My wife and I had a wonderful time on this private Tuscan tour with our driver Francesco. Francesco was very warm and engaging and he did a great job driving in the comfortable minivan. He was knowledgeable on the area and history and never tired of answering my questions. The church in Siena was very beautiful and we enjoyed the large piazza. The lunch at the winery was great for both the food and the wine...we ended up purchasing wine from them. San Gimignano was very interesting and charming and the views over the Tuscan countryside were stunning. The drive back to Florence was also beautiful before we ended the day at Piazza Michelangelo with a great view over the city of Florence. This was an amazing day and we really appreciated seeing all the sights and enjoying our day with Francesco.

We had the best time with Francesco. He was a wonderful tour guide and driver for us. It was a rainy day and he greeted us at our condo door with umbrella's to get us to the tour van. We super enjoyed Sienna, Tenuta Guardastelle winery and San Gimignano. Francesco told us the secrets of each place we went and the best things to do or to try. You will have the best time and make the best memories on this tour.

The driver was fantastic. The car was clean and felt safe. The wine tour and lunch was amazing. I felt like it was a little misleading that there was no tour for Siena. That was very disappointing.

Keith_R

Gino was fantastic. Went to great lengths to ensure he got us as close to the attractions as possible because of my wife's mobility issues. Could not recommend more highly. Thankyou Gino.

I am soooo behind in posting this review, as we took this private planned tour on September 25th and it's now Ocotber 29th. But...I can NOT say enough wonderful things about Luigi. After finding his company on Trip Advisor, I had been working w/him via email since June in order to plan a more personalized private Tuscany tour that encompassed a combination of places. I was most concerned that all would be 'perfect', as I was planning this tour for not only me, but my best friend & her husband, who so graciously handled all the OTHER components to my amazing Italy trip. Suffice it to say that my silly worries of 'what might go wrong' never materialized. Luigi was the consummate host & tour guide! He continued to assure me that our plans would materialize just as I wanted. He arrived earlier than our 9:00 a.m. meeting time to pick us up in Plaza Santa Croce. His brand new Mercedes van was ever so comfortable. He played lovely music for us, and included some videos for us to watch as we drove, that captured the Tuscan region (Andrea Bocelli, Tuscany, etc). His knowledge and love for his beautiful country abounded. Our first stop was the Florence-American Memorial Cemetary...as he explained, gifted to the USA from Florence for American lives lost in WWII. It was incredible. We journeyed to Siena, gasping at the beautiful countryside en route. We enjoyed this lovely medieval town and it's outstanding cathedral. Next up was an awesome winery tour, lunch & tasting. Our last stop was to the town of San Gimingiano, another beautiful medieval town. It was a full day, returning to Florence at almost 6:00 p.m.My only regret was that we didn't get a photo with Luigi! Ah....but as he said, the memories will always be in our minds & hearts. THE BEST TOUR EVER! Grazie mille Luigi!!!! Il Tuo Amica, Alessandra :)

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our driver (Francesco) was very friendly, knowledgeable of the areas we visited, and provided safe & smooth transportation. We had a wonderful lunch and wine pairing at Sant'Appiano Winery. The staff there were very charming and friendly, especially Alex, who took great care with explaining the wine pairings and navigating my wife's dietary needs. The Super Tuscan wines we tried at their property were outstanding! The towns of Siena and San Gimignano rounded out the day nicely, and we enjoyed spectacular views of the Florence skyline from Piazzale Michelangelo upon our return. We highly recommend this private tour!

Well it started with great communication with Gino. Very quick to respond. Gino picked us up not too far from our apartment and was greeted with a smile. He first took us to an overlook with an amazing view of Florence in the background. From there the journey began. We asked a lot of questions he gave us a lot of answers. And I think this is what makes it a memorable experience. Ask questions. !!! We did have a little bit of a delay on the main Highway. Turned out it was a fatality accident and we were stuck. We made the best of it and had good conversation. Once we got past that Gino was very motivated to get us to see as much as we possibly could. First stop was Sienna, the main Square is definitely a sight learning a little bit of history and about the annual horse race they have in the Square. That would be something to see. Next stop was San Gimignano, another great location with Incredible views . Walked to the top of the hill and enjoyed a nice glass of Chianti. Last was the winery. All were terrific. We did feel a little pressure at the winery because we got there so late. Again no fault of anybody and we were understanding of that. On the ride home with the evening glow of sunset, Gino put on screen an Andrea Bocelli video recorded in a Tuscan Hills Amphitheater. A great way to end the day. Day dreaming, looking out the window of all the wineries and Vineyards. Wow this is Italy.

It was a very pleasant day trip and very informative. Francesco gave us lots of little insights throughout the tour. If you add the lunch and wine tasting - you will have a wonderful experience on a centuries old farm. The new owners (60 years ago) have done a fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome to their home.

From the moment I booked the trip, Gino was in contact with details and advice for the trip. When we met Gino the morning of the trip, he was friendly, polite and welcoming. The van he uses, is in perfect condition and impeccably clean. Gino is an excellent driver and he made stops at places we hadn’t expected but were fantastic for sites and views. Throughout the trip, Gino taught us the history of the area and the towns that we would be visiting. He was very flexible with the schedule. And having Gino was a benefit because of his intimate knowledge of the area and ability to get us close to the sites to minimize walking distances. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Italy and a lot of that had to do with Gino.

Francesco was a wonderful driver and guide for our day in Siena and San Giminagno. We especially enjoyed the Santa Appiano Winery and lunch.
