When visiting Florence, don’t miss a day trip to the scenic, gourmet paradise of the Tuscan countryside. On this small-group tour, visit the remarkably well-preserved medieval town of Siena, home to a magnificent cathedral and the famous Palio horse race. Indulge your taste buds with a seasonal lunch and wine tastings at a family-run farm in the Chianti region, and wander the storybook streets of the UNESCO-listed village San Gimignano. Group size is limited to 14 for a more personalized experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion. It was a small group of 14 which made it manageable and easy to get around. We got a lot of information from our tour guide and found the various sites to be beautiful and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting, and we're surprised at the pairings with food that were offered. We loved having the opportunity to purchase some of our favorites to have them shipped home as well.

Our tour guide, Ischmal, was very knowledgable, organized, and pleasant to be with. It was relaxed, but he kept us moving along so we wouldn't miss anything. He also let us have a little time on our own to explore and purchase a few things in Siena and San Gimignano. The group was a little large (16) but we really enjoyed everyone in the group. It was a very full and beautiful day and a great way to spend my birthday!

The trip was so much fun! I loved seeing the country side of Italy, and learning about all of the small towns. The winery experience was incredible! I only wish we would have had a little more time in each town to explore. Giada our guide was fantastic, and our drivers were excellent!

Took this tour with my daughter. Great places to visit! Interesting history. - wish there would have been a bit more guiding / info regarding the history and churches.
Absolutely loved the wine and food tasting. -beautiful vineyard and great hosts!
Our group was in 2 separate vans with 1 guide in only one of the vans. Not sure how informative that van was, but in our van the bus driver didn’t explain anything ( other than the US cementsry). Wish there would have been a bit more interaction.
Other than that, it was a wonderful day and we enjoyed it a lot! We would definitely do it again!
Stephanie was a great guide and easy to understand!

Our guide, Nabalse, was terrific. He was very engaged and continually narrated our surroundings. You have a much greater appreciation for what you are seeing when someone knowledgeable explains the history behind it. Our favorite part was going to the winery, having the beautiful lunch and seeing how things are done. This was the highlight of our trip to Florence.

Lunch at winery was great but our guide kept talking and didn’t allow the wine expert to talk. Food and wine was very good. 14 people is too much for one guide. Very little free time in Siena and Gimignano.

Sandra (guide) and Francesco (driver) were wonderful. They both were very knowledgeable about Florence, Siena and San Gimignano including quaint cultural influences. Both answered all of our questions we had and made it a fun day. Sandra was very aware of the right pace to set in the hilly towns and gave the right level of information of what we were seeing. The wine tasting and lunch were very good and a hidden gem. Highly recommend this to give you an overview of the area.

The guide, the towns, and the trip overall was amazing. The highlight for everyone was the lunch and win tasting at the vineyard. Even those who weren’t
super into wine said that was a highlight. Beautiful and a great selection of wines for every palate. I highly recommend this tour. Of the many tours we took, this one is at the top.
