Traveler reviews
Tuscan Towns
Jonathan was the best. He was so kind and informative about the Tuscan region. He made our day so much better. The views were amazing and the towns made you feel like you were stepping back into time… Absolutely beautiful. This tour is well worth doing and we would highly recommend it.
1st Class Service Provider
We were a group of 9 people looking for a customised private tour to Chianti, Siena n San Gimignano. Prior to this, I had booked another small group tour which required us to meet the guide at an inconvenient location and while comparing the cost decided to go with adventure Bellissime which provided door to door hotel pick up service. This was certainly the clincher as I wanted the group to travel in comfort and not having to deal with travelling in a bus/coach with strangers. Our drivers were Giacomo and Gianni, both were polite and friendly. I’d like to give special mention to Giacomo who was my driver, he provided 5 star service throughout. Knowledgeable and friendly and always engaging. For us the highlight was the vineyard tour, Guilia our guide from Casa Emma was very professional and we thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting and wine pairing. Tasting 6 different types of wines. The food was superb, service was always on point and the whole group has a wonderful time chatting and laughing throughout our meal, taking in the gorgeous view of the vineyard. We over stayed at the vine yard but nonetheless we ended off our tour taking in the breathtaking night view of the beautiful city of Florence as we stopped on the hilltop on our journey back. All in all, we would do this tour a second time round the next time we visit Florence. I would rate my experience with Adventure Bellissime a 5/5. By a country mile the best tour I booked, nothing Viator/getyourguide/withlocals could ever match in terms of service level. ( just for context, I did book tours from those companies I listed and they paled in comparison). This is not a paid review and everything stated here is true and accurate reflection of the authentic and 1st class service we received.
Great Tour Fun Day
This was a terrific tour. Alessandro was our guide. And he was terrific! He was knowledgeable and fun. Siena was really interesting. We stopped by a winery for lunch. Then we headed to San Gimignano. And last stop was Pisa. This was a fun tour! Next time I head to Italy, I will see what other tours these guys provide. It was a great experience!
Great tour, lots of extras!
We had the tour from Florence to San Gimignano, Siena and a vineyard in the Chianti region. Our tour leader, Benjamin, was the best ever! Very interesting, so nice and knew a lot about the history of the region. We absolutely loved the whole tour and got a lot out of our money. Benjamin went above and beyond to make our day memorable. Thanks a lot!
Day trip to the Chianti Wine region
Loved this trip. Our driver provided information along the way to Siena and San Gimignano. We stopped at a lovely winery for wine tasting - 4 different kinds of wine for taste testing were provided with refills. A delicious traditional Italian lunch was provided. The presenter at the winery nicely described information about the grapes and the wine we had. We stopped at each village. We had a two hour guided tour of Siena. The tour guide was excellent. We had ample time in both villages to explore.
