Great experience and good value!
Alessandro (Alex) was a great driver and guide. This itinerary went together very well, with three distinct experiences, but not rushed and all within nine hours.

Great way to see Tuscany
We loved this tour! We were lucky to be two of only five people on the tour so took it in a van. Our guide, Alex, gave an excellent walking tour of Siena and also gave us time to explore on our own. We loved the wine tasting and lunch at the vineyard and just seeing how beauty of the Chianti area. Our favorite spot of a great tour was San Gimignano, a small town that still had its medieval towers and architecture.
