A brilliant Allround experience. - Absolutely wonderful. Our guide Guliano was amazing. Charming, helpful and caring. He took extra care with a traveller who had mobility issues, dropped her off closer to the venues and even arranged a taxi for her at the end of Trip. Lunch was delicious and generous, wines were great and plentiful. Could not recommend this trip and company highly enough. Even when the highway back to Florence was blocked by a major accident he and the driver, Gianni, worked the phones to find an alternative route. So glad we chose this group, well worth the cost

Great Tour! Would book again. - We had an amazing day out. Small group, maybe 14 of us roughly. Antonio gave us really a nice history of each place before we arrived at the location so that we had as much time as possible to explore. We managed to see the cathedral in Sienna and had the most beautiful lunch in San Gimignano at a restaurant recommended by Antonio. The wine tasting and wild boar tasting was a nice touch we even bought some things to take home. John Carlo our bus driver got us to each location safely despite the weather being heavy rain. We were so glad we booked this tour as it was so stress free and relaxing. Antonio took time to speak to everyone individually and take into account what the interests of the group were. Would happily book again.

Tuscany - San Gimignano was surprisingly the nicest part of the trip. Maybe because we got to go shopping! I actually didn’t know anything about that place when I booked and booked to see mainly Pisa. The tour guide Rinata was AMAZING. Thank you for a fun full day!

Beautiful Trip - Firstly, Renata was amazing. I’ve read reviews of guides not saying much and just dropping everyone off. Renata was very informative and kind. She gave the option of walking with her to see her favourite parts of the towns. You could go have your free time, instead, but her mini tours were great. Secondly, we booked the trip to go to Pisa, but it was probably our least favourite of the three areas. San Gimignano was spectacular. The views were unbelievable in this medieval town. And, it also has the two time winner of best ice cream in the world. The trip is a must do

Good transport, but don't take if you expect a guided tour - The convenience of the bus transportation was the positive aspect of this tour. The guide was fairly useless. Very little comments prior to getting to the cities, either on the bus or in the town. A stop was made for cheese and wine tasting at a store in San Gimignano. A snide comment overheard from one of the other travelers was questioning what her kick-back was from this shop. We took the tour for the transport to the various towns that we could not accomplish on our own. For this, it was worth it. But I don't think the guide spoke about the towns for more than 15 minutes in total. Keep it in mind that this review refers to our guide. Another guide may give more explanations.
