Very lovely trip. It covered everything that we wanted to see in a limited amount of time. The winery lunch was absolutely fantastic. It did rain while we were in Siena so unfortunately we couldn’t do the cathedral. However, the positive side was that bc of the rain and it finished rather quickly, we were able to get amazing photos in the Piazza del Campo as it was entirely empty.

Elizabeth was an excellent tour guide and we enjoyed her commentary but felt the winery section of the tour was sub standard. Tastings and lunch was in an industrial area and although Elizabeth said we would be taking fabulous photos it was awful…. A couple of grapes in a block is NOT a winery.

Not a “tour” but rather a comfortable bus ride.
Theresa_N
, Aug 2022
The tour was well timed to fit three town visits. However, this is not a tour but a bus ride with only one guide in Siena at the cathedral. The bus was nice but there is no “tour” with historical or informative guide. You will not really learn anything on this trip. You will get a comfortable ride.

Started on time. Loved all the places . In the winery, food was okay nothing special , we want to buy a bottle of wine but it was expensive. In Siena my radio machine guide doesn't work well so I didn't heard all the explanation from my guide. In conclusion I really enjoyed all the places and recommended this tour for all that want to see special places outside Florence!! Thanks to Elizabeth and Attilio the bus driver!

Good tour to spend a little bit of time at a few great unique locations. Opted for the guided tour of Sienna, but may have been better off on our own. The guide there was a little quirky and not as exciting as one would hope. Lunch was good with some nice food and wine tastings.

I’m so happy we booked this tour! It was a long day, but it was perfectly planned so that we had the best time possible seeing these three beautiful cities. The leaning tower of Pisa was definitely a highlight, but Siena and San Gimignano were gorgeous as well. Our tour guide Sara gave us great tips on what she recommended we do during our free time in each place, which made it so much easier to find the best parts of each location. Our driver Mario was an expert at navigating all the different locations in our huge bus. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

One day to visit Tuscany, this was my choice!
John_C
, Aug 2022
To have one day using Florence as my home base, I feel as though this was a good way to experience multiple places in Tuscany in a single day. It was a bit exhausting at times, as it was a 12 hour tour, and you'll be in the bus for several hours of the day, but it was comfortable and air conditioned- plus, you get a chance to see the beautiful country side as you go from one location to the next. The four locations chosen all have a bit of variety to them. However, a lot of the places are also being toured, and have other tourists there, so be wary that it is not the case that you will be in peaceful and quiet areas often. I went during the summer.

Brilliant Day in Tuscany
Helen_R
, Aug 2022
From start to finish this was a tour well worth the value that we paid. We were picked up promptly by a very comfortable and well air conditioned coach (which was very much needed!). In Siena, we had a fabulous guide who told us the stories of the town and guided around the spectacular Siena Cathedral (which is well worth a visit), the wine tasting experience and lunch at the Tuscan Vineyard was excellent with 4 different wines tasted and a simple but more than fulfilling 3 course meal. Onto San Gimignano we had free time to explore a beautiful Tuscan village in the hills and had ample time for wine with gorgeous view of the Tuscan hills and finally Pisa which made for some great photo opportunities. The only drawback I would highlight is the limited amount of time in San Gimignano and Siena to explore yourself, however this is more due to the fact that these are beautiful and interesting locations that we could have spent days exploring. Would definitely recommend.
