The bike ride ride at the end was harder than expected but there was an alternative if you didn't want to ride and the food at the winery at lunch was good. The guide was very informative and knew the region and the wines well

A well organised tour, interesting and allowing ample time for exploring all places except San Gimignano. Weather unfortunately very wet, but that did not take away from our over all satisfaction.

We were satisfied in general with the tour.
Siena perfect.
San Gimignano we did not have enough time (mainly because all the tour have lost
half an hour +, waiting after 3 couples before leaving Siena.
But we are not satisfied with the activity:
Excursion à travers les collines du Chianti
as indicated on your site.
Your site on this point is not enough clear.
The only thing that would have made us full satisfied with the ti<x>tle of the excursion
(Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti Day Trip with Wine Tasting from Florence)
is to really see only one so marvelous idyllic
scene of chianti. Yes taking highway (question of time) but it may be possible in 15 minutes to make a strategic little detour
well planned...
The purpose of our comment is to be constructive...
thanks

It was a wonderful excursion and tour aroudn Siena, though it was a bit in a rush by an agent and she did not tell more of a history and details and did not allow much time to browse around Siena's Cathedral and enjoy art. In san Gimignano you wilkl be on your won and there is no guided tour and guide will not escort you and tell any history. You will have to wander on your own aroudn town centre. If you can find a cheaper equivalent for this excursion go ahead and you will save money. Enjoy your stay!

The tour guide and the local guide had both a lot of interesting knowledge they shared with us. A bit more time in the Siena dome would have been good.

Found the local Siena guide's English hard to understand. Both towns are worth seeing, but maybe with a little less emphasis on a lot of facts and figures.

The guide Margherita in Siena was fantastic, and we had enough time to explore both places. The recommended lunch was good too. Only area for improvement was that the guide we had on the bus could have provided us with more information on history and the area.

I had a great time overall, but our tour guide Titiana really spent too much time talking - she never took a breath during the entire bus ride to San Gimignano (approximately one hour). I found this exhausting, and having everything translated into spanish was annoying for those on the tour who didn't speak spanish. Otherwise, I would recommend.

WE HAD ONE SPECIFIC COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS TOUR. WE WERE TAKEN ON AN INCLUDED VISIT TO THE CATHEDRAL BUT WHEN (IN OUR FREE TIME) WE WANTED TO VISIT THE BAPTISTRY AND CRYPT WE HAD TO BUY ALL INCLUSIVE TICKETS (AT 12 EUROS EACH) WHICH INCLUDED A VISIT TO THE CATHEDRAL

Guides s'exprimant très bien en français et très intéressants. Un peu plus de temps à Sienne et un peu moins à San Gimignano aurait été mieux mais dans l'ensemble, ce tour est vraiment très bien.

It was a lot of fun - there is just not enough time in one day! We would have like a little more time in both stops.
