    My husband and I chose to do a day trip outside of Florence to see a few extra places without the added stress of organizing all the minor details ourselves. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and would highly recommend this!

    Overall we truly enjoyed our experience. Personally, we would have liked to have more time in Monteriggioni and (especially) San Gimiagnano, even if it meant less time in Sienna. Our guide was great and the bus was very comfortable.

    A good day spent in the Tuscany. Tour guide is attentive & spoke fluently in 2 languages. Small suggestion - reduce 1hr in Siena so that we can reach San Gimignano before it gets dark

  • Day long torture 😕

    Tour was in 3 languages though we booked English. It was a torture to listen to the same story and waiting for your turn. The guide seemed tired and lacking enthusiasm, we barely learned anything about the history of the region etc. Disappointing experience :(

  • Great itinerary

    Sebastian was amazing, giving loads of information throughout the day (switching seamlessly between 3 languages!). Combining Sienna, San Gimignano and Monteriggione into one day provides plenty to see and do without spending so much time on a bus. They provided the option for a group lunch at a prearranged restaurant. It was one of the best pasta dishes of our 7 days in Tuscany.
