Great day! - This was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a day trip to Siena and San Gimignano but not a tour with lunch at a winery, etc. I just wanted to do my own thing in both places but not deal with the logistics. We got 2 1/2 hours of free time in each spot with lots of recommendations on what to see, On the bus, the guide sent us Google maps links so we could easily mark the sites. Meeting spots at each location were very clear, both the guide and the driver were super nice, highly recommend.

An excellent tour - An ideal experience for us. They picked us up in a comfortable and modern bus and took us to San Gimignano. We were dropped off at one of the village gates and had 2 1/2 hours to explore as per our wishes - before leaving the bus Alessandra, our guide had sent us by Whatsapp a list of attractions and an audio guide of the place which was very helpful. Then they picked us up and took us to Siena and again left us 2 1/2 hours to explore. Again Alessandra left us visiting notes and an audio guide. A warning - for the characteristics of Siena they have to leave visitors 20 minutes from the center but the walk is by pedestrian streets. Both San Gimignano and Siena are worth visiting and this tour seemed like the perfect way to do it.

San Gimignano and Siena - It was a wonderful trip to San Gimignano where I bought some beautiful photos from Claudia at Foto Fontanelli. The gelato was fabulous and Siena was beautiful too. The Siena Cathedral is beautiful. Great Driver and Tour Guide too!

Simple, practical, basically transportation - It's a very simple ride. A small bus. A guide that barely speaks. 3 hours in Gomigniano (fabulous, surround the walls x inside, everyone is walking down the central street) and 2 hours in Siena (enough x that one is tired ) It's a little expensive. But the time you save by going x your account is worth it.
