Tour was extremely value for money. There was only six of us. Meeting point was easy to locate. Our guide, Vincenzo (not sure if I got the name and/or spelling right) was very amiable and experienced. One thing though, I wouldn’t suggest going for the lunch (though the price difference is really negligible). Not that the lunch was bad, it was worth the penny paid but its not everyday that you get to visit Siena. I recommend that you check out other more popular food places in Siena to make the most of your time. Winery we visited was mediocre but nothing to complain about for the price point. If you’re in tuscany for the winery, look elsewhere or go on your own. This experience is suitable for people who want to visit the towns :)

It was a very well paced day, full of fascinating history and feast for the eyes. The guided tour around Siena was wonderful. We did a lot of walking (we clocked nearly 8km by the end of the trip) but our 6 year old was unfazed and he is not a walker. Make sure you allow plenty of time to get to the meeting point as it’s outside Florence. The tour guides were lovely and seemed invested in their roles. Five stars all round.

très belle excursion avec de belle visite et découverte en Toscane! On aurait juste aimé passer un peu plus de temps à San Gimignano et peut-être un peu moins à Sienna! les guides étaient vraiment gentils et super!

It is a worthy day trip to the 3 most beautiful towns in Tuscany. Unless you have a car, or wise it is hard to visit 3 towns in one day hence this trip is value for money

It was wonderful and well worth it. Our guide, Vincenzo, was great and didn’t crowd u. Gave great info and let you explore independently. Highly recommend it.
