Would do this again - If you are a bourbon hunter, you'll be surprised by what you can find on this excursion. If you are a Scotch hunter, you, too, may be surprised by what you can find on this trip. Not gonna say what.
Definitely not gonna say where. This isn't a joke. Now that I have your attention.....
This was a nice excursion. Glad I didn't have to drive to these places. Tight roads with pedestrians and bicyclists the closer we got to the little villages. We still got lots of steps in exploring these places. We enjoyed some delicious Gelato. There are some breathtaking vistas.
The highlight for me was the wine tasting and lunch. We have done dozens of wine tastings at home. They were nothing compared to the first-rate explanation and coaching we received here. There was also basalmic vinegar experience. Would you ever think to pair vinegar with ice cream? I hadn't but I am gonna give it a shot now! Also gonna try it with strawberries.
Of the villages we visited, I enjoyed Siena a lot. Lots to explore. The piazza where they hold the horse races is a wonder to behold! Gordon Breckenridge's works are worth checking out. Just know Siena is much more pricier than other places. A beer, a spritzer, and an espresso = 20€. Not complaining, just saying.
Our guide was Riccardo. He was knowledgeable and interesting to discuss Italian history with. Our driver was Rudolfo. He got us in and out of some tight spots quite skillfully.
My one complaint is the gathering point at the start. There were four other companies and tours gathering at the same time in the same area. The companies were all dressed similarly, too. It was a very confusing time because people invariably got in the wrong que only to find out their tour was somewhere else. It was a stressful time at the start.
Overall. I WOULD definitely do this again. If we return with our family, it was a nice way to get out of Florence and see the "real" Italy. There were 52 people on our tour and we still had plenty of time to see and do what we wanted. The large group we were with was respectful of each other's time and space. The bus had two doors making entry and departure very seamless. We'll worth the price we paid.

Fantastic day, loved every minute! - This tour helped us see three towns when we had a short few days in Florence!
Our guide Fabi was fantastic and walked us through each area carefully. We had insight into each area and a lovely wine tasting with a small accompanying lunch. Best part was the starters and tasting the chanti wine!
I highly recommend this tour for seeing the most in a day and for value❤️

What a great day! - What a great day! Marta was a great tour guide, and Sergio, a very smooth driver. Siena and San Gmignano are beautiful of course. We did not read the fine print that Montereggioni is basically closed in the winter so we did not go there. They were nice enough to drive a bit out of their way to allow us to take a picture of the town.

Disappointing experience - I signed up for this tour (Viator)months ago and the tour was advertised as a small group (English) and it would end at about 2. But it seems that that is not what the tour provider (3rd party) was offering. What we got is about 80 people English/spanish an all day event. Got back at about 8:00pm. The guides (Marta and Hilaria) did a great job but it was not what was advertised on Viator site. Very disappointing. I have used Viator for years but this was, sadly, the worst experience.
