Great guided tour! I highly recommend this one. It is well organized and will give you an opportunity to enjoys Tuscany. The tour is set up in smaller groups, which is better that your typical over crowded tours. The guides and drivers are amazing. They will explain the history of the towns and walk you to the important locations. Also, You will have plenty of time on your own at the different stops to take pictures, get some souvenirs or some gelato. The Lunch at the winery was great. The antipasto plate with pecorino, salami and other Italian cold cuts and breads is great. The ragú pasta was amazing! Also, you get to taste some very good wine, olive oil and balsamic vinagre. Make sure your cellphone is fully charge, the views are amazing and you will take a list of pictures.

Amazing trip, Siena was beautiful and lunch was amazing. Wish we had a bit more time in each town to fully explore but our guide Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable. Especially enjoyed that we were a small group. Would recommend!

It was an amazing day. Loved the visit to the winery, also Siena and San Gimignano were towns we not have been able to visit without a car so this tour was a perfect choice. The fact that they use small vans helps you get around more quickly and efficiently. The lunch was terrific and the wines delicious. All around amazing day out in Tuscany.

Our tour guide was amazing and very personable and knowledgeable. Siena was beautiful and the winery served delicious food and wine that they produce.

We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion. It was a small group of 14 which made it manageable and easy to get around. We got a lot of information from our tour guide and found the various sites to be beautiful and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting, and we're surprised at the pairings with food that were offered. We loved having the opportunity to purchase some of our favorites to have them shipped home as well.

Our tour guide, Ischmal, was very knowledgable, organized, and pleasant to be with. It was relaxed, but he kept us moving along so we wouldn't miss anything. He also let us have a little time on our own to explore and purchase a few things in Siena and San Gimignano. The group was a little large (16) but we really enjoyed everyone in the group. It was a very full and beautiful day and a great way to spend my birthday!

The trip was so much fun! I loved seeing the country side of Italy, and learning about all of the small towns. The winery experience was incredible! I only wish we would have had a little more time in each town to explore. Giada our guide was fantastic, and our drivers were excellent!

Heike_R

Took this tour with my daughter. Great places to visit! Interesting history. - wish there would have been a bit more guiding / info regarding the history and churches. Absolutely loved the wine and food tasting. -beautiful vineyard and great hosts! Our group was in 2 separate vans with 1 guide in only one of the vans. Not sure how informative that van was, but in our van the bus driver didn’t explain anything ( other than the US cementsry). Wish there would have been a bit more interaction. Other than that, it was a wonderful day and we enjoyed it a lot! We would definitely do it again! Stephanie was a great guide and easy to understand!
