Expensive and not worth the money

eemgee, Sep 2023

It was a really nice day, but a long drive, 3 hours each way for 350 euros. The person driving the car did not give us any information explaining really about the towns visited. We also did not follow the itinerary that was given by viator. The tour was cut short by about 2 hours. Viator should not list an expensive tour and then not have their employee follow the itinerary, especially that it was only the two of us. I feel a partial refund should be given back to me. Do not book this tour if you can go to each of these places by train or bus on your own.

Adventure in Tuscany

jacurt2000, Mar 2023

We were picked up at our hotel and whisked away on a lovely trip to Tuscany. Serena, our guide, gave us ample freedom to do whatever we wanted, along with her pointing out all the beauty along the adventure. We stopped for coffee prior to San Gimignano. Serena helped us navigate the coffee shop. San Gimignano was beautiful. We walked the streets, went to shops, as Serena navigated. So beautiful. Next, was a light lunch and wine tasting. The grounds were unbelievable. Like every Tuscan picture. The wine was nice, along with the lunch. Everyone at the winery was so kind and attentive. Final stop was Siena. Wow! So much history all right in front of us. Serina gave us whatever information we desired. She was so flexible and accommodating. It was a long day, but one we will not forget.

Thank you very much for your review ☺️

Fabulous day!

Tess_S, Jan 2023

The drive was about 3-hr long from Rome but worth seeing both places. I wanted to take this trip, to get a taste of the different towns, although rushed because there were schedules to follow, first Sienna, then San Gimignano and then wine tasting. Now seeing the towns I do want to stay longer the next time…Thank you to Fabio and our driver (I apologize, I forgot his name) for being so professional and on schedule.

Superbe

Thank you very much for the great review! We're happy you enjoyed the beautiful Siena and San Gimignano to the fullest.

Excellent history and Wine Tasting

stlbluesfan2017, Jun 2019

This was a trip wanted by the mother in law. Siena history about the districts and the horse race is very interesting as well as the old mid evil architect. You are then whisked away to wine tasting and different types of Brochette. Loved the wind and food and our winery guide was excellent and nice. Ordered bottles to be delivered to home in the US. Then went to San Gimignano, again nice history and mid evil architect. recommend this trip

Siena, San Gimignano and a great...

Jim C, May 2017

Siena, San Gimignano and a great truly Italian meal how can you go wrong. We had a guide and a driver which makes it handy not worrying about parking. The views at San Gimignano are incredible. This has now become our favorite village in Italy.
