Laura was an amazing guide! The whole group loved the tour especially her passion and knowledge about her town. This town is a must see part of any visit to Tuscany and Laura can really bring it to life for you.

Our guide Pamela was great! She was very informative and helpful. I think it was definitely overpriced for a 2 hour tour. It was $300 for my husband & I & that didn’t include transportation, food, entry into museums, etc.
