Maria was so personable and knowledgeable. She explained each step very simply and her English was awesome. Its worth the ride outside of Florence to get a view of an Italian life putside of the city. Recipes were easy to follow and tasted divine! This is worth your visit!

We booked our Cinque Terre tour with Walkabout Tours using the GetYourGuide app. We spent 10 days in Italy this trip and did 8 guided tours and this trip, with our guide Chris at the helm, was hands-down the best thing we did the entire vacation. Chris is not just incredibly friendly and generous with time and attention, but he also had a ton of logistics to manage simultaneously. With steps to climb, hikes to navigate and trains to catch to move between towns, it’s truly a wonder that Chris was able to simultaneously dispense so much information and knowledge, making each town its own special visit, but also keep track of everyone and make sure all were cared for. I regret not asking his WhatsApp number so we might stay in touch post-trip, or possibly welcome him to the States some day. Chris made this trip truly unforgettable and the scenery of course simply speaks for itself. Thank you Chris!

This was great tour, and a fabulous way to explore Tuscany. Our fellow tourists were excellent company and gave us lots of tips for other cities we planned to visit. There is one caveat: these huge tour buses have to park a good distance from the center city, both in Florence as well as during the tour. In particular, the path from downtown Sienna to the bus is a long hike UPHILL OVER COBBLESTONES. Upon our return to Florence at the end of a very long day, we had to walk some 15 minutes in pouring rain to get back to the station. It’s a great trip, but arduous at points. An Australian tourist mentioned that it is better to look around Pisa briefly and take the train back.

I don’t usually go on tours when traveling, but this one was amazing. Our tour guide Alessandro was so helpful and welcoming towards everyone; even giving us tourists tips to navigate Florence! As well as our driver, Giuseppe, which made the entire trip possible, getting us from place to place very fast. Both were fantastic and I would definitely go on another tour because of them!

My husband and I had an amazing time on our Tuscany tour. Our guide, Laura, was amazing. She was very informative and kind. We felt like we got the most out of a day in Tuscany. My favorite stop was the winery. 🍷

Our trip to San Gimignano, Siena, Tuscany, and Pisa was absolutely spectacular—perfect for anyone looking to see the best of Italy’s countryside in just one day! The views of the rolling hills and charming villages were breathtaking, and the experience felt like stepping into a postcard. While the visits to Siena and San Gimignano felt a bit rushed, the team did their best to make the most of our time in each city. A definite highlight of the trip was lunch at a picturesque vineyard. The stunning views, mouthwatering food, and exquisite wine made it a meal to remember. We also visited Pisa and had the chance to see the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was a surreal moment standing in front of this world-famous landmark and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of the area. Our guide, Sarah, was exceptional—fun, professional, and full of enthusiasm, which made the day even more enjoyable. Despite encountering some traffic on the way back due to the Christmas week, our driver remained calm and managed the situation beautifully to get us back on time. The buses were clean and comfortable, and the tour was impeccably organized. I highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting a seamless and memorable way to explore Tuscany and its treasures!

Absolutely amazing walking tour! It took about three hours and our guide Becky was very accommodating with bathroom breaks and stopping for snacks or warm drinks on a very windy morning. I highly recommend this tour.

This food class was incredible. The Florence Pizza and Gelato Class turned out to be the best activity I did in my 6 weeks of travels. Cris, Arla and Tiziano were amazing; so friendly and informative. They were simply brilliant. The location was superb too. So glad I booked this last minute and I’d definitely recommend.

This tour allows you to see incredible sites and tastes of Tuscany. Our tour guide Sara, paired our driver Giuseppe, made for a perfect duo that combined a wonderful sense of humor, knowledge base and overall desire to make our trip the best it could be! Highly recommend this for a day trip out of Florence as it complimented the city exploring perfectly.

The experience was fantastic. Very attentive, friendly staff that definitely taught us some new techniques for making pizza and gelato. These guys were the best!

Alessandro was a brilliant tour guide. The best we have had in Italy for any experience so far. He was funny, knowledgeable and very open to conversations with people. He made us all feel welcome and looked after us well. Giuseppe was our driver and he was also fantastic. Got us from A to B quickly and made us feel safe.

This was a very good tour. Siena was amazing as was the winery lunch. San Gimignano is a beautiful little town. I have one tip though that made our trip heaps better. By the time you get to Pisa it is late in the day and you have travelled in the bus quite a bit. Pisa is a real nothing town - apart from the tower. We found out that we would be spending about an hour in Pisa and then 90-120 minutes for the bus ride home. I looked up the timetable and saw that trains back to Firenze SMN were frequent enough and only took an hour. So once we got off the bus we took a few pics of the tower and headed straight for the train and got back probably 90-120 minutes before the bus would have.

It was fun to ride on the back of the Vespa and my partner really enjoyed driving it. Our tour guides Fabio and the man at the workshop (forgot his name) but he showed us how to ride the vespas were both excellent, best tour guides of the trip so far. So knowledgeable and entertaining and funny, we didn’t get bored once listening to them. One thing to note is if you are tall riding on the back of the Vespa can be a bit tiring on your legs. Another thing is that during winter the roads are slippery and wet and there is mud which can make riding the Vespa a little more dangerous… this is why you need to go slower and more carefully because you may skid and fall off. Other than that it was really fun.

My husband and I took the pizza and gelato making class with Max, Arla and Tiziano. I was nervous at first because sometimes you pay a lot of money for basically a tourist trap and although only tourist were on this tour, it was one of the most fun experiences in our entire Italy trip. The estate was stunning. Every teacher was not only informative but so funny and charismatic. It was like a show whole you were learning. Also the food was amazing! My husband and I said it was the best pizza we had while in Italy. My only critique would be to have one other non-alcoholic option besides water, but that's it! I highly recommend to anyone visiting Florence!

Manolo did a fantastic job. Very informative, kept us on schedule, good sense of humor. He was able to answer every question. Well done!
