We loved this tour. The places were very interesting and clean. Learned a lot of history and our guide was very informative. They took us to a quaint restaurant that served excellent food. We want to come back to these areas again!

Really enjoyed this day. If I was to make any comments it would be that the time in San Gimignano could have been slightly longer as it is absolutely beautiful and I felt we were a bit rushed. Sienna was also beautiful, the guided tour added to the enjoyment but maybe the initial part of the tour could be shortened slightly, the cathedral was amazing and our experience was much enhanced by the guide. The time spent on the bus could have been more informative if the guide didn't have to speak in both English and Spanish. If English only was spoken I feel that a lot more information could have been given about local interests and history. Maybe the days could be split between English and Spanish speaking tours.

Tour of Siena and San Gimignano was great. The medieval towns are full with history and everything still remain the same as it was in the old time.

Loved seeing those great beautiful towns, in spite of long walks from the bus, up hills, to get to the main features of the towns.

We had a marvelous day in these two cities. Our favorite of the two was San Gimignano, a fifteenth century gem of a city. It also has the world's best gelato as voted by the local authorities. We even purchased a ceramic table from here and it was delivered to our home the very day we got back. Can't recommend this enough. Also the luncheon choice of the company for was outstanding, although not included.

The church in Siena was amazing! I just wish we had more time in San Gimignano.

The great thing is we did not have to drive, so we could all view the scenery.

Both towns were absolutely stunning. I wouldn't have wanted to miss them. There wasn't enough time given to see everything. Our tour guide in Siena moved pretty quickly, and started speaking before everyone had gathered, so I missed some of the historic information. There were massive crowds of tourists, so you had to maneuver your way around quite a bit. I felt like we needed more time.

Our local guide was wonderful. Her enthusiasm for her hometown of Siena made our visit memorable. We were fortunate to be deterred from our trip back to the bus by a parade of one hundred boys and young men in medieval costume playing drums and furling flags. What a treat!

The Siena guide was was very good. This is a very good trip to get to see the Tuscan countryside.

An excellent tour that exactly met what we were looking for. The Tuscan countryside was gorgeous, Siena was fun, and San Gimignano was fabulous. In fact, we would have liked the tour even more if it was 30 minutes longer and we did 30 minutes less in Siena and an hour more in San Gimignano.

The tour not only offered the opportunity to see the beautiful country and the legendary cities, but also served to enrich our history and cultural knowledge.

Fabulous tour. Would have like longer in San Gimignano. We had only one hour, but by the time we walked uphill into the town and allowed time to get back to the bus, we really only had forty minutes, which wasn't enough time to see very much at all, especially after queuing ten minutes for a toilet!
