What a FABULOUS day trip!!! Our guide Marella was so informative, accommodating and warm in sharing her knowledge of the area!! Highlight was an amazing home cooked lunch with Carmela and learning about her organic Saffron farm with Andrea! The stops in Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, and Volterra were amazing to see!! Omero, the master of alabaster, sharing his beautiful craft with us, was another highlight!! This day trip was truly spectacular and we highly recommend!!! Grazie mille, Marella!!!

We had Bill/Will/William (English versions he offered for his name as spelling will be very wrong if I try to write his Italian name) as our guide and he was brilliant! He was not only fun, knowledgeable, experienced, and polite, but also had great enthusiasm and passion for the history and geography of Tuscany! We took both this tour and the Pienza + Montepulciano one, and had Bill as our guide both times. It was two fabulous days out - best experiences in Tuscany! The medieval towns we visited were beautiful and fascinating, transport was comfortable, and the food...! Our lunch was fantastic! This small group tour was absolutely worth it!

This was the best excursion we’ve ever been on! From the places visited, the scenery, food to the knowledge, humour and hospitality of our guide Guglielmo, it was an incredible trip that we will never forget. Thanks again to the guide for being so hospitable.
