Viator tours seem pretty popular.

Good Friend and I very much enjoyed our day long "Best of Tuscany" tour with Walkabout Florence several months ago. We spent maybe two hours in Siena; lunch at a beautiful agritourismo outside of San Gimignano; a couple of hours in San G, then finished up with a stop in Pisa, with time to stroll around the Field of Miracles and/or climb the tower. I thought the day was well organized, the tour guide enthusiastic and helpful, and the time spent in each place just enough to get some flavor, and leave us wanting more.

Just a note that Viator is not a tour company. They are a (3rd party) agency that sells tours by the actual tour companies.

We did the tour 2 years ago with Walk About out to Siena, San G, Pisa. Long day! Didn't feel we had enough time in Siena, too much time to get to Pisa and back to Florence. Bus was comfortable, tour guide very nice and informative, just a long day. We also did this in Feb and it was rainy, with shorter days The tour continued on after sunset in Pisa to see the area after the leaning Tower portion. They continued to drive us around Pisa in the dark to see the city but the windows were all fogged up. The view was very obscured then all the way to Florence. It did motivate us to spend a week in Siena last year, decided we aren't tour types.
