Driver was fun. Good sense of humor; Can't recall his name (he is a Brit who relocated to Italy.) Siena was nice, San Gimignano and Montefrigironi (sp) were terrific. Great trip; great value.

Great Driver for the day (Paul) who was super informative and put together a great to a local winery at lunch. Our guide in Siena (Maria) was very well informed and did a great job showing us the city and explaining all of its treasures.

We were on a Perillo tour highlighting Venice, Florence, and Rome. We spent the better part of a day in Siena and enjoyed the tour very much. The Cathedral was beautiful. The square was a great place to spend the afternoon.

Christian was very informative and cared that we had a great tour. He set up our lunch at a fantastic vineyard as well as a private guide in Siena.

<p>The guide in Siena was great and the tour was informative. I would plan ahead for a wine tasting, too. We were able to fit one in at the spur of the moment but we ran over time and were charged an additional 70E for the time.</p> <p>The driver was very nice and eager to please but his English wasn't great.</p>

Patrick D

<p>This was an excellent experience. We liked the private walking tour of Sienna very much. We were able to add in a visit to a winery with lunch and tasting. This was arranged by our driver at the last moment at the begining of the day.</p>

<p>Nicola was an excellent guide. Informative, funny and engaging company.</p>

Janice Murphy

<p>Our tour guide we met in Siena was wonderful. She had lots of interesting stories and it was really relaxed. The driver was very nice but probably could increase his knowledge so that he could point out interesting things during the trip. San Gimignano - it was too short and without a guide we were a bit lost as to what we could do. It was really busy too.</p>

<p>The guide in Siena was very knowledgable, it was a pleasure to visit this beautiful city with her.</p>

Vita Marie M

<p>We had a wonderful time touring beautiful Siena and San Gimignano with our incredible driver, Roberto, in his luxurious Mercedes SUV. Roberto was prompt and professional, but warm, informative, funny and gracious too. We chose a private tour so my mother, who has difficulty walking, could really enjoy some sightseeing and this worked out beautifully. In Siena, we were met my Monica who gave us a comprehensive tour of the city and magnificent Duomo. Roberto called ahead for lunch reservations at the Bel Soggiorno in San Gimignano, and we had a delicious meal with an unforgettable view. We had enough time to then explore the city on our own. On our return, Roberto made a special side trip so that we could pay our respects at the US military cemetery located outside of Florence. A great experience and absolutely worth the price.</p>
