Beautiful Tuscany

Mark_W, Oct 2023

The views were beautiful and the guide was knowledgeable. There were so many added experiences that we didn’t expect. The only drawback is that we had no time at all to really explore either town on our own. We ended up spending less than an hour in San Giamgano. We were fine, but there was a gentleman in our group with a heart condition who could not keep up at all. Anyone with mobility or health challenges should definitely not sign up for this trip as the pace is very fast and the hills are very steep.

Thank you Mark, we really appreciate you taking the time to review our tour. Hope to see you again!

Tour with a local/new friend

Kelly_P, Sep 2023

This was such an amazing experience! It was jam packed with information and the most beautiful sites. The best part is the tour guide was not just a local but also seemed to know everyone so it felt different from a script based tour. It felt like a friend taking you around to visit her local friends for a behind the scenes peak at these 2 wonderful cities. There is a ton of walking and it moves quick but it's the only way to see everything these cities have to offer.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hello Kelly, thank you so much for your words, we really appreciate you taking the time to review our tour! Hopefully we'll see you again here in Tuscany!

Tour did not go as expected

Loraine_F, Apr 2023

Seeing the beauty of the countryside and lunch This tour didn’t follow the original description. We only had one wine tasting, no sunset, no jewelry store. Only one very long Museum visit in Volterra and then visit 3 alabaster shops (no time to really shop) Then only spent one hour in San Gimignano - very disappointed - which is the town we really wanted to see. Do not recommend this tour

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you Lorain for reviewing our tour, we are very sorry you didn’t enjoy the experience but we would like to explain our side: - the online description has been updated to the present one but when you booked the tour it had a slightly different itinerary, only the restaurant stop was added instead of the lunch in the winery. - we now offer lunch in the restaurant: a choice of two main courses, one second course, desserts water and wine all included. In the wineries you would have only one glass of wine and bruschettas which is much more less then you had. - Jewelry shop was closed that day so we could not stop. Our tour guide, owner and founder of the company, has more than a thousand amazing reviews for this activity, we are sorry this one time it did not match your expectations but we hope to see you again in our tours!

Most Memorable Tuscan Tour

Stefanie_S, Apr 2022

This is a tour not to be missed. Our tour guide and driver, Luciana, was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and made this one of our most memorable tours. San Gimignano was lovely and the history was fascinating, however, the Etruscan town of Volterra exceeded expectations and was truly amazing. The winding roads through the mountainous terrain provided spectacular views with endless vineyards and olive groves. The wine tasting at the end of day was perfect.
