Questions & Answers about Traveling from Florence to Siena

Is Siena a walkable city?

Siena is a small, walkable city. You can walk to most attractions, and if you crest the hill the city sits upon, you'll see breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. It's the best place for couples who love long romantic walks or want to capture a city's history in one go.

Is taking a taxi from Florence to Siena expensive?

Unfortunately, taking a taxi from Florence to Siena is incredibly expensive. A taxi costs around 150 euros on average, but this price can be higher during peak travel periods. Taxis are also harder to get and don't always travel the route you want to experience.

Is the train ride from Florence to Siena scenic?

When deciding how to travel, it's natural to want to take the most scenic route. The bus and train both offer scenic views (though the train is arguably better). However, Daytrip's private car service one-ups them since you can stop and sightsee!

Is Siena in Italy worth going to?

Siena is worth visiting if you want to enjoy medieval scenery, good food, and excellent wine. The culinary scene in Siena is unlike anywhere else in the world, with the city putting its own take on Tuscan classics. If you want to try an authentic dish, try the Sienese pasta dish pici, a hand-rolled pasta with tomato and garlic sauce.

What is the best way to get from Florence to Siena?

The best way to get from Florence to Siena is usually to book a trip with a private car service like Daytrip. Unlike other forms of transportation, Daytrip is cost-effective, comfortable, safe, fun, and reliable. You control when you travel and where you stop and sightsee, which is a big advantage that other transportation options don't offer.

Is Siena worth a day trip from Florence?

Some would describe Siena as the perfect day trip from Florence. The city has much to explore, from medieval architecture and a grand main square to little-known statues and a beautiful cathedral. Not to mention, the food on offer is delicious, and so is the wine.

What is the cheapest way to get from Florence to Siena?

Head to the bus station if you want the cheapest transportation! Tickets are as low as $7 and are cheaper when booked online in advance.

Florence and Siena are only 50 miles (80 km) apart.

How can I get from Florence to Siena?

What can I see along the way from Florence to Siena?

Daytrip makes it easy to add sightseeing stops. We recommend Pieve di San Pietro, San Gimignano, Colle Val d'Elsa, Monteriggioni, Castiglio Fiorentino, and Montepulciano. Pick the optional sightseeing stops you'd like to add during the booking process.

Day Trip through Tuscany

“We hired Day Trip to take us from Florence to Siena, then from Siena to Montepulciano, and then to our final destination in Castiglione della Pescaia. It was the very best decision we could have made! We could not have asked for a better driver/tour guide than Ricardo. He was kind, informative, and really interesting to talk to. He arrived 15 minutes early and was incredibly flexible with our schedule. Because of Ricardo’s professionalism and kindness I would not hesitate to use “Day Trip” again, and we will recommend it to others. They are very lucky to have such a wonderful employee!”

Private Driver from Florence to Siena

“We hired DayTrip to privately drive us from Florence to Siena, and back to Florence a week later. Both drivers were absolutely wonderful, and the service is incredibly responsive. The driver that picked us up at Florence airport Benito. He phoned us upon our arrival to make sure we knew he was there, which was wonderful — and he spoke perfect English which was very nice. He picked us up in a Mercedes, and provided us with a smooth ride, great conversation and lots of fun tips about Tuscany. Very personable and a welcoming first point-of-contact upon our arrival in Italy. Our driver from Siena back to Florence was Cristiano. Cristiano was great, in spite of not being able to communicate with us as much, not being fluent in English (nor are we in Italian), but he was very sweet, and a great driver. He recommended Trattoria Za Za in Florence because he knew it was nearby our hotel, and it was an awesome recommendation — the food was incredible so we ate there twice!. We would definitely use DayTrip again, and appreciate the professional level of service, solid communications prior to our pick-ups, and answers to questions when booking. Very solid, reliable driver experience.”

@ GREAT TRANSFERS!

“My husband and I used Daytrip to travel freom Rome to Siena and then from Siena to Florence. The drivers are very professonal and courteous and arrived early, the vehicles immaculant. They even added a stop for us at the AutoGrill. We will use them in our travels in the future. Highly recommend them to eveyone. Great service! They reply quickly to emails and can schedule custom trips. They sent an email ahead of time with drivers picture and name, vehicle license plate and contact info. I've never had service from a travel company like this.”

Travelling with no hassles

“We used Daytrip for three journeys in Italy. The first was from Florence to Siena, second from Siena to Cortona with a stop at Multipulciano to sample the wines, and finally from Matera to Salerno with a stop at the Grotto of Original Sin. In all cases each trip was door to door (even Matera !) and the drivers courteous and knowledgeable. The time savings were enormous particularly from Matera, and we enjoyed the many differing landscapes of Tuscany and Puglia. Would recommend Daytrip to all.”

Car from Florence to Siena

“I had contacted a number of vendors to get quotes on hiring a driver to our hotel about an hour south of the city of Siena. The quote from daytrip was received quickly and was extremely well priced for a large Mercedes van. The company was in regular touch with me prior to our arrival and called when we landed. The driver was waiting for us at the exit of customs and took us right to the car. I must say that he was extremely safe in driving and got us to our destination quickly. I highly recommend Daytrip!”

A Perfect Option!

“I could not have been more pleased with my trip from Siena to Florence with Signor Andrea Nieri! He showed up right on time (actually, a little early), was dressed in a suit and tie, and was incredibly polite and friendly. I am a 76-year-old woman who was traveling alone. I really did not want to struggle with my heavy bag on the train or the bus, followed by a taxi ride to the hotel in Florence, so Daytrip seemed like the best solution for me. And it was. Signor Nieri provided me with a smooth ride, a bottle of water, some hard candy, and both wet and dry paper towels. Thank you for providing this wonderful service, which is worth every penny! I cannot think of a single thing you would need to do to improve it.”

Excellent transportation for place to place

“We wanted to go to Siena from Florence. Our choices were busses or trains and then a walk into the walled city of Siena. My husband's mobility is limited so I found Daytrip.com. What a great experience. Driver came in his clean Mercedes sedan and picked us up at our front door. We were dropped in a square just feet from our hotel in Siena and he took our bags into the hotel. Will definitely use Daytrip again.”
