A great tour with very knowledgeable and lovely guide, Laura. She also gave helpful tips for navigating Rome. Lunch is very filling and they give you a lot of wine!
Laura is an excellent tourguide who is overflowing with historical knowledge and fun anecdotes. I was traveling solo and noticed she quietly went out of her way to look out for me!
Excellent itinerary, reasonable pricing, amazing guide (Chiara)
Excellent tour and well worth the money! Giovanni was very friendly and knowledgeable, not only of the regions we visited but of the wines we tasted as well! The only downside to this tour, was I couldn't purchase any of the wines we tasted, because they would have taken up too much space in my luggage. But, overall, well worth the trip!! Remember, you only live once; book the tour!!
Great experience! A great way to see the different towns of Tuscany. We spent the right amount of time at each place and really learned about each town! Laura was a great guide and gave great suggestions. The driver Luca was also great! Great day!
Our guide, Laura. was amazing, and our driver, Cesar, made the trip even more enjoyable!a I would highly recommend this trip for anyone that has a day that they would like to go out exploring.
Very nice excursion. Guide Anna and driver Fabrizio were up to the task. Nice towns and surroundings, as well as a good lunch with wine tasting. I recommend!
It was an amazing experience. Tuscany and Montepuciano is just breathtaking. I wish someone would have warned us about the steep hills and all of the walking but we made due. It really was a great experience. Just tons of walking up hills.
Great itinerary with a good variety of stops in the Tuscan countryside. We had a great time (and also appreciated some cooler weather given the really hot days in Rome in July!). The wine tasting and pasta demonstration were very abbreviated, just a couple quick minutes and no discussion about which wines pair with which foods, etc., possibly because our group was almost 50 people (too large in my opinion) - so anyone wanting more education about either, this is not the tour for that. But overall would recommend this tour to get a good one day taste of Tuscany.
Heather, our guide, was wonderful-she was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and made the whole experience FUN! And she was super organized. We were right on time for everything!
