Florence to Cortona to Arezzo - a Tuscany Terrific Trio - The success and enjoyment of our adventure in Cortona and Arezzo is due to one wonderful man: our guide Massimo. He made our trip and made our day!

Cortona is a small Tuscan... - Cortona is a small Tuscan town. The Etruscan museum is worth visiting. Usually, fans of the film “Under the Tuscan Sun” visit Cortona as the author is based there and some scenes were filmed there. Arezzo is the biggest of the two towns and the most interesting to visit. There were Christmas markets when we visited. The markets make this town charming and lively. We visited Arezzo and Cortona because we were going to spend an extended time in Florence. Otherwise, we would have skipped these two towns.

No guide - The write up on Viator states driver/guide. I feel that Viator needs to let the companies they hire know what is promised on their site: "Take a break from the crowds of Florence and discover Arezzo and Cortona on a private 9-hour. All-inclusive private transportation from your hotel allows you to comfortably see a long list of attractions in a short amount of time. Visit historical sites, including the 9th-century Etruscan Atrium, as well as filming locations for “Life is Beautiful” and “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Enjoy ample free time to explore both Tuscan towns. Get the personalized experience of a private tour Visit two Tuscan towns that most tourists miss Travel by round-trip private transportation See filming locations for popular movies" In Cortona our driver handed us a map and said meet back here in 2 hours. Then at Arezzo he told us who we could get a map an said meet back in 2 hours. We didn't expect him to hold our hands but a little more "guiding" would have been nice!! Plus it wasn't a 9 hour tour, maybe 6 hours.
