An absolute "must do", when visiting Italy. A great company, informative guide and safe trip. The best day tour we have ever done, and I just can't recommend them more in every respect. And such a lovely lunch and wine tasting experience.
Just a fantastic experience

Overall it was a great tour. The only concern was, Siena is a beautiful place and we did not get to see the whole place and explore on our own. We only were given 15 mins which was too short of a time. However, in the winery they gave us 4 hours to drink and offered to buy some wines. I wish we had more time in Siena instead rather than drinking. For the 4 hrs in the winery, we had wine tasting but not a tour of the vineyard which was quite odd as well.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

We spent one week in Rome and the surrounding area, and this was by far our favorite day. Joseph was our tour guide and Luigi our driver, they both were wonderful! Joseph was so much fun and provided great information. He set the tone for a wonderful day. After several hectic days in Rome, this was a nice reprieve. Slow-paced Sienna was such a nice change. The winery was beautiful and the staff there could not have been better. Highly, highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review we are truly delighted to hear that this was your favorite day during your time in Rome it is fantastic to know that Giuseppe and Luigi made such a positive impact and helped create a relaxed and enjoyable experience we are especially pleased that you appreciated the slower pace of Siena and the beauty of the winery your kind recommendation means a lot to us and we hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience

We had a fantastic trip to Siena and San Gimignano, made truly memorable by our wonderful guide and driver.
Monika was incredibly informative, sharing rich historical context about both Siena and San Gimignano in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. Having lived in Siena herself, she brought an added layer of authenticity with local insights and personal perspectives that really enhanced the experience.
Our driver, Natalie, was equally impressive—professional, kind, and courteous throughout the journey. She ensured we were comfortable at all times, making the day feel smooth and relaxing.
A special highlight was our lunch and wine tasting at the winery, which was absolutely delightful. The lasagne, in particular, was the best we’ve had to date.
One note of feedback: one of our guests was not of legal drinking age, and it would be helpful if there were a different pricing option for guests who are unable to participate in the wine tasting portion of the experience.
Overall, it was a beautifully curated experience, and we’re grateful to Monika and Natalie for making it so enjoyable.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re truly delighted to hear that your trip to Siena and San Gimignano was such a memorable experience. It’s fantastic to know that Monika’s knowledge and personal connection to Siena added depth and authenticity to the tour and made the history so engaging. We’re also very happy to hear that Natalie ensured a smooth comfortable and relaxing journey throughout the day. We’re especially pleased that you enjoyed the winery experience and that the lunch was such a highlight it’s always great to hear when it becomes a memorable part of the trip. Thank you as well for your helpful feedback regarding pricing for guests not participating in the wine tasting we truly appreciate this suggestion and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our offerings. We’re very grateful for your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon for another beautifully curated experience!

Antoinette was our guide and Pietro was our driver. Antoinette was wonderful, warm and knowledgeable. It felt like ai was spending time with an old friend learning all about our surroundings.
Pietro was an excellent driver. He got us to all of our locations safely and comfortably.
I was ecstatic that it was just the four of us. It felt like a private tour which was exactly what I was hoping for!!

This tour ended up being just me and my husband with our guide, Pino, and our driver, Artur. From the moment we left Rome for Siena, we were already joking around like we’d known them for years. Pino (also known as Giuseppe, Joseph, or Pepe—take your pick) was funny, entertaining, and ridiculously knowledgeable.
Siena is small but full of surprises. We learned so much about the life of St. Catherine of Siena without anything feeling too serious or museum-lecture heavy. Lunch at the winery was delicious and definitely catered to carnivores—but don’t worry, they’ll throw some vegetables at you too if that’s your thing.
San Gimignano is stunning, like a medieval fairytale village that somebody forgot to turn into a movie set. Amazing day, great company, and honestly, it felt more like a road trip with friends than a tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that your tour of Siena and San Gimignano with Pino and Artur exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful that from the very start, the day felt relaxed and fun, almost like traveling with old friends. Pino’s humor, knowledge, and engaging storytelling make history come alive without ever feeling heavy or formal, and we’re delighted that you appreciated learning about the life of St. Catherine of Siena in such a lively way.
We’re also glad that the winery lunch was enjoyable and suited your tastes it’s great that you could experience authentic Tuscan cuisine in a beautiful setting. And of course, San Gimignano’s fairytale charm is always a highlight, so it’s wonderful to know it left such an impression.
Your description of the day as a “road trip with friends” is exactly the experience we aim to create personalized, comfortable, and memorable. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback; it means so much to us and to our team. We would be thrilled to welcome you on another adventure in Italy anytime!

