Best idea ever.
My wife and I booked this tour in December for our Italy trip. Due to the time of year, we were the only ones scheduled that day for the tour. It honestly couldn’t have gone better. Three stops: Piazzale Michelangelo, the town of San Gimignano and the winery for some wine samples and lunch with views of Tuscany. Both of our guides were super informative and just a blast to hang out with. If you’re considering something like this to “get out” of Florence for a bit, this is it!!!’

A great day
This tour was relaxing, informative and such a great day from start to finish. After being in the cities for a little bit, getting outside to see Tuscany was a perfect option. The winery we went to was super welcoming and had a great spread of food and tastings for us. Thanks for a great day!
