Five Stars! - We had a wonderful tour with Francesco. He was so knowledgeable but also fun and kind to everyone on the tour. We learned so much about Italian history, the area around Sienna and gelato! The lunch stop at the winery was excellent as well. Highly recommend!

Stunning and memorable - The tour of Siena, San Gimignano, and the Tuscan countryside was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Lorenzo had so many fun and interesting facts about each area and made the whole day memorable. Our driver Nino, was efficient and maximized our time at every stop. This was truly the highlight of our honeymoon.

Don’t miss this tour with Lorenzo and Pino. It really worth it! - I really enjoyed this tour. I am the kind of traveler that prefer to explore by myself but as this was kind of difficult to do I decided to take the trip. Lorenzo is amazing. He is a really kind person and knowledgeable guide. He was aware of each of us at all time. He really makes the trip interesting sharing information along the way and on sites but he also gave us space by ourselves to explore. Pino the driver was really kind and friendly. I would gladly take any other tour with both of them.

Outstanding day in Tuscany! - We had three adult family members touring with Lorenzo and expertly driven by Irene for a full day trip to Siena and San Gimignano. Lorenzo did a fantastic job of explaining Florence as we left the city as well as the Tuscan region. He was an outstanding guide through Siena and we really appreciated the balance of guided tour time versus having time on our own to explore the shops. Our lunch experience at the winery was outstanding, and we enjoyed the amazing views of the Tuscan Hills. As a bonus, I got to try some of the locally brewed beer and was able to take home a couple of bottles in addition to the lemoncello and wine. The weather got hot as the day went on, but we really enjoyed the trip to the medieval city. Lorenzo did a great job of giving us an overview and then we enjoyed the additional free time to climb up the bell tower and get some of the world famous gelato. It was a wonderful day

Great Tour - Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Lorenzo was great. He gave us all the information we needed for each stop, and also gave us plenty of time to explore and shop on our own. I appreciated his knowledge of both Siena and San Gigminano, and driver Andreas did a great job getting us everywhere safely. The wine tasting and lunch was fantastic, and the views could not have been better.

Good value - Lorenzo was a great guide on the day. Having a partial guided tour with the opportunity for free time was a great way to experience the region. The wine tasting at the winery was also really nice. Was a pleasant experience overall.
