Sarah, our guide, was...

Liana_P, Oct 2025

Sarah, our guide, was excellent. She provided history of the region in three languages, was personable, helpful and accompanied us on the highlights of each destination. Giovanni, our driver, was wonderful as well. Great sense of humor, excellent driver, wonderful host. The destinations spoke for themselves, reflecting their own beauty. Would highly recommend the tour.

Day tripping

Nancy_M, Jun 2025

Well thought out tour. Plenty of information and time to see everything. We had the wine with meats and cheese tasting. Delicious! Siena had lots of hills! Wear good shoes for walking. A very good day.

Intro to two beautiful towns

carla_v, Oct 2024

A nice introduction to Siena and San Gimignano. We had the option to be guided around or explore on our own. We loved having free time to see what piqued our interests.

Worth it

Mathieu_A, Oct 2024

I recommend doing the full experience with the wine tour. Also doing the top of the tower in san gimignano is a must. Its 9 euros per person and the stairs are really well designed and not too hard to climb. They arrived in a van bus at about 8h45 while our tour was at 9h. So even if you are early and they are not there, do not panic.

Seina

Roy_G, Sep 2024

The Cathedral in Siena both outside and inside. The marble art work on floor was amazing. A must see.

Self-guided Tour

Maria_P, Nov 2023

At the outset, a visible sign on the bus or held by the driver would have been very helpful. It was very difficult to determine which vehicle to board when we arrived at the bus depot. Before the "taxi" took off, we felt like ping pong balls. There was no sign or individual indicating which vehicle to take. Other bus drivers at the station attempted to help by sending us across the street and back again. Finally, by process of elimination, we encountered the vehicle and driver. The trip was very scenic and smooth; conscious and personable driver. According to the information on the ticket, we expected to recieve an "Audiguide + GPS" but non was received once we arrived at our destinations. However, we did enjoy and take advantage of having the independence to visit places and sights of our choice at our own pace. Knowing, from the get go, which bus (van in this case) to baord and some background information about the locations would have been highly appreciated and helpful.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear customer, not having left a contact number on the booking made by viator, we were unable to contact you by telephone, but only by email. Try looking in your received or junk mail, you will surely find our email with the location of the stop and useful links for downloading the audio guides. Thank you anyway for your review, we care a lot about the opinion of our customers

Nice day trip

Carol_K, Sep 2023

Sienna was amazing especially the Duomo. Would love to stay in Sienna sometime. The driver was great. This is basically a driver the tour is an audio tour the driver leaves and you’re on your own with an audio tour. Some confusion finding the bus as the white bus turned into a black van. It would have been nice if they messaged me ahead of time. Anyhow overall a nice day.

Consider it transportation only.

Linda_W, Sep 2023

The area was beautiful, churches spectacular and fabulous shopping. Our driver was pleasant but didn't speak much English and didn't do any talking on the bus - which we sort of expected to have it narrated along the way. I think you would do better off just taking a train.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

good morning, our service does not include a guide on board but rather transport from Florence to the beautiful cities of San Gimignano and Siena. A geolocalized audio guide, which is included in the ticket, accompanies our customers step by step through the two cities. Our service was created to facilitate connections from Florence, given that the journey is much more complicated by train. Thanks anyway for your review

Must see towns with an easy transportation and audio tours you can follow at our own pace. We had a small group and really enjoyed our day exploring these wonderful towns.

Excellent tour

Jenny_S, Apr 2023

Excellent tour, I highly recommend the tour company. Inez and Ciro are both excellent. Lovely trip and lovely tour company. Plenty of time to experience both Siena and San Gimigiano. Comfortable, clean bus. I would do it again.

Satisfaite d'avoir pris Viator. Les trajets se sont bien passés. Suite à un problème le jour même, la compagnie de bus nous a trouvé une solution assez rapidement et a été très arrangeante. Merci.
