Great experience, loved San Gimignano! Would’ve loved more time there. Lunch was delicious. Fede and Alexandra were excellent guides. You get a taste of every place.

The tour guides, Freddy and Alexandra is excellent so as the driver Andrea. However, the group is mixed with Spanish speaking tourists, so we a total of 80 ppl in the luxury bus. The lunch option is ok, an appetizer, 3 wines tasting and a small portion of pasta meal. Dessert is Almond bisccoti with a glass of prosecco.

This tour was well planned and we were able to see a lot in one day. Lunch at the winery was a plus. Guide at Siena was fair at best.

A great day spent visiting three great locations in Tuscany. There is not much to see in Pisa other than the tower, but that part of the tour still felt a little rushed (I think due to leaving late waiting for stragglers at the start). The rest of the tour was amazing. Enjoyed the lunch option, that was fun. I recommend this tour.

We saw so much in 1 day and every stop was amazing. Be prepared to do lots of walking, but it’s worth it. Beautiful sights and the lunch was wonderful. Our guide was great! Highly recommend this tour!

This tour is a must! The scenery was absolutely beautiful. The guide, Aaron, did a great job explaining everything in a polite and enthusiastic way. He made everyone feel comfortable and welcomed.

All the towns were wonderful. We bought the package with lunch and a tour of Siena- you could do without it. Make sure you immediately get your ticket to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa. Otherwise, it gets extremely busy, and you won’t have time to go to the top.

Entire tour was great. Great sites and cities. The guide was great and the tour was well worth the money

This trip was too rushed and we hardly had any time in one place. We were not told you have to buy tickets for entry into the buildings at Pisa so again, there was not enough time to see the buildings. Sienna is beautiful but again, not enough time to see the Cathedral and explore the town itself.
