Congratulations to our guide Sandra. She made our trip extra enjoyable. The tour was wonderful and we would tell our friends that it is a must do. We loved all the small towns we visited, all the history, buildings, food and wine.

Amazing day we had on this tour! Everything well organized, on schedule and fabulous tour guides. Sandra, our main tour guide, was the highlight of the day. Very nice and helpful, always with a smile on her face. I had been to Siena earlier that week with my travelling excursion, but coming back made me see it with a total different perspective thanks to the local Siena guide, which also helped me find a store to buy a travel ac adapter. The lunch at a Tuscan farm in Chianti was superb! Delicious organic homemade food and different types of wine for each thing we ate. The tip for the world champion ice cream in San Gimignano and the Tchu Tchu train in Pisa were very nice too! I would do it again!

We love the Tuscany trip. WE went on 6-24. I think the tour guide name is Joe, He is excellent. The food is good, the wine tasting view are excellent. Me & my hubby has a good time in this trip.

I also took the 3days tour to Pompeii & Capri. They are so organized.
Highly recommend~! 5 star

This tour is really must do. We loved it and we recommend it. We went to Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. Our guide Elisa was wonderful, also many thanks to our guide in Siena (sorry for not remembering her name). Lunch in the farm was superb: Delicious pasta and amazing vines, plus unforgettable view of Tuscany. Enjoy!

Excellent trip in Tuscany: Siena was charming indeed, great lunch at a Tuscan farm (with wonderful scenery) and tasty gelato in San Giminiano (I highly recommend white wine, saffron and pink grapefruit gelato). Our guide Becky was a professional, very well informed and careful!

We had a very nice time on the Best of Tuscany tour. A great way to see Siena, Sn Gminiano, Pisa and Tuscany especially if you have limited days. Our guide, Sandra, was great! Funny, informative, very competent. It was also nice to have a guide in Siena (Donatella) who gave us a good overview of the city. We highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide Stefano made this a wonderful day. His stories and knowledge added to the experience. It would have been nice to spend more time in each of the cities but there is only so much you can do in 12 hrs. It did give us a quick overview and makes us want to return to spend more time. The lunch overlooking the Tuscan hills was the perfect picture of serenity.The day was a complete success. Thanks

O guia da excursão (Chris) realizou um trabalho de ótima qualidade, quer no conhecimento sobre as atividades do passeio, quanto na amabilidade do trato com os turistas. A guia de Siena demonstrou excelente conhecimento e paixão pela cidade de Siena e por seu trabalho - foi muito dedicada e atenciosa. A guia de San Gimignano, embora um pouco rápida, descreveu suficientemente os processos de cultivo, produção das uvas e processamento do vinho.
Sem dúvida o trabalho do guia Chris foi um dos melhores que tivemos na Itália,

Becky our tour guide was with out a doubt the best tour guide we had in two months of travelling. The tour was great. Excellent for our family of two adults and two kids aged 14 & 11. Great value for money. An awesome product from Walkaboutpass.

The tour was great! Very informative and the views were amazing. The food and wine at the farm was excellent. What made the tour far above my expectations were the guides. All of the guides were extremely knowledgeable and great leaders. Chris, our lead guide on the bus kept the trip on schedule, answered all questions and gave us very entertaining and little know facts about about the overall area, the cities and specific people, places and things. He had an information ba<x>se that could only come from someone who truly loved every Tuscan and Florence. Without Chris, tour would have been long and boring. Fredericka in Sienna was wonderful. She was very passionate and entertaining. It was nice walking through this centuries old town and have the locals come by and say hello to your guide. The owner of the farm house owners were great, as well. The tour of their working farm was very educational, and owners put out an amazing spread, with fresh bread and pasta, good wine and sweets.

The tour did try to visit too many places in such a short time. It was nice seeing the cities, but I would have loved to spend more time at each stop.

The one major criticism I have is with the company. The compnay needs to have in place procedures for situations of too much drinking and handling drunk passengers. We had to women who drank too much and started swearing and yelling at other passengers. They made us make an unscheduled stop to pee and throw up. I know I was not the only one who wanted to leave their butts at the stop and continue on.

Aside from this and the over-extention of the tour to include Pisa (far out and at the end of the day, made it a little anti-climactic), I would recomend the tour to everyone, young and old.

An awful bus seat with no view was the start of our tour. With our arrival in Siena, life improved as we had a delightful guide in an incredible town. The winery kept the energy and awe level at maximum. I would have preferred more time to wander in San Gimignano as I felt like I was dropping in and dropping out. Preferably, I would cut Pisa to extend my time in San Gimignano as Pisa was ho-hum. Sooo, Siena, the winery and San Gimignano would make for a marvelous 10-12 hr tour. We were really pleased to do this tour.
