Highly recommend this tour!
It was a wonderful tour with good information, friendly tour guides, beautiful locations and an excellent lunch at a lovely Vineyard.
Great tour of Siena and San Gimignano with wine tasting lunch.
Great tour from start to finish! The smaller bus made the trip much more comfortable and enjoyable. Lorenzo was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, patient, and engaging throughout the day. The itinerary was well paced, with just the right amount of free time to explore on our own. We especially enjoyed the wine-tasting lunch, which was a highlight of the tour. Vincenzo did an excellent job driving, making for a smooth and relaxing journey. Overall, an excellent experience that I would highly recommend!
Wonderful day and way to see Siena and San Gimignano.
What a great day visiting these cities in beautiful Tuscany. Lorenzo, our guide along with Nino, our driver, were both excellent. Great personalities and care shown for everyone on the bus. Nino was a careful driver and ensured we were all safe in his friendly manner. Always a smile. Thank you Nino. Lorenzo shared his vast knowledge of Tuscany, Siena and San Gimignano in an interesting and informative way. I learned a lot about the history of Tuscany, thank you Lorenzo. He guided us up into Siena and San Gimignano, ensuring we all stayed together. He was very careful to ensure we all knew when and where the meeting point was in both places. Lorenzo had excellent communication in English and was able to answer questions the group had for him. Our lunch and tasting at the winery was nice although the pasta could have been warmer. Not being a wine drinker, I particularly liked the Olive Oil that we tasted. We arrived back in Florence on time with Lorenzo explaining to each person/group how to get back to their hotel/accommodation. This was very much appreciated, especially for me, travelling on my own. A wonderful day and way to see this part of beautiful Tuscany. Huge thanks to Lorenzo and Nino.
Perfect Tuscany day trip
A wonderful day visiting Siena and San Gimignano. Lovely lunch at a beautiful winery in Chianti. Very comfortable air-conditioned bus and great to be in a small group. Francesco is a perfect driver and Alessia is a very kind, knowledgeable and friendly guide. Loved whole experience!
