Tasty Intro to Tuscan Food and Wine! - We enjoyed our tour with knowledge and friendly Elio! We were a family of four, including two teenagers, one too young to enjoy wine... but Elio made sure he had a "tasting" of Italian sodas, which he loved! We spent the first hour in the Tuscan Wine School and tasted three wines, a variety of cheeses and 3-4 cured meats, as well as brushetta and crostini with olive tapenade. We also learned about and tasted quality olive oil and balsamic. Then we took to the streets for a traditional stuffed pizza and gelati. Elio helped us learn about labeling on the bottles and how to pick a quality product. He also helped explain the store signage too and how to tell if a product is made in-house. We immediately started using this information to begin purchasing products in Siena. The tour ended with a tasting of the traditional sweet wine, Vin Santo.

Yummy Intro to Siena - This was a fantastic tasting of wines and local bruschetta, cheese, and salumi, with a brief walking tour to try additional treats afterwards. It was a very enjoyable couple of hours. Highly recommend!

Salute Elio! - Elio explained the wines and food choices in fine fashion. All were excellent. We enjoyed our tour around the area with some history mixed in as well as the stuffed pizza. Well worth it! Kudos to Elio!

An education in wine and the town of Siena - The tour really help me appreciate some of the wines of Thea area. It was a good introduction to the Tuscany region and the different wines and different quality of wines that are offered. The tour also included a short tour around Siena and explained some really unique aspects of the different neighborhoods within the city. It was a really fun and enjoyable tour.

Great outdoor walking tour turned inside out on a rainy day - For a rainy day it turned out great. Elio and Georgia were great hosts. Elio has a great personality and is very knowledgeable. Pairings of meats and cheeses with wines was really good. We even got out a little bit for a bite of a local favorite…….Ciaccino. Then back for dessert and wine. Stayed pretty dry for a rainy day and we are completely satisfied and full from all the food we enjoyed. Thanks. Will recommend to friends

Highly recommend, fun and great information! - Highly recommend this tour! We came down from Florence and scheduled the night before. Elio was ready for us and we took off on a one hour tour around Siena. It was great to learn about the neighborhoods and overall history! Once back for the wine and food portion we settled in for another hour of history about the region and wines we were trying. Great information received for a two hour tour!

Savor Siena Tour is highly recommended - We spontaneously booked the Savor Siena tour (which was no problem, they where really helpful eventhough we booked last minute) and it was a great tour. We started with a wine tasting together with some cold cuts and cheeses. After that we went out on a tour of the town where Giorgia told us about the exciting history of Siena. After the tour we ended with some sweets and a great sweet wine. We can highly recommend this tour, everything about it was great and we also learned a lot. Giorgia was a great tour guide and you could really tell she has a lot of knowledge about the history of Siena and about the local wines, her passion was really inspiring and we loved her!

Great introduction to Siena ! - Georgia was our hostess and after starting us with wines of the area ,we walked about an hour around Siena stopping to sample meats, gelato, ciaccino ( great street food )! What a joy to walk through this old city and learn of the Contrade and the famous Palio horserace competitions.... I think Siena is my favorite small town in Italy ! Georgia was eager to share restaurant suggestions for our stay here !

Yummy! - The yioung lady (Ambra) was very well informed and brought a great sense of fun and humour to the experience. My only criticism is that I expected more of a tour of Sienna itself.
