Fabulous Guide! - This was a very good tour but the most excellence goes to our guide Massimo. He was informative, knowledgeable and fun. The long drive seemed shorter because of all the information he provided along the way. He even had exceptional information about the wines we tasted and how to best enjoy them. He made this experience much more than 5 stars for my husband and me.

Much reccomended! 😁 - It was accurate tour, just as was promised. Massimo, our driver, was great to lift the spirits and to explain the surrounding. We had great time in Duomo di Siena and with the world champion jellato in San Gimigniano. The winery La Marronaia had an exellent view to make photos and we tasted wonderful proseco, vermencino and two chianties with some antipasta and various extravirgin oils. Every moment was wonderful.

The last stop of the tour was a quaint Organic Winery in the Tuscan Hills, what a lovely way to end the day.<br/> Thoroughly enjoyed this tour.</p>

Another fabulous trip! San Gimignano... - <p>Another fabulous trip! San Gimignano was by far my favorite town! Don't miss this! And the wine tasting at the vineyard is an amazing experience- very true to a Tuscan style! Loved everything about this trip and our guide, Luca, was also wonderful! He was so enjoyable, answered lots of questions, kept smiling all day long!</p>

History, Food & Wine: A Winning Trio - This full day tour was perfectly managed by our driver, Stefano and his partner in the other vehicle. We arrived at our destinations as promised, and were free to explore San Gimignano on our own. A little bit more time (and perhaps , a guide), would have been appreciated. Our time in Siena was excellent, and our guide Kieria, was full of informative and wonderful stories about the city, and her life there. The final stop at a nearby winery was terrific. We sampled excellent wine, and enjoyed a perfect light lunch overlooking the Tuscan country side.

Disappointed in Italy - I must say that my parents and I, as well as the rest of the people on the tour today were very disappointed that we only experienced one winery. The description says wine tasting in both Siena and San Gimignano and we only had the one tasting in San Gimignano. The time spent in Siena was wasting 2 1/2 to 3 hours before returning to San Gimignano for a short tasting with mediocre wine compared to what we have been experiencing. The olive oil tasting consisted of five bottles of olive oil and some balsamic being dropped at the table with little packets of bread. This was a birthday gift for my father and we all walked away very disappointed. Stephen was wonderful and we tipped him accordingly. We all felt very misled as to what our expectations were from the description of the tour compared to what we actually received. I would like to hear back as to what you would consider to be the fulfillment of your duties as the tour operator. Thank you and I’ll look forward to hearing back from you. Nancy Pope
