  Very enjoyable tour but PLEASE fix the speakers on the bus. While Luca was telling us about the places, you could t understand anything because the sound was so bad. Everything else was enjoyable, especially San Gimignano.

• Don't go in winter if you want to see Pisa in daylight

  If you're going on this tour primarily for Pisa and you're going during winter, I would consider going with another company. They chose to make Pisa the last stop (even though the itinerary has it listed in reverse) which means we got there after sunset at around 5:15 and the complex was already dark. The front of the tower was lit up but it was hard to make out details and there was a glare from the spotlights in my pictures. The rest of the complex was mostly unlit. Moreover, because we got there so late, tickets to the Cathedral were already sold out so we couldn't go inside even though besides the tower, this was the main highlight of the complex. Even the tour guides highly recommend we go inside but again, we couldn't. The other thing was we had been walking all day (I think I had walked 7 miles by then) so even though I would have normally climbed the tower, I was too tired at that point. If this had been in the morning, I definitely would have climbed it. Siena was a highlight of this tour. I did the guided tour and our tour guide was super nice and knowledgeable, and it was very cool to be immersed in the history there. San Gimignano was...fine; cool to see briefly but there was really nothing there but shops and no one to direct us to any points of interest or explain any notable history. The winery was also just fine but like San Gimignano, it felt like we spent too long there when we could have gotten to Pisa sooner. Instead of having some guy sell me wine for an hour, I would much rather prefer seeing Pisa with some daylight and possibly even be able to go into the Cathedral.

• Lots of History, little hospitality!

  We were on a large tour bus with others that spoke different languages. The guide would explain in 3 different languages which were difficult to understand. All instruction was given on the bus and was unclear at times. The local guide in Sienna was also difficult to understand. We had almost no interaction with the guide after checking in. The trip was packed full of history and information but a little guidance within the city would have been helpful. There was a lot of walking. The wine experience was great, food was good but overall a sales pitch to get you to buy wine.

• Good for someone with limited time in Tuscany.

  Great tour - Emma, Patricia and Claudio did a fantastic job!! I travelled with my husband and our 2 teenage kids. Our day trip started in Siena with 1&1/2 hour of walking tour (I don’t remember the walking tour guide name but she was fantastic too). We then stopped at a winery and had an excellent time tasting wines and had a great lunch too! Next stop was San Gimignano - another beautiful town on top of hill and with cool views of Tuscan country side. Last stop was Pisa - it was close to sunset, as it’s December, but still got good pictures. Overall I think it was money well spent for me and my family. We could not spend more than 2 days in Florence and with this day trip we at least got a chance to see 3 additional towns in Tuscany.

• Highly recommend this tour and our guides
