Great Day. Grazie Francesco. We were provided a first rate tour of Tuscany with a driver and guide who could not have done more to acommodate his guests.
We did back to back cruises on Azamara for a total of 18 days - and I can honestly say this was a highlight of the entire trip. Beautiful drive through the countryside to a winery that also included a tour of the working farm. The food and tasting were great but the view from the outdoor tasting area was as good as it can get - you are on top of a hill looking over vineyards, and a few kilometers away is the next hill with San Gimignano and its iconic towers. We then visited San Gimignano and then on to Volterra. We had been to Volterra before on our own and loved its local feel but this tour made us appreciate it even more. Our fantastic guide was born and raised in Volterra. She showed us her high school and pointed out things only a local would know. She also knew the head of the local alabaster factory and we took a tour there with a personal demonstration on how they make a vase out of a block of alabaster. A fantastic day at a fantastic value.
We had the best day of all with Francesco in our 6 week European holiday. His shore excursion of Tuscany included the beautiful towns of San Gimignano and Volterra. The winery tour with lunch overlooking the beautiful Tuscan countryside was a highlight. Francesco is a very safe driver and was waiting in his immaculate car when we docked. His superb singing voice completed the day. Grazie Francesco
We had an amazing time on this almost 9 hour tour. The local company in Tuscany was "DriverInRome" and Laura was our tour guide. Went to many small old towns and the Wine Tasting was at a farm winery. The wine and lunch was wonderful. They all did an excellent job and would use them again. Very professional and worth every penny. Loved it !!
We had a van of eight people. We had a great guide in Francesco that made it truly a great tour. We visited all the sites plus had a few minutes in Pisa. The wine tasting tour was at a picturesque winery with great views of San Gimignano. I would recommend this tour.
Excellent...highly recommended. Gorgeous vineyard with spectacular views. Delicious food and wine with a wonderful tour guide to lead the way!
This tour was excellent! Our driver, Francesco, brought us to the most beautiful places in Tuscany. We visited a gorgeous farmhouse overlooking the sprawling countryside, then went to the majestic town of San Gimignamo. Since we had a small group (only 4 people), so he let us choose where we would like to go for the 3rd stop. We decided to do more wine tasting so he brought us to a beautiful restaurant where we tasted more wine and also had lunch. It was a picture perfect day from beginning to end.
Danielle was with us for the day, but right away I need to mention that the vehicles need better air conditioning. He was very nice and informative. The winery was a great stop with some great views along the way, but you could get car sick. The towns were really cool to stop in and shop around, I thought we had plenty of time. If you have been to Florence before like I have this is a great tour to do. It is a good hour each way. We ended up buying a case of wine and shipped it home. Think $137 euro.
