Traveler Tips

Bus could not get close to the attractions so it required lots of uphill and uneven walking.

Due to alot of waliking, i will not recommend this tour in the summer when it is hotter.

The hole city, and the Domus specially worth a more extended visit.

Best of Italy!!!

Sandra_G, Mar 2023

Sandro was an excellent tour guide. He showed us the most exquisite sites of our tour. He was thorough and really gave us an appreciation for the cities we saw. Nothing but beauty and tranquility was what we were exposed to. Loved every minute!!! Thank you for a memorable experience.

Picturesque and magical

TriciaVara, Feb 2023

We had the best time! Sandro was enthusiastic which added to the experience. He shared a lot of details about the areas we visited. The winery was awesome and they provided an excellent tasty lunch paired with excellent wine. Personally, I loved the wine so much that I overbought some to be shipped back home. Totally looking forward to that when I get back. San Gimignano is one of the most picturesque places to visit. It was a great way to spend my 50th birthday.

Fully recommended

Luis_S, Jan 2023

Great experience. Great guide. Everything was fine. All the cities visited are a must see. The visit and lunch to the winery is very interesting.

Great tour!

Melanie_M, Nov 2022

Great tour. The driver and guide were very efficient and we stayed on time. Just enough time in each place , not too long which was fine !

Just OK

mjpulvermacher, Nov 2022

We were very exited for the trip but it was a little disappointing. It all seemed very rushed. We had no time to climb the Tower of Pisa because we had to ge Thackeray to the bus. Our winery lunch was good. We stopped at Siena but when we got to San Gimigano we were to see the sunset but the sun was set before we arrived. I feel that it was too many places and not enough time to enjoy any of them. Also did not like that it was mixed English and Spanish because it was a lot for the guide to explain

Best day ever!

LaxMom, Oct 2022

Sandro was an exceptional tour guide. He was helpful, funny, and informative. Siena was unbelievably beautiful. We did the tour of the city with a local guide. Which was great but I would have liked more time to wander. San Gimignano was just as beautiful. The view from the city of the countryside was unbelievably beautiful. The lunch was excellent, the wine so-so. Pisa was beautiful. An excellent experience that I will never forget.

Enjoyable, and highly recommendable.

John_R, Sep 2022

Enjoyable trip, but too rushed. Considering how much it was covering; understandable. All locations we visited are beautiful, and deserve a longer 2nd visit. Due to the distance between locations, you spend the majority of your time on the bus. Complaints: There was confusion at the meeting place. The tour guide was late, and no backup. The tour guide was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. However, I found her some what aloof, and appeared to have little interest in interacting with the clients. Also, there should be some commentary, regarding the areas we drove through. Historical, agricultural, population, etc. The only commentary made was regarding the places we were visiting. The bus driver was pleasant, and efficient, and was trying to meet time schedules. But I feel he drove a little recklessly, on the mountain part of the trip.

Wonderful

Araks_D, Aug 2022

It was the best tour I have ever had the tour guide Maria Louis was wonderful explaining all the Hugo and the details very officiants and polite couple of guests gave her hard time but she handled very professionally

Not happy!

evapner, Jul 2022

The sites are amazing but very little description or talking from my guide. She spoke different languages and I picked english. When you have a multi-lingual guide how much can she really describe or discuss. Her English was broken. Need to do better guys! She even told me in some places I can’t talk like in Siena but the other guides didn’t do much talking either. Very disappointing for the amount I paid I wanted to learn about

This is a quick hit tour...

Hardi_A, Jul 2022

This is a quick hit tour to explore 3 places and with a vineyard luncheon . There is not a lot of time to explore Siene and San Gigimano. But gives a flavour , if u have more days later, u can go back and explore more later

Good trip

Marwa_B, Jul 2022

Our Guide Sebastian was amazing ! Very nice, easy going, funny he went on our pace and suggested to help us several times. The driver, the trip and all the program was very nice ! The only thing that I have not really liked is the food the proportions are very small and when it’s a vegetarian dish, there is nothing special about it !

A perfect sample of Tuscany

Craig_F, Jul 2022

Our tour guide, Maria Luisa, was excellent. She was very patient with me attempting to practice my Italian on her. The travel didn’t seem too long between destinations. Our tour guide sensed when the group needed entertaining and when they needed to relax in between our destinations. The vineyard guide was exceptionally good and very humouress. The lunch was tastey. We could have had more time in sienna and less in Pisa but that is just personal choice. An excellent tour smd very good value for money.

Pisa, Tuscany, Sienna and San Magnano whole day tour

Franco_F, Jun 2022

Whole day tour of Florence, Pisa, Sienna, Tuscany wine and San Magnano are all beautiful to see while in Italy

Bad experience and waste of money

KARIN_M, May 2022

The guide on our bus was not friendly and we were always rushed. Hardly had time to take pictures as our guide was always rushing and it was hard to keep up. The guide gave us all the information on the bus so when we reached our destination we had no idea what she was talking about. If we had a much more knowledgeable guide we would have had a better experience on this tour. The guide we had in Siena was knowledgeable but we were also rushed.

Had a great time at the...

Andreas_K, Apr 2022

Had a great time at the winery, learned a lot too. Great punctuality, always on time. Martha very helpful, Paul the guide was amazing.

Could be much better

Catalin_S, Aug 2021

The tour wasn't bad in theory. But the guide wasn't too entertaining and haven't felt any connection during the tour.

Nice tour!

Keri_C, Jan 2020

The tour guide was great! The tours of the 3 towns were very nice. The lunch and wine tasting was disappointing.

Sienna

janetd3t, Jan 2020

Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We we’re disappointed that we didn’t go to Chianti or have lunch in a typical winery. Our lunch was in a restaurant. We loved sienna and San Gimignano bit did not care for Pisa If I had the opportunity to do it again I would choose a trip to the winery instead
