Delightful Tour
Susan_B, Mar 2023
Tour guide, Lorenzo, and driver, Tony, were great. Sienna, as always, was very special. San Giniminano is a very special Tuscan hill village. Highly recommend as a must do tour when you are in Florence!
Great day in Tuscany!
Ritu_J, Mar 2023
Lorenzo was friendly, funny and knowledgable guide. I travelled with my friend and we had a great time. The bus was comfortable and had only 8 people. The tour didn't feel rushed and had enough time to explore both towns. I highly recommend this tour with Lorenzo and Mitch.
Response from Host, Mar 2023

Wonderful way to spend a day
Charles_R, Mar 2023
Our guide Lorenzo made the day very special. From the outset on the bus the tour was fun and informative. He truly loves his material, and is proud Florentine sharing the beauty and history of Siena nevertheless! The lunch at the winery was excellent, accommodating my wife’s gluten fee diet superbly. San G was a treat to visit as well. Highly recommend this tour with Lorenzo and his driver Antonio!
Response from Host, Mar 2023

Fun daytrip through Tuscany
Jessie_K, Mar 2023
A great way to see parts of Tuscany. Lorenzo was an enthusiastic, engaging guide who made sure everyone was enjoying themselves on the tour. Siena was the highlight. A gorgeous city with an impressive cathedral, central square and unique architecture in general. Followed by an enjoyable lunch at a winery with a spectacular view of the countryside and a visit to San Gimignano, an extremely well-preserved 13th-century town with stunning views.
Response from Host, Mar 2023

Great overview of Tuscany
David_G, Mar 2023
Our guide Lorenzo gave an excellent tour. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. You can tell he is proud of where he lives. We enjoys the small group atmosphere with more chance to talk with our guide. These are two beautiful towns and we especially loved San Gimignano and the views from the tower. As expected, this is a short tour so only about an hour or so of free time at each stop. But a nice overview to let us know we need to come back again!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Dear David_G, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and write this amazing review, it means a lot to us. Happy to read that you appreciated being part of a smaller group and enjoyed our Siena and San Gimignano: Small-Group Tour with Lunch from Florence. We are even happier that you perceived Lorenzo’s passion for the area and for his job. Hope to have you again with us! All the very best wishes, Prestige Rent staff
Lorenzo was a great guide...
Charles_H, Mar 2023
Lorenzo was a great guide and Antonio was a great driver for an intimate tour of Tuscany. Rather than a massive group of 40 other tourists, this was a small group of 15 or 16 which allowed for a much better experience. The only thing that was so-so was the winery lunch, but otherwise, this was a great tour and would definitely recommend in the future.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Dear Charles_H, we are grateful that you took he time to share your experience and write this amazing review, thank you! We’ll share your kind words with Lorenzo and Antonio, they will be glad to know they made a great experience for you! See you next time you’ll be in Italy, best wishes from Prestige Rent staff

This is a wonderful excursion; a nice day trip to escape the hustle and bustle of Florence. I highly recommend it!
Ron_D, Mar 2023
The ride to Siena and San Gimignano took us through some lovey Tuscan countryside. Both towns were charming, and our guide, Lorenzo, did a fine job of pointing out the highlights and giving us some historical background. Lunch at a local Tuscan winery was fun, and gave the group the opportunity to sample some locally produced Chianti wine.
Response from Host, Mar 2023

Tuscany even beautiful in the rain
Valerie_K, Jan 2023
Both our guide Lorenzo and driver Andres were wonderful. It was a rainy day, but we all made the most of it. What I didn’t realize was that there would be such an emphasis on the winery selling their products during our lunch. I’m not a big wine drinker so that is probably why I wasn’t expecting that. But the lunch was delicious and people lovely there.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Dear Valerie_K, thank you for taking the time to write us a review, we appreciate it! We are happy you enjoyed Lorenzo and Andres on our Siena and San Gimignano: Small-Group Tour with Lunch from Florence. Glad you appreciated the hosts and your lunch paired with the winery’s wine. We decided to offer the lunch in a winery to give travelers the chance to also explore and enjoy the local wines. Of course, they inform travelers about the price and if desired, you can buy or even ship what tasted! Hope to have you back with us on your next trip to Italy, all the very best from Prestige Rent staff
Great tour
Desiree_D, Jan 2023
I was a little worried about traveling solo on this, but it turned out to be very nice even solo! There were only about 12 of us on the tour so it was a very small group and Lorenzo was a great guide. The tour was a good mix of guided and free time. Tony was also a great driver - I normally get motion sickness but was fine the whole time!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Dear Desiree_D, thank you for the awesome review, we appreciate it! Glad to read you enjoyed our Siena and San Gimignano: Small-Group Tour with Lunch from Florence.
