The trip to San Gimignano and two wineries in Tuscany with Marco was simply amazing. The communication before the tour was impressive and Marco, driver and guide, could not have more accommodating and helpful. 100% recommend this company. A real treat and value.

This tour was our favorite overall day in Italy. The tour company helped to tailor the perfect day for us - they arranged a guide for us in Sienna, a beautiful lunch at a winery overlooking San Gimignano, and the driver was safe and knowledgeable. We will most certainly reach out to this company again when we get back to Tuscany.

So awesome to work with this company, start to finish. We customized our tour so that we could be dropped off at our accommodations in the San Gimignano area. Email coordination with Ilaria was stellar, with prompt responses at every turn. Our driver, Francesco was great, his English was very good and he also recommended a lovely restaurant in Siena for lunch. The tour guide Anja, that they arranged for us in Siena, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was very refreshing to work with such a reliable company.

Can’t say how amazing our day with Marco was today! I had another Tuscan tour booked with a different company and they cancelled on me less than 24 hours before our tour was supposed to start. I called around different companies and Marco was the first one to be able to accommodate! We totally lucked out with Marco and it was a blessing in disguise that our other tour got cancelled. Marco was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the history of Florence, kept it real, and was a lot of fun to be a around. He was 6 accommodating as we found time to have him drop us off at the outlets since we finished our tour early. Can’t wait to come back to Florence and see Marco again!

We were picked up on time, the car was very comfortable and our driver, Francesco was knowledgeable and very flexible. He even worked in a short trip to a castle that had not been on the initial itinerary. And Siena an San Gimignano are wonderful towns to visit-- not to be missed. It was a terrific day (even though it rained a bit). We enthusiastically recommend Tours in Tuscany.

Our family of four did a private tour of Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena from Florence. We were truly impressed by the promptness and responsiveness during our coordination with Ilaria. She was really trying hard to accommodate our visit to Pisa to climb the tower and we appreciated her extra effort to even call us to see how we can make it work. We started off in Pisa and then went to San Gimignano and then to Siena. Our driver Roberto was excellent and gave us the right amount of time at each stop. She even set us up for light lunch and wine tasting at Podere La Maronnaia which was out of this world. The bottles of cold water in the van was a nice and welcome touch! The whole tour was so smooth and timely and we had a great sightseeing trip! We would definitely recommend them to everyone!
