Embark on a day-long trip departing from Rome and travelling through the lush Chianti hills, making stops at the cities of Siena and San Gimignano. Siena, a town steeped in history, promises an exploration of its innermost heart, punctuated by the central square named “Piazza del Campo”. This is the site of the famed Palio- a horse race that harks back to the medieval ages. Siena is celebrated for its wine, and delectable sweets including “Panpepato”, “Panforte”, and “Ricciarelli”. Catch a breather over a classic Italian coffee and sample some unique Sienese confectionery. The journey proceeds to San Gimignano, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and affectionately called “The City of the Hundred Towers”. On reaching San Gimignano, take in the enchanting medieval streets and visit the city’s ancient center, renowned for Chianti wine production. An acclaimed cellar will serve host to a tasting session of 10 different wines and local products, accompanied by a tour of the vineyard where these wines are concocted.

Great small group tour and amazing food at the winery! - Our driver Mr. Adam and tour guide Josh both did an amazing job! Josh did such a great job sharing the history of the cities. The winery was fantastic! 4 course lunch with homemade lasagna! Spend a little more for this smaller tour (max 6 ppl and we lucked out with only 2 of us on ours) and the food is so much better than what it sounds like some of the cheaper tours offer.

Trip to Tuscany - Joseph and Maximo were a great team to take us around parts of Tuscany! The landscape is all I hoped. Both towns we visited were filled with history. Ended with the food and wine pairing was the highlight of the day. Thanks for the wonderful experience and memories!

Tuscan Sun and Fun - We wanted to take a day to explore Tuscany but not on a big bus tour. This was the perfect way to do it. We were joined by a wonderful couple so the six of us whisked through Rome and headed for the hills and quaint towns of Tuscany. We had perfect weather; our guide and driver were excellent. Siena was charming, along with San Gimignano. We worked up an appetite walking around and when we arrived for lunch, we were greeted by the owner of the winery. Farm to Table in a beautiful rustic setting. Lots of delicious wine and a lasagna that was finished off with a light drizzle of truffle oil. This is a must do trip if you want a brief but thorough overview of the area. We will definitely be back for a longer visit.

The Day Trip of a Lifetime! Simply Amazing - Our guide Giuseppe and driver Roberto were top notch. Roberto had nerves of steel and drove us safely through the harrowing streets of Rome & winding hills of Tuscany without breaking a sweat. Guiseppe was fun, knowledgeable and very accommodating of individual requests and needs. The winery lunch was absolutely amazing! If I could give it 10 stars I would. If I could live there and eat & drink that way every day I would! I would also weigh 600 lbs. But, it would be worth it. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the countryside in a semi-private format. It was the experience of a lifetime!
