Thank you for a nice day and trip:) The Ciao Florens team was well organized and with positive energy. Without a driving license I wouldn't be able to visit San Gimignano and taste wine in Chianti.

Excellent experience on the Florence to Siena tour. Our guide Igna stood out for his professionalism, kindness and punctuality as well as Giancarlo driver. Although it was many hours, the day does not get heavy. The cathedral of Siena inside beautiful and the village of San Gimignano very picturesque. Visit highly recommended.

Yesterday we enjoyed a full day in Tuscany thanks to the team of Sara, Luca and Luciano. Sara explained in detail throughout the day each of the places we were going to visit, the planned activities and recommendations. Luca, it made the journey very comfortable. I am easily dizzy on any means of transport and was afraid to ride on the top back of a bus. Everything was perfect. And Luciano formed the perfect tandem with his teammates. I hope you are encouraged to live a guided experience during your next getaway to Tuscany.
