Picturesque Monteriggioni is the quintessential Tuscan village, encircled by medieval walls and perched on a hilltop above a rolling expanse of olive groves and vineyards. Stroll through its postcard-perfect center of cobblestone piazzas, pretty churches, and Renaissance townhouses and enjoy the authentic atmosphere.
This tour was fabulous and beautiful. Marco, our tour guide was very informative, hilarious and kind. He even guided us on our Tram ride back to Florence. Highly recommend!
Great trip! Staff was very helpful and kind and knowledgeable. Wine tasting was the only slightly disappointing part - same glass provided for 3 different wines. Countryside was stunning and we loved Sienna ( would have liked another hour there ) and San Gimignano ( another hour as well ). Be prepared for a lot of walking and a loooong day but well worth it all.
Beautiful views touching the best Tuscany has to offer
Wonderful day. Siena tour guide was pleasant. I would suggest skipping the pre fixed lunch, food was just ok and took too much time from the visit. Also Lorenzo winery was beautiful with stunning views but the tasting was just ok.
Some other reviews mentioned there was a lot of walking, but I didnt think it was too bad - it isnt always possible to be dropped at the door, and then you walk around the town anyway, so the walking is ok. We spent the right amount of time at each location. It would have been nice to be able to take a pic of Monteriggioni from the outside where it is possible to see all of the towers. The tour guide was excellent, running the tour in English and Spanish. A full day but the bus ride between locations, and the ice cream, gives you a chance to rest and recharge.
Our guides were tentative & excellent. The bus accommodations comfortable. Great tour. Our package included lunch & I do not recommend that. The food was fine along w/location however the service was below average. Finally we left without paying for our one glass of wine because no one came to our table, they brought the wrong wine & regardless of being told we wanted a different o wine from our first (included) glass. Two different waiters were not concerned w/ good service, we were ignored. We attempted to have other staff attend to us but w/ no response. We finally left because we were going to miss our bus. I feel time was wasted at that restaurant. Via toe has a good reputation, if you want to continue that reputation I suggest seriously talking w/ that restaurant. Other than this, we enjoyed our day.
Thank you.
The well informed and happy staff. "Manni" was a great help at all times for all questions. The tour was not drawn out and we had enough free time to look around.
Extremely well organised and enjoyed it all. The tour leader was great as was the destinations. Wine tasting was great and seeing the sights was excellent.
The day was long but the guide and driver gave excellent service. The hostess at the winery spoke so fast that you couldn’t understand her.
More time at San Gimignano would of been welcomed
What an outstanding day out, the coach trip was very comfortable, the scenery was amazing and every location we visited was packed with interesting and historic features. We especially loved San Gimignano. Gloria was our guide and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for making our day out one of the highlights of our trip to Europe.
Our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgable and spoke several languages. Made the trip as easy as possible for all of us and made sure we had the best experience. Chianti was the highlight with a brilliant tour and lunch at a winery. Sienaq, San Gimignano and Monteriggioni were breathtaking.
