“Great Tour! Lorenzo was a wonderful guide through these amazing sites, and Francesco provided prompt and expert driving, drop-off and pickup. The Siena Duomo in particular is a must-see. The winery tour and lunch were interesting, informative, and delicious. By omitting Pisa (which many such tours include) we had sufficient time to wander and enjoy the towns without feeling rushed. All in all, I had a great time. Highly recommended.” - Reviewed on 2025-05-08
