Your questions, answered

Use the "multi-city" function on the main booking page. Input your first transfer, then click "add transfer" to add your next destination. Complete your itinerary with optional sightseeing stops in the next step.
A private car transfer is the best way to explore Tuscan vineyards. Public transportation links many of the major cities, but the vineyards are much easier to reach by car. Relax and enjoy tastings at your own pace when a Daytrip private driver handles the winding Tuscan vineyards.
After selecting your main transfer, use the "Customize your trip with stops" page to choose your sightseeing stops. Your private driver will stop at your requested location and wait while you explore or enjoy a wine tasting. When you're ready, you'll rejoin them for a safe trip onward.
Three days gives you a comfortable long weekend in Tuscany's wine regions. It's enough time to stay in 1-2 major cities while visiting popular wine producers on day trips or as sightseeing stops.
