He was engaging, informative, funny, and knowledgeable. Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, and lunch at the winery were beautiful. It is a long day so be sure to dress comfortably. This day trip was one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend going on this tour.”

I booked the 50 person large group tour and it ended up being 8 of us- so it was quite lovely and very enjoyable. The car ride is a bit curvy, so if you have motion sickness, sit by the window and maybe bring medicine to help just in case.”
