Very good excursion to visit these two cities - Very good excursion to discover Siena and San Gimignano.
The letizia guide explained the information to know for each city in several languages (English, German, French and Spanish) and was available to accompany us to visit the city with her and answer our questions if needed or leave us free.
The weather in each city is very good to have time to stroll without rushing.

Great memories - This was a fantastic excursion. I’d recommend just Sienna and staying there longer rather than splitting the day between 2 locations. Siena was really fabulous.
The tour guides made it very enjoyable. We definitely had our own free time to explore which I really appreciated.
I’d recommend larger sign at meeting area near bus station or meet inside train station lobby and then the group walk over to bus station together.

Two cities worth the trip - It was definitely worth the day and the price. Both cities were great. No problem walking around without a guide. We enjoyed our freedom to eat and visit as we wished. The bus driver and escort were both cheerful. Gave us a water bottle halfway which was definitely an unexpected, but needed trip. No bathrooms on bus, but escort pointed out spots before boarding bus.

A day in Tuscany worth 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - We have spent a wonderful day with Noemi and Damiano. Noemi has spoken 4 languages all day to accommodate everyone and was very kind and attentive to everybody's needs. Brava!!! I was traveling with seniors and she made sure they were safe and that they enjoyed the day as much as everybody else. As for the hills of Tuscany, well, they are absolutely gorgeous. Both villages are stunningly beautiful and I do recommend this tour whole-heartedly ❤️🇮🇹👌🍦.

Definitely good if you time is limited. - This was exactly what we were looking for. Both Siena and San Gimignano could easily be enjoyed for a day or two, but there is only so much time!
So, 3 hours in each was a great taste. The guide was great. She guided us into each city till we were in a good place to head off on our own without getting lost.
That was the perfect compromise between a full guided tour and a free range experience.
Absolutely better than we were expecting.

Great way to independently explore two cities! - This is the perfect blend of a convenient way to access two completely different cities in one day. Having a knowledgeable tour guide available to offer suggestions with the free time to explore was a perfect balance.
