Great tour / amazing value - Our guide Valentina was so knowledgeable about the area and history. She shared great stories and made the entire day enjoyable and fun. She made sure we knew all the best spots at each stop from gelato recommendations to places to snap the best pics. We chose this tour for the small group size and it turned out to just be our family which made it even more special and intimate. This tour definitely delivers on value - you visit three walled cities and experience a wonderful wine tasting and authentic Italian lunch in a beautiful setting. I highly recommend this tour.

Our favourite day of our Italian trip so far! - We had a great day with Antonello! We had originally booked a different tour that couldn’t go ahead, so we ended up on a different tour which ended up being amazing. San Gimignano was our favourite stop, such a beautiful village! And the wine tasting at Torciano was one of the best we’ve had. The customer service before, after and during was also great so I wouldn’t hesitate to book another tour with this company.

Nightmare Experience - From start to finish the entire experience was the most expensive nightmare of my life. The tour we booked was cancelled and we were offered a cheaper tour that went to less locations and was much cheaper. It was advertised as a little over $100 less per person and we were told we’d be refunded the difference, but for two tickets we were only refunded $5.
Then tour day the train that was booked for us had delays, which resulted in the tour leaving without us and my husband and I spending 5+ hours on trains trying to catch up to the group which was the suggestion of the tour company. We finally joined them at the end and got to listen to how much fun the group had, and the group all paying a fraction of what we were charged. I spent the 1.5 hour van drive back to the ending point then the 1.5 hour train journey back in tears after what should have been a relaxing romantic day turned into one of the worst days of my life. I am never booking with Viator, or Italy on a budget tours again.
