Guillermo was such an informative & accomodating guide. He enhanced our visit to these two towns with his deep knowledge of Italian history, giving us the proper context to appreciate the time capsules we experienced. Also, the side stops to enjoy extraordinary scenery & share cappuccino with our small group in a small village was an extra bonus. One more shoutout to Guillermo, we have done many Viator tours, and he was one of the best, seeing to everyone’s needs.

Our guide, Guillermo, was incredible. He was great at conversing with us and very knowledgeable about the places we were going. You can tell he really enjoys his job, and he made our trip so worthwhile.

A great way to see Tuscany when travelering without a car! The trip was also accompanied by a charming guide Elio who is full of knowledge and fun facts;) He stopped for us in places that we would not have discovered on our own.
I really enjoyed the experience and it will stay with me for life. Thank you.

Mattia was an excellent tour guide for my wife, son and I. A winemaker by trade, he explained in great detail the wine making process and added some fabulous humour throughout the day.
I’d highly recommend this trip.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide was great and very energetic. The towns and Tuscan scene are very beautiful. The time between stops was long enough to take it all in. The lunch was very nice and fresh. Lots of wine included in the wine tasting.

Can’t say even good things about Guillermo. Our guide was so full of energy and provided us with so much information; not only about where we were visiting but also about historical events, food and wine. The vistas on the tour were breathtaking. The lunch stop was amazing and the optional stop at the wine cellar in Montepuliciano topped off the tour!

Georgia was a great guide who explained so much about all of the different areas we were driving through as well as the towns. We all finished the tour not only happy after a big day but also much more knowledgeable about everything we had seen
