When a friend and I booked this excursion, we both were under the impression that it was including visiting the city of Tuscany. However, when a third friend told us that his excursion included a wine tasting and it was several hours longer. We compared the two excursions and though they are titled the same, his offered an extension that ours did not. When we tried to add the extension, it wasn’t available. I would strongly recommend to title them differently, so there’s no confusion.
Ok tour

This was a nice tour. It was difficult to hear our guide as he spoke with an extremely strong accent and a very quiet voice. This was difficult for all four of us. We did see many good sites.
