I sent my 2 girls (13 and 16 years) alone on this tour with the guide. She was awesome according to the girls. I think it helped that she spoke such good English. But she very quickly worked out what Dana and Sienna liked and they both came back with bags full of goodies!

Wow! How much did we love the bus tour at night! Of course it did help that it began to snow which added a very special feeling to the entire tour. I think we were a little disappointed with Moulin Rouge. We felt like we were being herded like sheep actually. It was such a rush to get in and we didn't have very good seating. And then we were told we had only 20 minutes to get out and over to the bus or we'd be left behind! Wasn't too happy with the way this was organised unfortunately.

These 2 little towns are so worth seeing. How beautiful they are! We especially loved San Gimignano. The tour guide was again very knowledgeable and helpful.
