A definite must to see a little piece of all the wonders of Tuscany!

Reviewed by: Crystal Gates, 2019/08/12

The tour is a great way to get a taste of all of the best parts of Tuscany. and gives you a little free time in each place to explore on your own after each short, but great and interesting, tour of each city. All the information provided by Alexandra was great. She is really passionate about history. You get to experience the highlights of Siena, see and eat a fabulous lunch with lots of great food, at a beautiful local farm in Tuscany. Be sure to leave time after eating to shop in the wine store, which also carries other products from the farm. Then see the small town of San Gimignano where you can buy the best gelato in the world (they've won the world competition twice!). Then we took a little siesta on our way to Pisa. Pisa is so beautiful as well.

Tips:
1. Bring single euros to buy water on the bus/ coach. I was really surprised that bottled water wasn't included, or at least a couple bottles on this 12 hour tour.
2. Stop for the restroom when you can (bring change as most charge 0.50 or 1 euro each). For such a long day, there are only a few chances for the restroom, and most have long lines.
3. One of the churches you go inside requires shoulders to be covered, but if you forget, they do provide a paper scarf for your visit for free.

The day was long, but perfect to explore a little piece of each. The tour could only be improved by giving a little extra time after lunch to buy wine and/or other items from the farm's store and to use the restroom, as this was really rushed (only 15 min from the time the dessert wine and biscotti were served to the time the bus leaves). I got up before everyone else and went to the store, quickly ordered the wine for shipping, without looking around in the store, and it was time to go... no time for the restroom). And there is no restroom on the bus.

Overall a fabulous day. One of top 2 tours in Italy! Would definitely recommend this one!

Excellent Tuscany trip with lunch

Reviewed by: Elena , 2018/11/28

The trip was very well managed and the guide was excellent. A lot of information about Siena, San Giminiano and Pisa and beautiful landscapes. The meal was very good and I enjoy also the wine test. I strongly recommend this tour.

Very fun day - Long, though. Pisa was not our favorite, but the others were wonderful. Packed a lot of Tuscany in 12 hours!

Good information and enjoyable trip

Reviewed by: Shannon smith , 2018/09/21

Elisa did a great job and was a wealth of information. However be advised every stop to include starting the tour will include a 10+ minute walk to and from the bus. So you end up spending more time walking to things than you have at any one place enjoying the sites. I felt bad for some older participants who could not handle into sienna and the worst walk was to and from Pisa snd then at the end we were dropped blocks from the train station. We did more walking to and from the bus than st the sites.

Both our tour guide Gloria and bus driver Nando were fabulous. They both made it a very special day. Their knowledge and information was very informative. We had a good group as well and as a solo traveller found it all to be a fun and pleasant tour.

We loved it and given the chance we will do it again! The places were just as I imagined it to be. Our guide, Olivia made a fantastic job of providing just the right details on the places we've been to. She was also very helpful and ensured that she connected to most of her charge at the end of the day. I definitely love her approach of being very personal and reachable. She even helped us in finding great resto in Florence. Our driver Sergio was also super nice, I like the thought that he takes care of the bus cleanliness for us. We highly recommend the tour!

This tour was phenomenal! It was a REALLY long day, but we had time to rest on the bus and in the cities along the way. Our tour guide was fantastic, and the day was absolutely wonderful. The highlight was lunch at an Italian farm in the Tuscan countryside. What an amazing tour.

The tour was very well organised. Both the guide and the driver performed flawlessly. On the tour guide herself; she was very knowledgable which she of course has to be. and that sense of humour is very welcoming. she is not pushy but yet, able to control the whole group well. Humour is always the best tool to make people come together and she did it well. As for the driver, no complaints. Always the silent worker behind supporting the guide. This is one tour company that I would definitely recommend to others. Excellent job!

Highly recommended for those of you who want to take a look of the countryside outside Florence and to visit cultural/historical cities that are otherwise out of the way. Plus the lunch and wine tasting are great. There was a logistical problem early in the morning, but our lovely tour leader Olivia managed the tour very well and I can say all of us wrapped up the day tour happy and enjoyed.

Our guide *** was fantastic, she was knowledgable, fun, made sure every person was catered for on the trip regardless of age, nationality, medical restrictions. She went out of her way to give additional information and to be available to give advise. The tour ran smoothly, it was a very hot day and yet we enjoyed every moment. This is the third tour I had done with three different companies and it was without a doubt the absolute best... Many thanks for such a great experience .
