FABULOUS - Our host, Lorenzo, was great. So informative and kind. Even assisting with baby strollers for tour patrons. Siena and Gimignano were breathtaking and Lorenzo was so knowledgeable on the history. The wine tour and lunch was spectacular. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR.

A Perfect Way to Get a Taste of Tuscan History - This was an outstanding experience. From the instant we met our guide, Lorenzo, and our driver, Nino, we knew we were going to have a great time. They were funny, friendly, and full of useful information. The bus was small (plenty of room for those who booked, but just the size for a small group). We left on time and Lorenzo provided enough information to keep us entertained during the drive, but also enough quiet time to enjoy the amazing scenery. Siena was just fabuolous to see and walk around in. Thanks to the early hour of our arrival we were able to enjoy the town before the crowds arrived. Again, Lorenzo was full of fun and interesting information, but he also made sure we had time on our own to explore. After an adequate amount of time in Siena we drove to a gorgeous winery - the entire estate had once been a small village, so it was picturesque and charming. Lunch was traditional Tuscan food, and the wines were excellent. Our last stop was San Gimignano. Unfortunately, because it was now afternoon the crowds were out. But this was still a charming medieval walled town and totally worth seeing. Lorenzo was hands down one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. He was funny, patient, well-informed. He was also very accommodating and flexible. Frankly, he made it possible for me to enjoy the entire trip despite some challenges I experienced. I hope we can take another tour with him next time we’re in Florence. Our driver, Nino, was charming as well.

Memorable tour! - This tour is one of the stand-out memories of our 2 weeks in Italy! The winery lunch was excellent and there was enough time to get a feel for the energy of the two towns. Our guide Lorenzo gave good insights, especially liked the info about Siena and the palio (horse race).

Great way to see beautiful Tuscany - The tour was smallish…27 ppl. The bus was comfy, a basic walking tour in Siena and about 90 minutes free time. The winery was lovely, nice lunch, several wines to taste. San Gimignano was beautiful with about 90 minutes to explore. We were back in Firenze at 6.
