Gorgeous Tuscany towns

Great tour! Lorenzo was great - knowledgeable and funny! Alex was a safe driver and conscientious. I would definitely recommend Siena and San Gimignano. Beautiful towns and lots of history.

Day in the Tuscan region

There is a lot of walking, but with some travel time between stops, you can rest. The winery tour was fun, food was good, enjoyed seeing olive oil rm and where wines are fermented. The only disappointment was that lunch was hosted indoors. The grounds were so beautiful, an outdoor venue for lunch would have made it a bit more memorable

Fun day trip

Wonderful day trip from Florence. Walking tour of Siena, delicious lunch in the countryside at a vineyard where they make Chianti and olive oil, and finally a stroll on your own through the towers of San Gimignano, which hosts the “best gelato.” Alessa was a perfect guide, full of knowledge and stories and Gino was a great driver.
