Review of a Florence day trip to San Gimignano, Siena, Monteriggioni, and Chianti with Tuscan lunch and wine tasting.
“This was a great way to experience Tuscany if you only have a day. Comfortable bus, great locations and the included lunch/wine tasting was fantastic. Tour guide Sandro was very informative. My only recommendation would be to shorten the time in Siena - it seemed over long and made the day very long.”

Review of the Florence to Cinque Terre day trip, covering four villages, trains, optional boat ride, lunch, cost, timing, and practical tips.
“The organization and logistics are complicated but brilliantly executed in our case. If you are lucky, you’ll get a guide like John and a bus driver like Mario? Both exceptional professionals. At first stop I could”not hear the instructions, and asked John to repeat them at the next stop which he did from then on. Using his white board which we could photo helped immensely. The company needs to provide portable microphones for the guides, they are not expensive. This is essentially a “guided transportation tour”, not a guided tour. Do not expect any background or history about the stops. Expect crowds of tourists, gobs of restaurants and souvenirs shops,…”

Cook fresh pasta, ravioli, bruschetta, and tiramisu after a guided Florence market tour with a local chef and Chianti lunch.
“Great cooking class with anicoló. The only downside was the guy who greeted us (Jon) who was impolite, we came in early as specified by the instructions, he could've been nice in saying they're not ready to host us yet but he chose the rude way, his colleagues were extremely nice and kind and dealt with the matter professionally. Otherwise everything was great.”
Cycle through Chianti from Florence with scenic country roads, a castle wine tasting, Tuscan lunch, and support for the steepest hill.
