Was a great tour. Noemi was an excellent tour guide. San Gimignano and Siena were breathtaking. We could have done without Pisa to be honest as its quite dirty... but good to see nonetheless. This experience is a very long day! We left at 7:45am and got back at around 7:30pm. The tour was also ALOT larger than I expected. I would guess there were 50 people in our group. I would recommend this experience if you want to see lots of sites in a short amount of time.
Mano is the BEST tour guide we had with our Italy Vacation!

Manolo is very knowledgeable, detailed & organized, very accommodating and very friendly. He made our tour so much fun and educational. I would recommend using the same company to my friends and if there is a way to select the tour guide, it will definitely be Manolo. Also, Emilio’s an awesome, safe driver, the way he turns to the curve is unbelievable. Thank you Mano and Emilio! We had a great time.

It used to be very nice but recent restrictions for access to the beaches can be challenging during the winter months. The only access for the general public is in designated parking for a smaller portion of the beaches. Parking for a fee is available but restricted to 3 hours in town and carries a substantial fine of up to 500 dollars if the limits are exceeded. So a quick meal and limited shopping is all that is available. Side street parking used to be available which provided an escape from the crowded beaches where all visitors are now being funneled. It really too bad that the residents of Boca Grande whose homes occupy a significant portion of the island and from what I understand was the driving force for the parking restrictions.
Tuscany with Alessandro - yes please!

Book this trip! Lightning struck twice and we ended up with Alessandro as our tour guide again (he was our guide the day before to Cinque Terre). Again, he shared all his great knowledge of the area and really helped us appreciate the beauty of the land. Would definitely do this trip again!!!
Alessandro was the best...

Alessandro was the best tour leader we could have had. He is so knowledgeable, made the trip so much fun, and gave us tips and tricks about the city. This was such a wonderful tour and I would absolutely do it again, all thanks to Alessandro!!

The tour was very well organized. We were able to see all the towns and had a good lunch in the Tuscany farm. The tour guide Giancarlo was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, very engaging, and provided a lot of information about each town. He emphasized the meeting points and meeting times to us, and we all enjoyed a very smooth trip. He also suggested some great restaurants in Florence, that we visited afterwards. Really a very professional and likeable tour guide!
Excellent tour and learned so much from the guide. She was amazing!

This trip was absolutely perfect for experiencing the highlights of Tuscany in a single day - Siena, lunch at a vineyard, San Gimignano, and Pisa. Our guide Naomi was amazing. She did a wonderful job of explaining the history and culture, but also providing important context and personalization based on her experiences. It was fantastic. We had a guided tour in Siena with a local guide but not much free time there. We had the most free time in San Gimignano and Pisa. San Gimignano was by far the highlight of the trip and is not to be missed. It got a little dark later in the trip when we were in Pisa since we went in November but the guides made sure we saw everything during the daylight. Overall fantastic and would absolutely recommend and go again!
