Siena, San Gimignano e vino Chianti in una giornata con partenza da Montecatini Terme

Valerie did an excellent job of leading this small group of 8 people. She found special places that we would never have explored if we had been on our own.

Thank you Valeria for driving and telling about Tascany, you were wonderful! The vinery was just OK. Siena and San Gimignano are beautiful cities to visit, wish we had more time there.

Tanya was an excellent guide. She was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited and made it such a fun day. The scenery and lunch and wine tasting were awesome. I highly recommend this tour and you will be lucky to have Tanya as your guide.

Lovely tour, driving through beautiful Tuscan countryside, wandering around mediaeval San Gimignano and Siena, sampling local wine, cheese, bread and honey. Our charming tour guide and driver Valerie looked after us beautifully and shared her unlimited local knowledge of food, farming, culture and all things Tuscan. Not your average tour - far better than that!

We had a truly wonderful experience on this guided tour of two historic and interesting cities. Our tour guide Valerie was very knowledgeable about Tuscan landscapes, agriculture, history, local produce and wines. She was really friendly and made our trip so relaxing and fun. The tour guide who took us around Siena took us off the beaten track and showed us some hidden views of the city. Also very knowledgeable about the Palio which had taken place the week before, the locals were still celebrating and parading flags wearing traditional costume around the main square - quite an atmosphere! The wine and food tasting was within the winery where we sat at tables laid out for the occasion. We were surrounded by the oak barrels full of maturing wines. It was an enjoyable experience hearing about the wines and local produce.

Recently took this tour with Valerie our tour guide. It was a lovely small group with only 5 others on the tour with us. We had just missed the Palio di Siena horse race, as it was held the day before our arrival in Siena. However our tour guide through Siena, Barbara was so friendly and knowledgeable as she took us through the streets and different districts of Siena. We got to witness the district of the dragon parading around the town after their victory in the race the day before! As it was 38 degrees on the day of pur tour Valerie kept us hydrated with bottles of water and some beautiful and traditional ricciarelli di siena biscuits during our tour. Afterwards we headed to San Gimignano and on towards our wine tasting at a local vineyard. All locations were stunning, the food was delicious, the wine I'm sure for wine lovers was delicious, but I'm not a fan myself. However, it was organised for me to have a little taste of the local Grappa at the vineyard. This is whiskey made from the pomace of the grapes and is really worth the try if you visit! Overall the day was amazing and it was at a comfortable pace with no rushing around. Our local guides were friendly and knowledgeable. However Valerie herself was truly amazing. So warm, welcoming, friendly and full of information. I would recommend any tour with her as she was such a joy to be around and we will return for another spin with her someday soon I hope! Ciao Valerie from your Irish friends!
