Need Recommendations for Day Trips (Transportation & Tours) from Florence

A group of us will be in Florence in mid-July for a wedding celebration that was postponed from 2020 due to COVID. Most of us have been to Florence before, so are interested in day trips outside the city.

On Tuesday, July 19th, we have 8-10 people who want to travel to Siena for a tour with a stop at a winery on the way back to Florence. The wine tasting has been arranged, so we need a tour guide in Siena and a van/mini-bus driver for the tour.

On Thursday, July 21st, we want to arrange a day trip with a tour to either Lucca or San Gimignano (or somewhere else interesting in the area!) for 8-10 people.

I need to arrange transportation and tours and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

When I went to Florence in July 2017, my only day trip was to Pisa. I had bought my ticket to the leaning tower in advance. I took the train to and from Pisa.

I don't see how you would have time for a day trip to Siena and a trip to a winery the same day.

Last time I checked, Tripadvisor.com had a lot of advertisements for guided tours, including group guided tours traveling in vans leaving from various places. Have you checked trip advisor to see what group guided tour operators might be able to drive you guys to and from Florence in a van?
