Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a welcome drink before setting off on a guided tour of the estate and its historic wine cellars, where you’ll uncover the traditions and techniques behind Tuscan winemaking.

Good efficient tour which hit all the key spots. Tour guide, Alessandro, was great although a little more information at each stop would be appreciated.
Worth experiencing. They covered three main touristic spots near to siena. Wine tasting experience was nice.
The Siena,Chianti and San Gimignano day trip tour is awesome. The tour leader Rosa is very friendly and helpful. We would recommend the tour. The Maltese girls 😊

In my home country of Australia you can get Olive Oil, Italian wine, and Balsamic Vinegar from the local supermarket but I would never had known what makes "real" Chianti wine, Balsamic Vinegar or Olive Oil if I hadn't taken this tasting tour! Very informative and the towns were a delight! Would have been 5 star if the tasting had included one of their premium wines. Our guide Elena was great!

My husband and I along with about 40 other travelers were trapped inside a burning bus for what seemed to be an eternity. Bus doors would not open, we couldn’t get out, as the bus filled with smoke. The bus driver said the fire extinguisher was empty! This was one of the most terrifying and life threatening experience both my husband and I have had. Why didn’t Viator, and Trip Advisor have a set procedure to make sure all busses, and vehicles used in their tours are checked for emergencies? Better training for their drivers and tour guides for emergency procedures are needed. Apparently no one was hurt after breathing the toxic fumes and possibly suffering psychological damage. Some tour participants reported leaving items on the bus, in their haste to escape, which were of course lost in the extreme heat. We hope this review helps to effect change in safety procedures for tour companies.
Dear Customer, We are deeply sorry for this kind of issue that we had with the bus during the tour of which you were part of, because it was really unexpected for us being that we have never faced this kind of problem before. We think you understand that this kind of problems may happen very rarely and feel really bad it happened on our tour, and we want to apologize on behalf of our team. The information you provided will be taken into consideration by our team to help and lead us to improve our services and be able to always provide a better service to our customer. Hoping to see you again on our tours to have the possibility to leave a better impression on you. Best regards, My Tour Team
My husband and I had not been on a tour like this before. The schedule was to glorious places that will stick in our minds forever. It was a bit fast and we foumnd we got round but felt a bit rushed. Cannot fault the tour guides who were very efficient but hated the constant commentary in the bus and could have left the winery out but still it was an interesting experience and I must have learnt a lot!
Dear Customer, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review. We are happy to know that you have a good experience with us. Greetings from MyTourStaff

In this tour from Siena we were attracted by the possibility to combine the testing of Chianti wines with the visit to UNESCO medieval San Gimignano town. And we got what we were waiting for. Our guide was perfect. The Chianti products presentation was well done. As for the tour plan, we should make comments: - the tour plan at the Viator site starts in San Gimignano, then comes the Poggio ai Laghi winery and final walk in Castellina; - however, we got the inverse order and had only one hour in San Gimignano at the sunset time giving pleasant surrounding views, but hiding town interiors. Probably, the tour should be one hour longer and earlier with the announced order of sites. San Ginignano is worth at least an hour and a half. The list of tasting wines should be increased (we had only 3, including only 1 red Chianti). Anyway, we enjoyed the tour and recommend it to other lovers of Toscana history, nature and wines.
We had an amazing time in Siena, on the lunch and wine tasting and in San Gimignano. Our host Lorenzo was a great guide and we learned a lot. Warm suggestions.
Dear Customer, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review. We are so grateful for your kind words. Lorenzo is an amazing tour leader and we are happy to have him as part of our team ! Hope to see you again in our tours :) Warm regards, My Tours Staff
