I am planning two nights in Tuscany (Greve/Panzano) and was hoping to accomplish two things (Hot Springs and Winery) but without driving. We are coming from Florence and already have the Italy rail pass. We were going to take bus to Panzano to stay in country side and go to wineries.
I hear renting a car on a Sunday in Florence is a nightmare if it can even be done and then returning it as well can be a pain since I believe most car rentals are at airport. For two nights we were hoping to avoid that hassle. The second day was hoping to go to a wine tour and wanted to see if there was a service that would pick us up and take us there. Then there is no drinking and driving as well. I e-mailed a few wineries but waiting to hear back.
Would we miss too much by not having a car. Is it worth the hassle? For the limited amount of time we are in Tuscany are there other options that you know of. I googled a few private drivers but it seems like they are more suited for group tours. Any advice??
I also wanted to go to Hot Springs but they seem to be pretty far south and not easy to get to so I am thinking of skipping them.
We are going in three weeks and I am getting nervous about the Tuscany part. The rest of the trip seems easy because of the train accessibility.
Thanks
