Based on the website description we did not anticipate the amount of walking, stairs and steep inclines that we would have to navigate. It was not a “stroll” through the streets as depicted but rather a face-paced walk covering several miles. Tour guide walked very fast so we had to miss several parts of the tour as my companion, a senior, was unable to keep up. The guide would not adjust her pace so my companion and I ended up staying behind at several areas because it was too stressful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Sites were interesting. Lunch served at the winery was excellent. Driver was courteous, friendly and safe.

Overall, I enjoyed the tour. It was a convenient way to visit interesting sites near Florence. The tour felt small and fairly personal.
The one thing that I would point out is that because our group was fairly small (7 plus guide and driver), we were able to get a small van that allowed us to go into city centers which was very convenient. However, because I was traveling solo, I was asked to sit up front between the driver and the guide which was a pretty tight space and not that comfortable during the rides between cities. Considering I paid the same amount as everyone else for the experience, I feel like I got the short end of the stick.

I absolutely loved this tour! Our guide Elena was fantastic! She made the experience unforgettable. From her knowledge of the cities we visited to her interactions with all of the tour, I just can't say enough great things about her. Our visit the to winery was incredible also with a fantastic host Judy. She provided us with an amazing meal, wine, olive oil...we did not leave hungry! This tour was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend it.

Giada was our tour guide and she did a marvelous job of explaining the significance of each stop we made. And the wine tasting stop at the Tuscan farm was outstanding. We purchased several bottles of wine to be shipped home and some olive oil as well. I highly recommend this excursion.
