Day Trips from Florence for Campervan Travelers

Quick summary: Alongside a campervan trip, guided day trips from Florence to Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca, the Cinque Terre, the Val d’Orcia and Umbria are useful on days when you’d rather not drive. They handle ZTL zones, parking and timed entries, and wine tours mean no one drives after tastings. With a campervan or motorhome, you can also visit most of these places independently and stay nearby.

When is a tour easier than taking the RV?

For the Cinque Terre, where trains and boats replace driving, and for wine tours, so no one drives after tastings.

Can you combine tours and self-drive days?

Yes. Many travelers take a Cinque Terre day trip from Florence, then drive the Chianti and Val d’Orcia at their own pace.
