The couple we were going with had passport problems and could not get here in time so we had to cancel. But before and after Marco was EXTREMELY professional, communicated quickly, and took time to explain things to us. If we return we would not hesitate to use him again.

We had the most amazing day in Siena and San Gimignano!! Marco, our driver was knowledgeable, kind and helpful. It was so nice to not worry about transportation and also get a tour guide to teach you about the region. Highly recommend!!!

Marco was a magnificent tour guide and driver for our family to enjoy Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena. He arranged a private wine tour and lunch at a beautiful winery. His timing was impeccable and his suggestions for what to see and do at each location were spot on. This is an excellent way to capture a full experience of the region! Highly recommended.

Marco was super responsive when I first contacted him from the US. He suggested places for us to stop for pics and also made reservations. In the end, it was a wonderful day trip leaving Florence, hitting San Gim and Siena. We never felt rushed and he was great company. Totally worth the cost to spend a day in Tuscany off the tourist path.

We had a fantastic tour with Marco a couple of weeks ago, he gave us some interesting information about each area, and of course is a great driver and prompt with pick-up/drop-offs. We highly recommend this tour as a good way to take the family (teenager and almost-teen) to experience a little of each area; Siena, San Gimignano and instead of a winery visit he took us to Monteriggioni. Marco also booked lunch for us at a very nice restaurant in Siena. We had not had a private tour before and although it was a little indulgent as a family, it was very worth it.

Marco was great! On time, friendly, informative, and went out of his way to ensure my mom (who has some mobility issues) was comfortable in Siena. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely the BEST day ever! We loved having the flexibility to visit each town while also going at our own pace! The lunch at the winery was splendid and so personal! We felt like family! Marco was the greatest driver and so fun to get to know!!! One of our favorite tours we did in Italy!!!

Our day trip was truly the highlight of our visit to Florence. Our driver Marco was so kind and accommodating and professional. He recommended a beautiful winery where we had lunch and wine tasting.

Marco was amazing to deal with from the start. He was incredibly responsive to any and all inquiries we had about what we would experience on the tour. On the morning of the tour Marco promptly picked us up at 9am at the front door of our AirBNB. From there he took us to San Gimignano where we were given around one hour to walk around on our own. He was very accommodating with the pick up and drop off points at each location and provided some insights on things we should check out. From San Gimignano we were taken to a small winery (Sant’ Appiano) where we were given a short tour and then sat outside for a wine tasting and lunch. This was one of the most memorable parts of our trip and is worth the extra 60€ (which was paid in cash at the winery). Lastly we were taken to Siena where we had about and hour and a half. We found the time allotted in each location to be sufficient and not overly rushed. I would highly recommend this tour and Marco, and will certainly reach out to Marco again in the future for a tour if we are in the area.

caciaverelli

This is absolutely the best and most efficient way to see these cities in a short period of time. Marco, our driver, was incredibly helpful from picking us up outside our AirBnB and dropping us off literally at the gates to Siena and San Gimignano, to making a lunch reservation for us at an awesome restaurant, to giving us tips on how and what to see in a limited timeframe. Marco was professional and kind. He took a slight detour at the end of our day also so we could see the most amazing view of Florence from the Pizalle Michaelangelo. If you have anyone in your group who has mobility issues, or simply want to use your time the most efficiently definitely book this tour!
