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.

10/10 Day Trip! Amazing Experience - San Gimignano is truly my favorite place on Earth…breathtaking views and AMAZING gelato, and with this day trip we were also treated to an awesome lunch and wine tasting that was so much more fun than we expected it to be. Siena was the least exciting part, and even then, I have nothing bad to say about it; it’s a beautiful city and very worth seeing!

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.

Tour company lies about the maximum people on group tour. - The tour group was supposed to be maximum 10 people on the bus. There were 50 people. This seems to be a feature with City Wonders. We went on another tour to the Amalfi Coast, was supposed to be maximum 24 people, but the group had 50+ people packed into a bus.
