Day trip from Florence recommendations

I would love to learn about your favorite places to visit for a day trip from Florence.

We are considering visiting Siena, Montpulciano, and/or San Gimignano. I'm not sure if we would be able to visit one place in the morning and another in the afternoon? Or if it is best to visit one place?

Thank you

Use WalkAboutFlorence - do their Best of Tuscany Tour - it takes you to Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and lunch. See photos and reviews on TripAdvisor, but book direct with WalkAboutFlorence. Tours by Roberto is also good.

Siena is easy by bus or train
Bus is better as it drops you up in town
Siena deserves a full day or an overnight

Montepulciano is difficult to get to with public transportation

SG can be reached by train then bus but also easier with a car

You could probably in combine Siena and SG if you have a car otherwise public transportation is convoluted and time consuming

If you don’t want to rent a car then consider a guided bus tour as above
