Traveler reviews
Would’ve been better with a different tour guide perhaps
We had to walk 5-10 minutes from the meetup point to the bus which is just useful to know. This would’ve been a lot better of an experience had it not been for the heat so take this review with a grain of salt when it comes to that. Our bus overheated halfway through the trip and it was hard to breathe which did hinder the experience significantly as we didn’t get relief from the heat between stops and had to continue walking up hills. Our tour guide’s name started with a V and she gave a lot of information on the tour, but it got to a point when she wouldn’t stop talking the entire bus ride as there were translations between English and Spanish. There were some points that the group wanted to nap between locations or just have a few quiet moments. At different stops, our tour guide did not give us adequate directions to different spots and we were all left feeling confused about where to go during free time. Additionally at our last stop during a wine tasting, the employee doing the wine tasting spoke in Italian to our tour guide asking if any of us spoke Italian. Our tour guide said she didn’t think so, but she didn’t know that I understand and speak Italian. The employee of the wine tasting proceeded to talk poorly about another person in our group and our tour guide engaged in that conversation which I relayed to our group and they were not happy. It was really disappointing to hear this and showed lack of professionalism from the tour guide. This incident alone significantly shaped my perspective of this experience. Overall, the views and experience of the small towns was enjoyable! We loved the scenery and the countryside.
Excellent
All right only was not in Portuguese the translation
Great relaxing tour
Relaxing tour with plenty of time to explore each town. Nice to see some hard to reach places without having to rent a car
Incredible day
"It was a wonderful day spent with Marina and Claudio, with a warm welcome and detailed explanations provided throughout the entire tour. Thank you also for the bonus stops. The visit was very dynamic, and thanks to the other participants, everything was perfectly organized and well-paced. The bus was of very good quality and had air conditioning, which really helps when it’s hot.
Da fare
We went to maybe the most beautiful part of Tuscany. Our guide Marina was perfect, understandable, brief and comprehensive. Our guide Claudio made all the stops we wanted for photos! I suggest it.
