Great Excursion - Driver was fun. Good sense of humor; Can't recall his name (he is a Brit who relocated to Italy.) Siena was nice, San Gimignano and Montefrigironi (sp) were terrific. Great trip; great value.

Siena and San Gimignano Tour Outstanding - Great Driver for the day (Paul) who was super informative and put together a great to a local winery at lunch. Our guide in Siena (Maria) was very well informed and did a great job showing us the city and explaining all of its treasures.

Good Side Trip - We were on a Perillo tour highlighting Venice, Florence, and Rome. We spent the better part of a day in Siena and enjoyed the tour very much. The Cathedral was beautiful. The square was a great place to spend the afternoon.

We were able to fit one in at the spur of the moment but we ran over time and were charged an additional 70E for the time.</p> <p>The driver was very nice and eager to please but his English wasn't great.</p>

We had a wonderful time touring... - <p>We had a wonderful time touring beautiful Siena and San Gimignano with our incredible driver, Roberto, in his luxurious Mercedes SUV. Roberto was prompt and professional, but warm, informative, funny and gracious too. We chose a private tour so my mother, who has difficulty walking, could really enjoy some sightseeing and this worked out beautifully. In Siena, we were met my Monica who gave us a comprehensive tour of the city and magnificent Duomo. Roberto called ahead for lunch reservations at the Bel Soggiorno in San Gimignano, and we had a delicious meal with an unforgettable view. We had enough time to then explore the city on our own. On our return, Roberto made a special side trip so that we could pay our respects at the US military cemetery located outside of Florence. A great experience and absolutely worth the price.</p>

The driver was very nice but probably could increase his knowledge so that he could point out interesting things during the trip. San Gimignano - it was too short and without a guide we were a bit lost as to what we could do. It was really busy too.</p>
