Tour with Sandro! - Sandro was an incredible tour guide, from 7:30am to 6pm he was jovial, personable, and ensured we were all safe and having an incredible time! Free time in each city was perfect, and the wine tasting and lunch were absolutely amazing (and it gave us the opportunity to befriend people on our trip)! Highly recommend this tour!

A must do if you want a fantastic day tour. - Aaron and Ferdinand took us on a fantastic full day tour! Touring through the streets of medieval villages, eating the world’s best gelato, learning the history and architecture of Siena, all made for a long but enjoyable and rewarding day. Aaron’s ability to fluently and almost seamlessly switch between Italian, English, French and Spanish allowed him to easily entertain and educate everyone on the tour! Lunch was lovely and light, perfect for our very hot day! Thank you such a great tour!

Excellent locations - Tour was excellent but you cannot pick your fellow participants. Bit over entitled, loud & rude aged Americans. Still the same old issues with this crowd. Lime children free airplanes, American free tours

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tour - Excellent tour!! The 3 towns visited were very beautiful and charming. The winery tasting and lunch was spectacular! The bus was very comfortable and the bus driver Enrico and our tour guides Lisa and Fabina were great and very informative. Lisa kept our group very well organized at all times. A must do tour, one of the top tours I’ve experienced so far.

San Gimignano and the winery were the highlights - We were really looking forward to this tour and really enjoyed the first stop in San Gimignano, and wished we had more time there. The stop at Monteriggioni was short, but not much time was needed there. When we got back to the bus, they were having to make some repairs to it. Also, the bus squeaked the entire ride, which was kind of annoying. Hopefully they get a new bus. We really loved the stop at the winery, and that entire experience was wonderful, and I could have stayed there longer! The time spent at Sienna was way too long (3 hours). We had seen all we could see in 2 hours, and were ready to get back. We didn't feel like the guides on the tour did much of anything. They basically just rode the bus with us and then told us when to meet back at each location... I would probably pay a little more next time and go with a smaller more intimate tour.

Awesome day, fun and informative - This was a great day and Aaron the guide was awesome. The wine tour a big hit. I'd have liked to spent a little more time in San Gimignano and less in Siena, otherwise it was a great day.

Beautiful Tuscan hilltop towns. - Beautiful towns, good tour guides. Did not like wine tasting. Heavily marketed and a bit rushed. But overall, good tour.
