Excellent
This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Elina, and our driver, Marco, were excellent companions. The lunch and visit to a Tuscan winery was far above expectations. The stops at Piazza Michelangelo, Sienna, and San Gimignano were well guilded but also allowed enough time for photo and explorations.

Great
It was lovely to spend time in Siena with our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Laura. We had a lovely lunch at Il Colombaia winery and learnt about their organic wines. The only thing that spoilt it was discovering the price list for locals in the shop. We were charged much more per bottle. I don’t think this is fair. San Giminiano was a tunnel of tourists but the countryside was beautiful and it was an interesting contrast to Siena. Marco, the bus driver, was very nice and helpful. Queuing for toilets is an issue both in Siena and San Giminiano. Often there is only one or two.

We had booked into to do the pasta making and lunch as part of the Tuscan day experience. This was replaced with lunch and wine tasting. Would have preferred the pasta making as we are not wine drinkers however enjoyed the lunch . Greta our tour guide explained Florence’s heritage well and kept the group entertained
