Pilgrimage on the Via Francigena!!! - Throughout our travels, we've learned that if we go it alone, the impression we get can't go beyond a "pretty/picturesque city." To understand the stones and buildings you see, you have to turn to experts. Without the tour, we would not have been able to understand why San Gimignano has so many towers, understand why it was built in that location, identify relevant buildings (such as the Order of Malta) or see the marks of machine guns from the Second World War. Our guide was very entertaining, keeping my teenagers attentive the entire time.

Fabulous tour of Siena - Our tour was fabulous! It was a private tour with just two of us, my friend and I and the guide, Ludovica who was great. I had been to Siena before and had been on Tours, but until I took this tour, I really never understood the differences between the different areas and the flags and the pendants and the pageantry. Ludovica brought us to different parts of the city and explained to us all these aspects. She was funny, she was knowledgeable, she was a great teacher to explain Siena to us, and we were very grateful for that. If you ever have an opportunity to go to Siena, I would highly recommend our Tour Guide and guarantee you would have a wonderful time.

Great Tour in San G - We had 4 children on this tour with us and 6 adults. Our tour guide did a wonderful job of making it interesting for all of us. She was very knowledgeable and flexible - we were there on a first communion day and the parade through the streets meant she needed to change her tour a bit but it was lovely. Highly recommend.

Beautiful tour of San Gimignano - We had a wonderful tour with Ludovica through the city. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The tour was informative, fun, versatile. I would definitely recommend them! It helps to get to know a city relatively well within a few hours and maintain a feeling for the city.
