Stefono was an amazing tour guide: great knowledge of the area, just the right amount of wit, and he cared about us having a good experience! We also had a local guide in Sienna, who was amazing in her own right. The lunch was absolutely delicious with a variety of wines, good food, and a great view! The whole day was a whirlwind and left you ready for a nap on the drive back to Florence, but it was a fantastic experience well worth the price!

Our tour guide Alex was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and shared lots of great information throughout the tour. The food and wine were great and overall it was a time well spent. I highly recommend. San Gimignano is a must see!!!

Lorenzo did a great job, this tour was truly special thanks to him. Would definitely recommend going for the lunch included option, some of the best food I’ve had in all of Italy.
