Highly recommend this tour. - Full day tour of Siena, San Gimignano and lunch at a winery. Definitely worth a day trip from Florence. Could spend even more time in Siena if possible. Sam Gimignano is a fascinating hilltop town. Lunch at the winery was great - accompanied by 5 different wines. Tour guide provide just enough information to keep it interesting and sent us in the right direction when we had our own time. Lots to see on this tour so important to be punctual.

Brilliant experience with great guides and good value. - Lovely, small trip meaning you got to talk to others. Amazing guide and the walking tour guide in Siena was great! The winery was brilliant with fabulous wine and food. Even the teens were allowed to try, if they wanted. Really good value. It was a very hot day when we went and there often isn’t much shade so make sure you have hat, fan, sun cream and lots of water! The air conditioned coach between each stop was very welcomed. Would recommend.

Perfect Tuscan Day - Our tour leader Nathan was both funny and knowledgeable. He added many extra tips during the drive which our group appreciated. Our tour guide in Sienna, Lucia, was very clear spoken and gave the group a lot of interesting and fun facts. Excellent experience! Our winery lunch was delicious and enjoyable.

Beautiful places to visit - Been on this trip today and it was great. Siena is stunning. We had a wine tasting experience included which was nice but it would have been nice to have had more time there. Unfortunately in San Gimignano we had a lot of rain and thunder so didn’t get the same opportunity to see this beautiful place or stay too long like we did with Siena. It’s such a shame but a trip that was well worthwhile. We had Mario for our driver who was great and Renato our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, caring and really looked after us. Have learnt a lot and so glad we did this day trip. Thank you Renato and the team 🙂

Just okay - It was hard to understand the guide. When we were served lunch, no one explained what we were eating. We tried to guess but couldn’t. Scenery was nice.
