The Basilica of San Domenico is located on the slopes of the historic center of Siena, framed by the houses that "climb" under the Duomo, it is among the most important churches in the city especially for its link with the life of Saint Catherine of Siena. Built between 1226 and 1265 and enlarged during the fourteenth century, the Basilica of San Domenico has undergone numerous vicissitudes over the centuries, fires, military occupations, earthquakes, interventions and modifications, which have led to its unmistakable Gothic style appearance being defined Cistercian and is characterized by an original relationship between exterior and interior.

Duomo di Siena

Our driver Mr. Adam and tour guide Josh both did an amazing job! Josh did such a great job sharing the history of the cities. The winery was fantastic! 4 course lunch with homemade lasagna! Spend a little more for this smaller tour (max 6 ppl and we lucked out with only 2 of us on ours) and the food is so much better than what it sounds like some of the cheaper tours offer.

Joseph and Maximo were a great team to take us around parts of Tuscany! The landscape is all I hoped. Both towns we visited were filled with history. Ended with the food and wine pairing was the highlight of the day. Thanks for the wonderful experience and memories!

Scott_G

Perfect day trip to experience the Tuscan countryside! Iconic sights, the best winery experience with tasting and full Italian meal, all with the ease of your own driver and local guide. You won’t regret it!

Karen_D

Excellent tour. Picked up on time. Siena was beautiful and the winery and gardens were beautiful. Highly recommend.

We wanted to take a day to explore Tuscany but not on a big bus tour. This was the perfect way to do it. We were joined by a wonderful couple so the six of us whisked through Rome and headed for the hills and quaint towns of Tuscany. We had perfect weather; our guide and driver were excellent. Siena was charming, along with San Gimignano. We worked up an appetite walking around and when we arrived for lunch, we were greeted by the owner of the winery. Farm to Table in a beautiful rustic setting. Lots of delicious wine and a lasagna that was finished off with a light drizzle of truffle oil. This is a must do trip if you want a brief but thorough overview of the area. We will definitely be back for a longer visit.

Our guide Giuseppe and driver Roberto were top notch. Roberto had nerves of steel and drove us safely through the harrowing streets of Rome & winding hills of Tuscany without breaking a sweat. Guiseppe was fun, knowledgeable and very accommodating of individual requests and needs. The winery lunch was absolutely amazing! If I could give it 10 stars I would. If I could live there and eat & drink that way every day I would! I would also weigh 600 lbs. But, it would be worth it. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the countryside in a semi-private format. It was the experience of a lifetime!

Nice day with one other couple. Great escape from Rome for a day. Spent some money buying wine that got sent home.
