It was a really nice day, but a long drive, 3 hours each way for 350 euros. The person driving the car did not give us any information explaining really about the towns visited. We also did not follow the itinerary that was given by viator. The tour was cut short by about 2 hours. Viator should not list an expensive tour and then not have their employee follow the itinerary, especially that it was only the two of us. I feel a partial refund should be given back to me. Do not book this tour if you can go to each of these places by train or bus on your own.

We were picked up at our hotel and whisked away on a lovely trip to Tuscany. Serena, our guide, gave us ample freedom to do whatever we wanted, along with her pointing out all the beauty along the adventure. We stopped for coffee prior to San Gimignano. Serena helped us navigate the coffee shop. San Gimignano was beautiful. We walked the streets, went to shops, as Serena navigated. So beautiful. Next, was a light lunch and wine tasting. The grounds were unbelievable. Like every Tuscan picture. The wine was nice, along with the lunch. Everyone at the winery was so kind and attentive. Final stop was Siena. Wow! So much history all right in front of us. Serina gave us whatever information we desired. She was so flexible and accommodating. It was a long day, but one we will not forget.

The drive was about 3-hr long from Rome but worth seeing both places. I wanted to take this trip, to get a taste of the different towns, although rushed because there were schedules to follow, first Sienna, then San Gimignano and then wine tasting. Now seeing the towns I do want to stay longer the next time…Thank you to Fabio and our driver (I apologize, I forgot his name) for being so professional and on schedule.

This was a trip wanted by the mother in law. Siena history about the districts and the horse race is very interesting as well as the old mid evil architect. You are then whisked away to wine tasting and different types of Brochette. Loved the wind and food and our winery guide was excellent and nice. Ordered bottles to be delivered to home in the US. Then went to San Gimignano, again nice history and mid evil architect. recommend this trip

<p>Siena, San Gimignano and a great truly Italian meal how can you go wrong. We had a guide and a driver which makes it handy not worrying about parking. The views at San Gimignano are incredible. This has now become our favorite village in Italy.</p>

Siena é linda....cidade medieval. É possível fazer um bate e volta de Firenze, mas não vá de ônibus. Tomei o ônibus na Stazione de Pullman que fica perto da estação de trem. Os ônibus atrasam para sair (40 minutos) ..o trajeto demora 1h e 45 minutos......compre ida e volta...para voltar você pega o ônibus no mesmo local que desceu, mas chegando em Firenze ele para a 1,7km do local de partida e sem explicação nenhuma...só te falam que lá é a última parada. Te deixam em local vazio ..repleto de pessoas estranhas e ainda você é obrigado a passar dentro de um túnel escuro se o seu hotel for no centro de Firenze. ABSURDO!!! Siena é repleta de lojas e restaurantes. Muitos turistas por lá. A Piazza del Campo é uma praça histórica...onde foram filmados vários filmes. Lá fica a torre e o Palazzo Público. Vale a visita!!!
