We really enjoyed our day visiting these beautiful towns. The guide on our bus was multi-lingual and very good. She informed us about each place coming up but then left us to look at the countryside quietly as we drove. The guide in Siena was terrific as well! Longer in San Gigninano would be good if possible

I would highly recommend this site to all my friends. The email we received for our booking in Milan for Lake Como stated that all reservation is " not confirmed". I would appreciate if you could confirmed upon payment about this Resevation rather than finding out the day or days before the tour that it's cancelled.

Trip in Sienna and San Gigminiano was really beautiful. Tziana our quide from Firenze who accompanied us throughout the day but also local quide were very friendly knowledgeable and very pleasant. Sienna is a medieval town with a superb cathedral value with centery buildings XIV-XV which keeps beautifull. The clock tower in the central piazza is specially rising proudly skyward.We visited a Contrada from 17 which are in Sienna. In Contrada training is specific for celebration of the race horse and city streets were adorned with multicolored flags. I had free time and although it reined incessantly gladly have traveled city streets. San Gimignano is also a superb medieval town. The Cathedral is magnificent being painted by Ghirlandaio teacher and mentor of Michelangello. City is not large and can be visited during free offer here you can buy souvenirs drink and sweets specific Tuscan. I recommand this trip special from the heart.

I cannot recommend this highly enough. The guide on the bus Irene was brilliant and coped with having to say everything in 3 languages. She really seemed to care if everyone enjoyed the tour. I cannot remember the name of the wonderful lady who showed us round Siena with a real passion for her city. Visiting the day before the Palio was very lucky as the city was buzzing. San Gimignano is like a film set . Don't miss!

Brilliant, multilingual guide (Francesca) and very interesting tour. Could have done without the marketing aspects where you get taken to wine places, but otherwise, excellent.

Both of the cities are very interesting places to now. Siena is bigger and our guide, for the english group, was really great to show us the main places of the city and to tell the history of the city. A good thing was that the group were splited , one for english and other for spanish.
San gimignano is a very tiny medieval city, with towers and several stores, gelatos, cafes. Very good!

The tour to Siena and San Gimignano was superb. Stopping at just the two villages during a full-day tour gave us enough time to visit each. Siena Cathedral was a true spectacle. The towers of San Gimignano were also amazing, well worth climbing to catch the view. Guide Tiziana was a treat - it was a pleasure being able to share the day with her as she explained the history of the region. I highly recommend this tour.

A great day out and a break from Florence. Siena is a nice place to walk around and has some good architecture. San Gimignano is lovely little town with some lovely views. Worth walking up the tower.

Amazing tour. Siena and San Gimignano are very beautiful and I did feel in a medieval movie. The guides of the agency are also very good.

The tour was run by a company operating in Florence since the 1950s. Our experience was excellent. A guide from Florence was in charge, and she was organized and intelligent. In Siena, we English-speakers were guided by a native, Adele, who had studied art history at university. She was outstanding. Lunch with the group in Siena was optional. Although these tour lunches can be pretty bad, this one took us to an appealing restaurant that we might have chosen on our own, and the meal itself was a good value, including a Tuscan soup that I wouldn't have tried on my own, but did, in fact, enjoy. A good package for a day trip from Florence.

The tour was well organised and left on time. The guide in Siena was particularly good as she was from the city and obviously had a passion for it. All in all a grand day out and we would highly recommend it.
