Top Tuscany Private Sightseeing Tours - page 6

Allasandro took us all over the city, showed us the history of the Medici family and its affect on the history of Florence. He showed us the most ancient pharmacy in the city which was stunning. He took us to local market that sold fine Italian products we could buy. He took us to a local market and showed us the history of the market and the merchants that worked there. He fed us at a local corner trying out local food that normally we would never think of trying but it was DELICIOUS. He brought us bread from a local market to try that was FANTASTIC, and gave my daughter a gift for her birthday. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Mario was the most professional and personal guide we have ever had. His love for Italy was infectious. I became ill and Mario treated me like part of his family. He call his daughter who is a doctor twice for advice for my nausea. He drove me back to my hotel and then continued with the tour with my family. He followed up with my family to make sure I was doing well. My entire family consider Mario as part of our USA family. Thank you Mario.

This was a great way to get out to the wine country. Our driver was nice and efficient. It was a great tour if you want a private driver to go Private Tour in Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti Day Trip from Florence. If you want a tour guide, pick another tour. We just needed a driver.

We enjoyed our day in Tuscany. Alex, our driver, was on time, friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience to our liking. We went first to the Michelangelo plaza, across the river, where we had not been yet for a great view of Florence. We chose not to go to Pisa, for more time in the Chianti area and wine tasting. We drove to Monteriggiani, a small walled town, which had a recent restoration. Throughout the day, all buildings were a way to feel how itight have been in medieval times. Then was Siena, with its massive, unfinished, cathedral, and the unique shell shaped plaza. We went wine tasting and lunch at Corbacci, an exclusive experience, as we get to pair wine with meal. Our host Agnes guided us through the tasting and with a passion for wine. The scenery of this place is all we have in mind when we think Tuscany. Lunch was great, no surprise. We left and headed.to St Gminiano, another well preserved medieval town, though with a different flare. Alex drove thru the countryside for more spectacular views. Then back to Florence, already planning our next visit.

Wonderful tour, and absolutely worth doing as a private tour. This museum is BIG, and to have somebody very knowledgeable both of the art and the facility is absolutely invaluable! Irina was both! We left feeling like we really learned about the art we were seeing as opposed to just looking at it. Highly recommend this tour!

Our guide Luca ( yes that was his name) was a local and excellent. He was proud to share the history. This little town is so beautiful. Family friendly. kids playing, moms walking babies in strollers and music on the side walk by local artist. The tour included a stop for wine and Aperitivo, then more riding and a stop for gelato. Luca knew all the local spots. After we walked around town and went in the church where it is said the have the real face of Jesus. It was under reconstruction but they had informative info on it.

Irina was a great guide. She came with a tablet full of illustrations to show us as she talked. Very knowledgeable and continuously pointed out things to see that we would have missed without her guidance. Our questions were answered immediately and in depth.

We chose to do 6 tastings and we were stuffed! The food and the wine were delicious! Our guide, Eden was the best! She had a great personalty! She gave us great advice on places try for the rest of our stay. Not just food and drinks, but places to visit. She was wonderful!.
