Experience authentic Italian cuisine, comfortable transportation, and exceptional hosting with a friendly local on this tour!
We were fortunate to have Luciana as our guide—warm, kind, and funny, she shared a wealth of knowledge throughout the journey. Being the only two on the tour, traveling in the spacious Jaguar allowed us to relax and savor the drive.
I highly recommend taking the time to venture beyond the city and explore the breathtaking Italian countryside. In Sienna, dive into history as you wander through its hilly, cobblestone streets. The stunning churches and delectable tastings of special meats, cheeses, and sweets are a delightful prelude to the day.
Our next destination was Monteriggioni for a sumptuous lunch! Luciana expertly curated a diverse array of fresh, flavorful Italian dishes, accommodating our dietary needs, especially for those with celiac disease—no worries about cross-contamination here. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the charming museum, where you can even dress up as a knight, and browse through souvenirs from Assassin's Creed (Monteriggioni was its inspiration).
San Gimignano was a picturesque marvel! Indulge in the world's best gelato and explore a palace and local stores amidst the breathtaking scenery.
En route back, we paused at Michelangelo’s Square for stunning views across Florence, capturing memorable moments, including a snapshot with a Ferrari.
Normally a wine tasting is included but we asked to skip since I was feeling a little unwell.
This tour is outstanding value for money, every meal (including wine) and delight is expertly taken care of, making it incredibly reasonable considering the distance and all the inclusions.
We are immensely grateful for Luciana’s hospitality and kindness. Despite not feeling my best, her helpful tips throughout the day made a significant difference. Luciana is not only a fantastic storyteller but also a genuinely warm and funny host. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable journey!

The highlight was the delicious lunch at a local trattoria, showcasing the best of Tuscan cuisine. Luciana's seamless planning ensured ample time for exploration, allowing us to savor every sight and flavor.
In short, Luciana's tour is a must-do for anyone seeking a memorable journey through Tuscany's treasures. Grazie mille, Luciana, for an unforgettable experience!
