This was a well run, spaced out tour.
Our driver Antonio and tour guide Elisa were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable.
The trip itself was brilliant and gives you the opportunity to see so much of Tuscany in 1 day.
The farm we visited gave us a lovely guided tour and a great lunch with plenty of wine. They even offered to give us more food!
All throughout the bus journey Elisa pointed out points of interest and explained them in a way that keeps your attention.
She offered other assistance too. Any questions regarding anything else she was more than happy to answer.
I can't really fault anything. Bring your walking shoes!
Thank you.

Elisa was super knowledgeable about everything and gave us tons of history on the sights without being too forced.
The tour was also super well paced - too often you dont have time to actually see anything, with many stops being picture only. But with this tour you were actually given time to see Siena, San Girmigniano, and Pisa with adequate amount of time in each.
Highly reccomend!
Hello Tina,

Really good one day tour at an excellent price. We met our excellent guide Elisa at 8am and took the coach to Siena, where we were joined by another guide who took us through the colourful history of the city and around the huge ornate cathedral (included in price). Earpieces were provided to ensure we could hear clearly at all times. Although we hadn't booked the wine tour and lunch, we were offered the chance to pay a bit extra to join that part - and glad we did. The food was really good and wine plentiful.
We then spent a little over an hour at the ancient medieval city of San Giminano and tried some gelato from a world championship winning gelato restaurant, before the final stop of the day at Pisa to view the Leaning Tower and back on time to Florence. Only slight downside of the trip was some longer walks from the coach stop to sights, but assume this is to keep the price down.
Overall a fantastic day out in Tuscany and great service from the guides and driver all day.
Hello Trevor,
We are immensely grateful for your wonderful words about the service offered by our staff. Glad to see that you could also enjoy the meal and the view from the winery. Unfortunately not all buses are allowed to get so close to the town centres.
Hope to see you again.
Kind regards

This was one of my favorite things I did in Italy during my 4 days in Florence. I went to Sicily for 10 days on a tour too. Picking fresh veggies was great. making the pizza dough was more work than I knew. But the pizza I made was the best I ever had. The instructors were great. Angela was encouraging and helped us make really yummy gelato. I loved that we were able to taste everyone's. Luce and Ludo made me laugh a lot while making pizza. This class was worth the money. I highly recommend it. It's been almost a year since my trip and this was one of the best memories. The bus trip wasn't far to the gorgeous farm house. The scenery where the farm house was, is gorgeous. Photography is my hobby and I have the photos to prove it.
Hello Wanda,

Luca, Angela and Lodovik will be full of joy to read your amazing review. Thank you very much!

Lots of fun, learned some new skills Cris,Luca and Luigi are all fun guys fantastic english and a genuine passion to share their expertise.
Location is just outside florence and a very short taxi ride, but you feel like you are quite remote as you look out across the landscape from the farmhouse on the side of a hill with a chianti in hand
