What travelers are saying
- ShanelleSanta Monica, CA2,664 contributionsThis had a great view of the city and included the Basilica. Compared to the Duomo, there were slightly less steps to climb, but the foot traffic went both ways so it was a bit harder to maneuver. Note that there’s high metal bars at the top for protection which may affect photos. There’s a couple of lower points to stop and see the views from before continuing your ascent. You need a ticket to access this, and can use the Bruneschellini Pass (pre purchase beforehand online). Definitely avoid if you’re claustrophobic and/or are afraid of heights. Wear comfortable shoes as well.Written May 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jessica JNew York City, NY5 contributionsWow this is a long climb but definately worth it. The view is amazing but I definately needed a break when we got back downWritten March 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KittyStuffWaco, TX34 contributionsDone lots of escape rooms and the first was so good we did both. Very challenging, but not "stupid confusing" like where you have to make totally not obvious leaps. All the clues were super clear once you figured them out. Probably one of the best put together escape rooms I've done in awhile!Written June 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Josh Bodd4 contributionsFirstly it’s worth noting we did this in Italian, and I’m not sure it can be done in English, but if you have someone Italian with you who can translate it should be ok for you.
We found it very good, and very scary! Really liked the effort and detail put into the rooms. Was incredibly complex which is fun (not too easy) but they include red herrings to throw you off which can waste a lot of time and you can’t really know if it’s supposed to be solved or not, which was a little annoying but didn’t ruin the experience.
The staff were super friendly very scary, and made things really fun for us!
Thanks for having us :)Written October 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In all our years of travel excursions/tours we thought this topped all of them.
Our group of 6 was led by Daniele and Lorenzo, both were wonderful, fun and informative. I won’t rehash the day’s itinerary, it’s on their website, but important to note is how good these guys were with the novices in our group. Myself and one other were experienced motorcycle riders, the others had no experience . They were patient and instructive, and made sure safety was paramount. The Vespas were clean and appeared well maintained.
The ride up to San Gimignano was so much fun, and done within the groups ability. We stopped occasionally for stories, info and pics. Lunch at the winery was superb, not junk food, and the wine tasting was informative and fun We are not drinkers do can’t really compare it to other wines, but it was all delicious
Another thing… we had issues booking on line 2 months in advance so I contacted them by phone. The owner was fantastic. He didn’t even ask for a deposit. I got periodic texts checking in, updates. It was just excellent customer service .
I could go on but the bottom line is we both thought the day was worth every penny. We had so much fun I know we’ll talk about it for years to come. Stop looking and book these folks. It’s a good company.Written May 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My husband and I did the Vespa tour and had lunch and wine at this beautiful castle winery (making wine and olive oil for over 1000 years!). I rode with my husband but you can chose to ride together or separate. It was amazing and I’d highly recommend. The scenery was stunning, it was super fun zipping around on the vespas, the guides were very personal, the food and wine was great, and the guides takes great pictures of you at various stops along the way. So glad we chose this route!Written April 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jenn W1 contributionOur guide, our lunch hosts, the vespas, Tuscany - all exceptional! Alessandro was a fantastic guide who had so much intimate knowledge of the region. He was so friendly and we felt entirely safe and comfortable the entire time. Lunch was a truly special opportunity to eat in the home of a local family who were so kind and so wise and so welcoming. We could not have had a better day or a better way to explore and experience Tuscany!Written March 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Krystine R13 contributionsWe had an amazing day with Dejan. He was a fantastic guide who really cares about his clients and works to maintain their safety. Don't get your feelings hurt I'd you can't ride the Vespa. It's tough and the roads are windy. Trust that he knows who can and can't do it. The winery and vineyards are stunning. Food and wine tasting was delightful! Do not miss your chance to do a Vespa Tour through the rolling hills of Tuscany!Written March 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shelbi V1 contributionHands down the best way to see Florence! John was incredible! Very knowledgeable and so accommodating with our 20 month old daughter. The route was easy to navigate and thoughtfully mapped out. Some of the best views of the city and a nice visit to a local winery with delicious wines and snacks! John even recommended an amazing place to eat lunch once we were done. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Please go do this! You won’t regret it.Written April 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kristin N1 contributionWe did the Wine Ride with Chris as our guide and it was the highlight of our trip! Chris was very knowledgeable and a great guide! All of the wineries were excellent as well as the food, and the scenery was beautiful! Chris even helped carry the wine we purchased for our final bike leg. I can’t recommend this tour enough!Written June 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Maggie SNew Haven, CT4 contributionsMattia was an excellent guide, making us feel comfortable from the very start. He kept us laughing and we enjoyed the views even in the rain.

- Keith P1 contributionOur favorite experience during our entire Italy trip! Hilary was the most amazing sommelier and tour guide. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! Choco the truffle hunting pup and his owner Francesca were also incredible hosts at their beautiful Tuscan villa. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

- Z P1 contributionI had a fantastic time on the San Gimigmona to Siena bike tour! Piero was a very good tour guide and leader for our group. Got to see beautiful countryside as well as toured 2 walled cities. Even gave us great restaurant recommendations! The bike equipment was excellent. All in all a highlight of my stay in TuscanyWritten June 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nina1 contributionI joined the Amalfi Coast weekend trip with Smart Trip and it was the best decision I could have taken. Staff were awesome and helpful, they were always available for me 24h a day. They made sure everything was on time and moving smoothly and they made personal connections with me and my friends group. An awesome weekend experience, I highly recommend Smart Trip to everyone!Written May 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
