villages, with restaurants and services nearby. The category and location vary.

Breakfast is not included by default. It can be added during the booking process, when available for your hotels and dates, or requested from the Yes Getaways team. All other meals are at your own expense.

April to October is the best time to drive through Tuscany. Spring (April to June) is green and mild. Summer (July to August) is hot, with more visitors in Florence and Siena. Early fall (September to October) is harvest time in the vineyards, with mild weather.
