Worthwhile
Julie_S, Mar 2024
Great tour of the countryside with recommendations for gelato and stops for pictures. Allesandro was a pleasure.
Great day in Tuscany!
Kristi_B, Nov 2023
We had a great day which included a wonderful lunch and wine tasting. Alessandro was a fabulous guide and driver. We enjoyed walking around San Gimignano and Sienna at our own pace. And being picked up and returned to our hotel was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend this day trip>
Outstanding Visit to Tuscany
Diane_A, Sep 2023
Alessandro was so knowledgeable and friendly, our lunch visit to the winery was outstanding. Overall, a lovely day with dear friends in one of the most beautiful places in the world!
Alessandro was a warm ray of sunshine on a cold/wet Tuscan day!
schmawn, Aug 2023
Our day with Alessandro was super convenient and a pure delight, despite the cold/wet weather (and food poisoning I had gotten in Venice the day prior which might have made the winery lunch/tasting a challenge if not for how fresh and simply delicious the food was). The pic reflects the weather in Siena (which was still remarkable and worth every minute!). Alessandro is local to Florence and generously shared insights which were invaluable. He is professional, reliable, and a joy to spend time with. We are already scheming about how we might engage him for another Tuscan adventure knowing we can trust his impeccable good taste and excellent service. Highly recommend!
Wonderful day exploring Tuscany.
John_B, May 2023
We had a wonderful day exploring Tuscany. Lunch was at a picturesque winery overlooking a valley and San Gimignano. Our driver, Alex, went out of his way to ensure every detail was perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed trip.
Timely, reliable, safe and fun
Barbara_R, Oct 2022
Alex was so much more than a driver. He gave us lots of information about the areas we were to see and was extremely helpful. Really enjoyed the countryside. Thought both Sienna and San Gimignano were beautiful. Would definitely do this type of trip again in other locations.

Anthony_D, Jul 2022
Great tour of Sienna and San Gimignano. These two towns are visually spectacular. The drive through the countryside of Tuscany is beautiful. Our guide Alessandro was great and recommended a terrific restaurant for lunch in the small town of Monteriggioni.
A perfect day!
Amanda_M, May 2022
The perfect combination of stops, lunch, and a beautiful drive. I recommend taking this tour to see the amazing country side and small towns of Tuscany. Our driver, Alex, was so accommodating and informative. He made the trip incredible !

Alessandro was a wonderful tour guide. We all Enjoyed Siena and especially the tour of winery. The scenery was spectacular. A great introduction to this region of italy
Alessandro was a great tour guide
Adrianna_S, Apr 2022
Alessandro was an amazing tour guide. This was hands down our best part of our 2 week Italy honeymoon. He took us all over Tuscany, was extremely pleasant, gave us many recommendations for food, and called to reserve the most amazing wine tasting and lunch at Podore La Marranoia in San Gimignano. Book this tour with Alessandro!
Great views, great guide, great food/drink
Holly_C, Mar 2022
Alessandro was a wonderful tour guide. He picked us up from our Airbnb, took us to see Siena, where we had free time to walk around and went to a cathedral museum. We bought fruits at an open market. Then we went on to the Casanova winery, where the owner and his wife taught about Chianti and his other projects. We had a delicious meal with wine pairing. Then we saw another small town and back to Airbnb. It was a full day and Alessandro explained everything in detail. We had good conversation. Would recommend to anyone.
Awesome guide!!!
Alicia_R, Mar 2022
Fabulous experience with our guide Alessandro!! I cannot say enough about how thoughtful and Knowledgeable he was. Our party of eight included for young children under the age of 12 and two seniors over 75. He made every accommodation to make our trip memorable and easy.

Marie_Q, Jan 2022
If you have limited time and do not want to miss visiting the wine Tuscany Region and other small villages you must book with UniqueTuscany Private Tours. Alessandro offers a luxury comfortable car for the drive. He can customize the tour to your interest and is very knowledgeable. Do not miss the organic farm experience.

A wonderful day! Alessandro is the best!
Jennifer_O, Sep 2021
There was a group of 5 of us. Alessandro was our guide for the day. We had an amazing time! Alessandro picked us up at our hotel and took us to Siena, San Gimignano, and Chiate. He also took us to another small town for a wonderful lunch. It was a great day. Alessandro was very knowledgeable and personable. He also shared with us other recommendations while we were visiting Florence. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see this beautiful area and we would request Alessandro again.
Amazing private wine tasting and lunch
Kyunghee_M, Aug 2021
Highlight of our visit to Florence. Alessandro was super knowledgeable about the area. The best part was visiting Casanova winery with a private wine tasting and lunch.
