Traveler reviews
Both cities were...
Both cities were wonderful and full of interesting history. The wine tasting and lunch was very nice. Lorenzo was a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide while Matteo was an efficient and friendly driver.
Loved it so much that I will be going again the next time I visit Florence
Sam Gimignano was absolutely beautiful and one of the many highlights of my trip to Florence. Lorenzo was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions our group had, including where the best Gelato in Italy is served (Gelateria Dondoli, and it was wonderful). He did a great job of making sure we didn't lose any stragglers between destinations, while also giving us all enough time to do some sightseeing on our own. The lunch and wine tasting was great! Even though I'm not a big fan of wine, I picked up a great tasting bottle as a gift for family back home. I am usually one who gets motion sick on busses or cars, but Matteo was an amazing driver which allowed me to feel perfectly healthy when we got out to location.
Lovely day visiting sSenna and San Gimignano
We had a great day visiting Sienna and San Gimignano. Our guide Lorenzo was fantastic and had a great knowledge of the history of the region which he shared with us so enjoyably and he had so many helpful hints to better enjoy our stay in Florence and Tuscany Our driver was Sergio who was also so thoughtful
A well organized tour...
A well organized tour with interesting historical information and a delicious lunch at a beautiful winery. The option to visit the Duomo in Sienna was a great opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful churches.
Fabulous experience in Florence
Tour guide Lorenzo and driver Sergio were terrified. Made the day extra special.
