Just one Word. Wow!!!!. Becky our tour guide she is just the best Guide in this planet, She gave us a great experience for our honey moon. Take this tour and ask to be with her. The best part of the tour is everything but the farm was awesome. Becky keep doing your job like you did with us and God bless you.
The Tuscan tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The cathedral in Sienna is one of the most impressive I have seen anywhere. Out tour guide, Sandra, was first rate. She was knowledgeable and very friendly. Our driver did a very fine job. The lunch at the Tuscan farmhouse was very well done. The time allotted for each city was perfect. There really is nothing to see or do in Pisa except the Tower, and we had ample time to see and photograph it.
tour guide Sandra was excellent!!!
Absolutely the best tour I've ever been on..... perfect...although less time in Pisa would be OK!! Our tour guide was awesome...Becky, I think was her name...British accent.
Very good mix of places and the lunch was a good break from the usual places. Very highly recommended and the best tour I undertook during this holiday.
Great trip, especially if you only have a day and want to hit all the highlights. Lunch at the winery was fantastic, guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and even the driver was pleasant.
The tour was extremely enjoyable and great value for money. We had a great time and enjoyed the lunch at the farm. Thank you Claudia for a great day, your commentary was very informative.
What a wonderful day! All five of us truly enjoyed our day in Tuscany. Claudia, our tour guide, was wonderful. I would take the same tour again. I have already recommended the tour to someone planning to go to Italy.
Very nice tour. Siena and San Gimignano are amazing cities. Our lunch at the winery was great and had fabulous views of the Chianti region and San Gimignano. Our guide Sandra lot of fun, committed and very closely with the group. Pisa, not much to say.
We really LOVED Best of Tuscany Tour and it definitely ranks as one a highlights during our Italy trip! Our guide was Tannis, and she was very sweet and very knowledgeable about Tuscany! I thought it was great that she filled us in on some history of Florence as well, a major plus! We loved seeing Siena and learning about the Palio and all the different districts with a local guide. San Gimignano was beautiful and we enjoyed some gelato from the 1 Gelaterria in the world, delicious. Pisa was great as well but our favorite stop was definitely the winery - wow what a picturesque place with rolling hills and the town of San Gimignano as the back drop. The food was AMAZING and the wine was so smooth and plentiful - we even bought two bottles to bring back with us! This tour was run very efficiently and we would not change anything about it AND you really get your moneys worth. If we tried to organize this in our own with car rental, etc, there is no way we would be able to see and enjoy everything, plus the big lunch and all the wine they serve. We are so grateful for this amazing tour!. A few side notes 1 - Get to the bus meeting place earlier than 815am if you want a decent seat, we got stuck in the last row. 2 - If you wish to order some of the wine once you get back to the US you can do so through www.parkaveliquor.com. 3 This tour company now offers a Cinque Terre Day Trip which we did and was GREAT! 4 - BOOK THIS TUSCANY TRIP, you will not regret it!!!

Or, alternatively, you're free to marvel the sights of Siena at your own pace, enjoy a drink in an open air cafe and meet the locals.
Enjoy a stroll among Chianti vineyards, olive groves and wine cellars before indulging in a traditional Tuscan lunch amongst the Sienese hills where Chianti wine is produced. Surrounded by grapes vines you'll have the opportunity to meet fellow travelers while feasting on local foods including cold meats, salads, pasta and bread. A wine-tasting class will be held during lunch including free samples of wine and olive oil (which are also available for purchase).
After lunch you will visit San Gimignano where you can roam the maze of cobbled streets and small squares, grab a gelato and walk between San Gimignano's famous 14 towers. Your final stop is Pisa, where you can take an up-close inspection of The Leaning Tower, view the Cathedral, the Baptistery and monumental Cemetery in Pisa before venturing back to Florence where your full-day tour concludes.