The wine was great & the food was delicious. Thank you Teresa for an amazing & awesome experience!

We had a great time. My wife 😍 needed to walk slowly with a cane and she was not rushed or left behind like many other tours. Our guide kept everything at her pace. Great job!
Response from Host, Oct 2025

This experience was amazing! Can’t call it anything else.
Big shout out to Sam and Roberto our guide and driver who were excellent.
There are a lot of steep areas but Sam gave us plenty of time to do these. Take/ be prepared to buy a lot of water as we had a very hot and humid day but the towns were beautiful and so worth the drive and the walking.
Wine tasting was an excellent way to end the day.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience was truly amazing.
Sam and Roberto will be delighted to know they made such a positive impression. We’re glad Sam paced the day well and that you enjoyed the beautiful towns despite the challenging terrain and weather. Staying hydrated is definitely key on those hot days!
Ending with a wine tasting sounds like the perfect way to unwind, and we’re so happy it was a highlight for you.
We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another memorable tour soon.

Beautiful drive to Tuscany. Walking through the towns was like walking through a history book. Finishing the day with a light lunch and a wine tasting was a perfect way to experience Tuscany. It was an easy drive from Rome. Sam and Jordan were awesome guides

Two wonderful cities to see and explore. Especially Sienna which is far too big to see in the time allotted. Wish we could’ve skipped the wine tasting and spent more time in Sienna! But when in San Gimignano you have to try the gelato near the outside market just up from the gate. Too die for!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're so glad you enjoyed exploring Siena and San Gimignano two truly unforgettable cities full of charm and history.
We understand your wish for more time in Siena; it certainly has so much to offer and can’t be fully appreciated in just a short visit. Your feedback is valuable and will help us continue refining our itineraries to better match our guests’ interests.
And yes the gelato in San Gimignano is absolutely a must try! We're happy you got to enjoy that sweet highlight.
We hope to welcome you back again soon for more discoveries in Italy!
Warm regards,
The Welcome Italy Team

Amazing experience. Theresa was great! She was very knowledgeable and guided us to wonderful stops and spots on our tour. She was excellent and engaging with our children as well. Sienna and San Gimignano were both beautiful and we had a good amount of time in both. The winery lunch and tasting was amazing as well with great wines and views. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. We had a great time and would definitely strongly recommend the experience.
Irina_P, Nov 2024
Excellent tour with Dina and our driver, Pietro! Dina is extremely knowledgeable and personable, and was very kind to let us stop for breaks or quick shopping when we saw something we wanted. She was very clear in her instructions regarding meeting points and times. Overall and excellent day with an excellent guide!
Lenette_C, Oct 2024
Teresa was our guide and Pino was our driver. We enjoyed both of them, and they made the trip very enjoyable.
We really liked Sienna and Teresa gave us a lot of background on the area. We then went to San Gimignano for a wine tasting and lunch. They treated us very well there and the food kept coming. This, too, was enjoyable.
We left hotel around 6:30 a.m. (they picked us up at 2 hotels) and returned around 6:00 p.m.
It was a wonderful day and very glad to get out of the congestion in Rome.
Dierdre_R, Oct 2024
Our guide Monica and driver Natalia made this experience truly memorable. They were both knowledgable, courteous, friendly and totally helpful. This itinerary is amazing and the two ladies ensured that the day was wonderful
Thomas_J, Sep 2024
Joseph (Jessippi) and Roberto took us to Sienna, San Gimignano and to the Tenuta Torciano winery. The most rememberable and most cherished part of this trip was when we met the owner and his family at the Tenuta Torciano winery. We had seen them and this winery on U-Tube videos and were so excited that we had an opportunity to meet them. Joseph shared much knowledge about this region and winery with us. My wife and I had just finished a 9-day Mediterranean cruise that started in Barcelona and ended in Rome, and we both have to say, without a doubt, that this tour was the highlight of our vacation.
Biju_V, Sep 2024
The journey, visit to the towns of Siena and San Gimignano are definitely etched in our memory. Special mention to tour guide Dina and driver Roberto, who made the journey very interesting, pleasurable and safe.
Bernard_N, Sep 2024
Wonderful, intimate experience! Our guide Monika and driver Adam were both outstanding. And the Tuscan food, wine and views! Highest recommendation possible from us!
Kathleen_S, Jul 2024
Severino was welcoming and very knowledgeable explaining history and culture. He accommodated me to walk at my pace and stop for a brief rest as needed. The tour was interesting & Severino answered all questions. The driver Maximo was excellent providing a smooth safe ride, opening doors and always being prompt to meet us. The lunch & wine tasting was superior and provided awesome landscapes to take photographs.
