Siena and southern Tuscany

Coach hire with driver in Siena

25+1+1 minibus and 51+1 coach for groups, with the city access permits already sorted. Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti and the Val d'Orcia. Written quote within 2 hours.

Siena is one of the cities where improvising with a group costs you most. The historic centre is almost entirely pedestrian, tourist coaches cannot enter, and the access permit must be booked at least the day before: turn up without one and you stay outside. It is not something that can be sorted on the morning.

GiroMunna is a licensed NCC operator based in the province of Pistoia. We drive ourselves, we buy the permits, and the driver knows the coach parks and the real running times on these roads.

Coach hire services in Siena

Day trips

From Florence, Pisa, Chianti or the coast. Siena on its own, or combined with San Gimignano or Monteriggioni.

Wine tours

Chianti Classico, Montalcino and Brunello, Montepulciano. Wineries with narrow approaches where the minibus gets in and a full-size coach does not.

Weddings in the Siena countryside

Villas and farmhouses among the vineyards: guests collected from several places and staggered runs home into the small hours.

Groups staying in Siena

If your group sleeps within the municipality there is a dedicated permit, far cheaper than the standard one. We apply for it.

Airport transfers

Florence, Pisa, Bologna, Rome. We track the flight and wait if it is delayed, at no extra cost.

Coach at your disposal

Vehicle and driver stay with the group for the day or for several days, across the Val d'Orcia and the Crete Senesi.

Where coaches stop in Siena

The restricted traffic zone covers almost the whole centre and tourist coaches cannot enter it. You stop at the perimeter car parks:

🚌 What almost nobody tells you: the Siena access permit is booked online at least one day in advance and comes in three forms — visiting the centre, groups sleeping within the municipality, and simple drop-off and pick-up without parking. Picking the right one can cost a fraction of the standard permit, and from the second day a group staying in Siena pays nothing. That is money lost purely by asking for the wrong permit. We handle it, and it appears in your quote at cost.

How much does hiring a coach with driver in Siena cost?

It depends on the hours, the distance, the vehicle, the season and the access permit — which in Siena has a high season running from mid-February to mid-November. We work it out and send it in writing, item by item.

For a detailed look at what pushes a quote up or down, we have written a page on how the price is built.

Why book with GiroMunna

We handle the permits

Booked in advance and of the right type. You deal with nothing, and the coach does not end up locked out.

We do the driving

We are not a booking desk reselling to third parties. The vehicle is ours and the person driving it answers for the day.

We know the southern roads

The Crete Senesi and the Val d'Orcia have stretches where a coach crawls. We allow for it in the schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Can the coach enter the centre of Siena?

No. The centre is pedestrian and traffic-restricted: coaches stop at the perimeter car parks, the closest one about five minutes' walk from Piazza del Campo.

Does the permit have to be booked in advance?

Yes, at least the day before arrival. It cannot be arranged on the day. We take care of it.

We are staying in Siena — does that change anything?

Quite a lot. There is a dedicated permit for groups sleeping within the municipality, cheaper, and from the second day there is nothing to pay. Tell us where you are staying and we apply it.

Do you reach the wineries in Chianti and Montalcino?

With the minibus yes, gravel roads included. With the full-size coach it depends on the approach, which we check before confirming.

How long does Florence to Siena take by coach?

About 1 h 15 for 75 km on the dual carriageway, depending on traffic and season.
