A perfect day! - We had a wonderful time! Both Siena and San Gimignano are beautiful and interesting cities with much to see and enjoy. Lunch with wine tasting was amazing and delicious. Alessando is very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of information about each site. He put together a perfect outing for us. I highly recommend this experience.

A true 5 star day! - I spent a full day with Alessandro and we had the best time. The sights were incredible and he made it so much more fun and interesting by pointing out (the many) things along the way. Plus he was able to answer every time I pointed out the window and said “what’s that?” Being such a small group, we were able to be spontaneous and venture off the beaten path. We stopped in Monteriggioni and had one of the best meals of my entire 2 weeks in Italy.

Best day trip from Florence! - The whole experience was lovely- starting even before we arrived, with Alessandro reaching out to make sure the plan matched what we were looking for. We learned a lot about the locations we were visiting from Alessandro, and he had helpful suggestions for sights and foods to consider in each place. The lunch at the farm was lovely and we got to experience a lot, but were never rushed. Perfect day!

Great private tour - I decided not to rent a car on this trip, but I still wanted to see some of these beautiful medieval hill towns. I decided on a private tour so I could go at my own pace, and I am very happy I did. Alex with Unique Tuscany was an excellent driver, very friendly and helpful. I saw both Volterra and San Gimignano and had a good amount of time to wander around and get a taste of each town. Alex also shared some interesting historical facts and background about the towns which I really enjoyed. If you, like me, decide not to drive but don't care for large group tours, I highly recommend a private tour with Unique Tuscany.

He is the best! - Alessandro took us on a private trip to Volterra and San Gimignano with a fabulous lunch/EVO/Balsamic/wine tasting at Podere Marronaia in between. He was most kind, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the trip, and we recommend him highly.?We will also use him for future trips in Tuscany when we are back.
