Hi
Excited to be going on my annual trip to Italia in September! I was there last year and did several tours and felt rushed so this time I want to take my time exploring the awesome towns. I will be leaving Florence on September 21 and want to spend 3-4 days driving through the small towns in Tuscany. I want to avoid the highways completely. So this is what Im trying to determine:
1. to drive or hire a personal driver to take me to the towns or take a bus?
2. If I were to rent a car, where should I rent it from? Siena or Florence. I would like to avoid the highway as much as possible.
3. How far is each town from Siena? I want to explore Siena of course, Montalcino, San Gimignano and other ones along the way. Should I just stay one night in each town as opposed to renting an apt in Siena (as my base point)for 3-4 days?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
