Traveler reviews
This trip was very...
This trip was very interesting. Our guide Lorenzo was very knowledgeable, answer all the questions, went to extra mile to help. Our driver Nino was very good too
Great day in Tuscany!!
Alessia and Sergio were amazing. Not only did they share so much history and provide insights into what we were seeing, but also entertained us with fun humorous “legends” of the history of the region. I would recommend Alessia to anyone and would look forward to taking another tour with her. Great day!! Thank you
Our day started with...
Our day started with meeting Lorenzo our tour guide and Francesco our driver exactly where they directed us to meet them. We left Florence and headed to Siena first then to an Agriturismo for a beautiful open air lunch with an amazing Tuscan view. While in Siena we went to the Siena cathedral. We were under the impression we could not wear shorts which is not true. After lunch we went on to San Gimignano. Lorenzo gave us some more history of the town and some great pointers for while we were there. Siena and San Gimignano are absolutely worth visiting. Our lunch stop at Agriturismo/winery was just want I hoped it would be. All in all it was a hassle free great day.
Nice day out
We enjoyed our tour with Lorenzo (guide) and Francesco (driver) Lorenzo being from Florence was great - you could tell he was very proud of his city. The only slight down part was the wine tasting/lunch - maybe I had higher expectations on the menu. I feel she lost the group a little when explaining the wines as we all got a bit confused over what we were trying. (It was happening at the same time the food came out so people were distracted.) While the food was nice - I was probably expecting something a little more gourmet given what we paid. Other than that - it was great day to be out in Tuscany.
Great day trip!
Lorenzo was a fabulous guide. Tremendous information without being overwhelmed. Long day but short at the same time. So glad we did this! Francesco was a great driver!
