Great experience and enjoyed every bit of it. Tony was great! Just a fabulous time on first trip to Tuscany
Tony, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw so many wonderful sights— Sienna, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano. The winery was excellent.
What an amazing day! This tour was the perfect combination of guided and self directed exploration. All the towns are different and worth seeing, and the lunch at the winery was 10/10! Antonello was a wonderful guide.

Toni was wonderful! The day trip was absolutely beautiful, we had no issues at all, and he was very knowledgeable!
Ned did a fabulous job! Would go again.
It was a wonderful and pleasant experience. We joined the group from Rome with the meeting point at Florence. So we needed to travel by an early train by ourselves from Rome to Florence. We have never taken any train by ourselves in Italy before. However, the company has been very supportive giving us detailed instructions and advices.They also checked in with us that morning. It was a smooth experience from Rome to the meeting point in Florence. We had a wonderful experience on the day. Our guide Antonelle provided us good service, knowledgable and customer centric. We enjoyed the wine tasting and lunch, which was held in a beautiful vineyard. The few stops on the itinerary offered beautiful scenery or unique medieval vibes. We were glad that we have taken this trip.
Tony our guide was amazing. Full day of touring the Tuscany region. Great wine tasting, gelato, and scenery. Highly recommend this tour and especially Tony!!!
Valentina was such a wonderful tour guide! Very knowledgeable, and super friendly! The tour itself was amazing, very glad to stop at so many locations within Tuscany, all within one day!
