I don't know what the guide says, I don't know English, but it was a really great trip. There's so much free movement. - You can really experience the extraordinary! All the scenery is truly picturesque. You definitely should go. Bus tours are so much easier.

History matters, wisdom... - History matters, wisdom can be learned from the past. Tuscan people are great builders and are disciplined, a great part of the Western civilization reveals this and some of its best contribution is cultivation of the vines and most precious arts.

A great tour - This tour was so enjoyable, the towns are beautiful and the experiences were well planned and did not feel rushed. Vanessa was our tour guide, it was a joy to spend the day with her. She made sure we all had a good time, the sweetest guide I have ever met! I highly recommend this tour, the towns are not easily accessable by train, so being in a small bus tour is the best way to enjoy the area and see many places in one day.

Wine, castles and wheat fields. Couldn’t ask for a better day. - 3 glasses of wine for breakfast already made it 11/10 for me. The places we visited were fantastic and never felt too rushed to get around them. Great food and great wine all around. The icing on the cake was being able to release my inner Maximus in the wheat fields of Pienza.

Tuscan Castles - An amazing experience through the Tuscan country side. The sights are incredible, the food is delightful, and the medieval towns visited transport you to the past. Our only complaint was that, while our guide was kind and knowledgeable about local specialties and food, we were hoping for a more in depth historical background on the sites we were visiting. All and all a great experience!
