Get to know Tuscany, an AMAZING tour, places and tour guide! - The tour was simply PERFECT! We started the day with a perfect sunny weather, our tour guide was Sandro and he was A MA ZING!! So cheerful and you can just sense and he transmits, that he loves what he does, and that he loves and knows the places and local people as well! The places are beautiful, the wine and the food delicious, you have PLENTY of time to discover the places by your own. Don't think it twice, you are absolutely not going to regret it (and better if Sandro is your guide, and I don't want to leave aside our driver Gennaro, because he got us safe and on time to all the locations!) TOTALLY recommend this tour!

Amazing tour with Sandro - This tour is absolutely incredible. Recommend doing it earlier in the day because the afternoon gets extremely busy with tour groups and it becomes harder to get clear pictures. The vineyards and countryside are breathtaking and the winery and tastings were an added bonus. The guided tour in Siena is well worth it and the town is rich in beauty and history. Sandro the tour guide was fantastic spoke multiple languages and made everyone feel like family. Can’t recommend this experience enough

What a lovely experience exploring new places with a wonderful guide! - I loved wondering around San Gimignano! The town has a fairytale look and it was just beautiful! Our experience wine tasting was so fun and so many interesting elements to see and learn about. The lunch was perfect and delicious. This was my first time to experience wine tasting and it will never be forgotten. I loved Siena despite the rain, it did not dampen our experience. Our guide was so informative as she gave the history of this little town. The cathedral was grandiose! Our guide, was delightful, fun and full of history for the area. She made us love every minute. The bus driver did an amazing job and made us very comfortable in this great bus, on this great trip.

Missing Monteriggioni… - I have done this tour 4x with this same company and waited to take this tour again with my new husband this time. Everything was wonderful - we opted to come during the slow season to avoid crowds of people. However, my only complaint is that Monteriggioni was closed for the winter so we did not visit that location. They could have let us have that extra time in Siena, where things were rushed & chaotic due to the crowds of people there for the Christmas market. We ended up arriving back in Florence over an hour early.

Tour of Tuscany - The ride itself was great! It's worth seeing. By the time of year, there was no Monteriggioni. In Siena, it is worth taking the tour with the Cathedral, which is stunning and has a guide specific only to the city of Siena. The lunch was in a very nice winery, but the wines with salty prices and the lunch was a penne a bolonhesa.

The food of the excursion was not very good and also scarce. - It's nice San Gimigniano and Siena, and the guides were good and friendly, giving explanation of everything... When it was winter we didn't see Monteriggioni. Nor could we enjoy the vineyards and the Tuscan landscapes. Lunch in Chianti was lax, and wine tasting more than regular.
