Fantastic day tour of Tuscany - Alessandro is a wonderful guide and touring with him has been one of the highlights of a fantastic vacation in and around Florence. He took us to Siena, Monteriggioni, and San Gimignano and showed us exactly what to visit, where to eat, and where to see the most beautiful views of the countryside. His knowledge of the towns and the region, and their history, is exceeded only by his friendliness and warmth. We would recommend him to anyone vacationing in Tuscany.

Siena and San Gimignanio - Alessandro was wonderful and very easy to communicate with. He was punctual and very kind. He made a fabulous recommendation for lunch and arrange for a very knowledgeable tour guide in Siena. He shared many interesting facts about the area and the history of where we went.
When we return to Florence we will most certainly book another tour with him.

Amazing day trip! - We had an amazing day trip from Florence with Alessandro. It was one of the best days of our vacation. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions about the area. All 3 stops were great to visit. We did lunch in Montegiorri at the restaurant Alessandro booked for us and it was excellent. I’d highly recommend a tour with Alessandro and am sure he’d customize the day however you’d like.

Magnificent Tuscan Tour! - Alessandro was wonderful giving the verbal parry of the tour in the very comfortable car. He was pleasant and happy and very personable. We enjoyed the organic farm lunch (highlight) with wine, olive oil, balsamic vinegar tasting. In addition to great pasta with marinara and wonderful cheeses and meats prior. He let us explore the town centers on our own where we shopped. “Alex” was the best!

A hidden gem of Toscana - Me and my son booked a day trip from Firenze to Siena and San Gimignano with Alessandro. It was truly an exceptional and memorable experience. Alessandro is the most thoughtful and wonderful as a guide and a delightful company. He paid attention to each of our needs and tried to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. Without a doubt when I am back in Tuscany I will book my future trips with him. This was the highlight of our trip to Tuscany. For anyone looking for an excursion around Tuscany I highly recommend his company

Perfect Day in Tuscany - Perfect day for an introduction to Tuscany. Alessandro communicated with me immediately and tailored our trip perfectly. I was traveling with my 20 something niece, son and his girlfriend and they wanted a wine tasting lunch. We decided on Siena, lunch at La Marronaia and then San Gimignano. He picked us up and drove us to Siena which was lovely to see and you didn’t need too much time. Lunch at the vineyard was absolutely lovely. The wines, antipasti and olive oils were delicious. The grounds and view are stunning. San Gimignano is magical and the views from the top can not be beat. Alessandro was so easy to spend the day with and picked the perfect day for us. We would absolutely recommend him.
