From the moment we met him, he made us feel so welcomed and at home, creating such a warm and fun atmosphere throughout the entire experience. Even with the rain, we truly enjoyed every stop! Siena, San Gimignano, the incredibly winery, and Pisa. Each place was breathtaking and made for an unforgettable day. The food and the wine were an absolute cherry on top!

Expect free time in the towns, with a Siena walking tour and cathedral entry available only on selected options. Guide teams vary; past departures have included Sandro, Ricardo, Marta and Ilaria.

“Other reviews are correct- this is not a guided tour. However, I liked how we are on our own in each city rather than having to keep up with a guide and large group. Hilary was very sweet and gave us information about each city before exiting the bus. The winery was just a tasting experience (4 wines) with lunch. I thought they gave us a lot of food: bruschetta, meats, cheese, a full portion of pasta with ragu, and biscotti. Personally I was full after it. The employees there were very energetic and fun. Be prepared for a lot of walking. Uneven streets and hills. This tour is not…”

Thanks to Chris especially for being our main guide, giving us recommendations on what to eat and all the knowledge and humour he provided along the trip.

We had a big group and our tour guy Constantino did a great job keeping a group that big together and on time. He also did the entire tour in 3 languages which is pretty impressive… I know some people when they select one language they expect to get only that language. It didn’t bother use but def something to…”

My favorite part was definitely the wine tasting. My husband and I will always remember this as a core part of our trip to Florence.”
