Our Tuscany trip was amazing! Our tour guide Andrea was awesome. He answered any and all questions. From the cheese and wine tasting to the delicious food created by the farm and climbing to the top of the Montalcino Fortress, it was incredible!

The Tuscany tour from Rome was better than I could have imagined. Our guide, Chiara, was knowledgeable, personable, and kind. We visited a small town, 2 wineries, and an ancient fortress. The experience was interesting and lasted the perfect amount of time. We did not feel rushed at all. I was feeling a bit under the weather and the guide was very compassionate and checked in on me throughout the day. She also made great recommendations and even took photos of us to remember the great day we had. 10/10, I would recommend this day trip to anyone.

Andrea was an excellent guide. He was very personable and answered any questions that we asked. The places we visited were off the beaten path which made the experience that much better! It was the best way to enjoy Tuscany!

An excellent day touching upon several wonders of Tuscany. Our guide led us to so many special-and delicious-gems throughout the day. We sampled exquisite cheeses, salamis and wines, enjoyed a relaxed farmhouse lunch in the country and climbed the walls of an ancient castle. Andrei was professional, personable, informative and entertaining. A wonderful day out of the city!

Our tour guide was excellent, she made the excursion very worthwhile. Tuscany met all of our expectations! Tour group was a good match and the small number of participants was great.
