Small-Group Siena and San Gimignano with Dinner in a Boutique Winery

What a lovely day we had! There were only 8 of us and the tour of Siena was wonderful. I would have liked a little more time in San Gimignano. Our dinner was just fabulous - the food and the experience! Highly recommend!

This tour was a must see! Our driver was very friendly and professional. The town of Sienna was beautiful and rich with history. Our tour guide was very personable and full of information. San Gimignano was also a quint town. Unfortunately it rained while we were there so I don't feel we got the flavor of that town. Speaking of flavor, the Chianti Dinner and wine tasting was fantastic! Delicious food and wine pairings. Bring your appetite and pace yourself! Highly recommend!

This is a very interesting tour with many interesting sites to visit. Siena is a very beautiful town and we have lucky to be there at the preparation day of the Palio di Siena horse race that is held twice each year, on 2 July and 16 August. This atmosphere on the day was really electrifying. I am sure it will even be 10X more electrifying on the actual day itself :- . Be ready for the walk in Siena though. It is quite hilly. San Gimignano is a smaller town than expected but still offer a nice place to visit. The dinner at the end of the tour was a simple one but the wine tasting was great. The dinner also offered the chance to have nice decent amount of chat with different nationalities. Overall it was a nice tour.

Great tour, meal, and wines. I would have missed Siena otherwise. Ordered wines from the winery that showed up no problem as promised. A really great extension to a stay in Florence.

I was really looking forward to this and I was disappointed. Sienna was wonderful and our guide there was very informed and lively. Had we not found a tower in San Gimignano to climb that had beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside it would have just been a tourist shopping stop. The winery was the biggest let down. When you say travel to a Chianti winery to soak up the sunset while eating dinner I would expect to be viewing the sunset while eating. This was not the case. The sunset was down the hill and behind a building from where we ate. The only reason we even caught the sunset was because me and another guest asked about it. And once we were taken down there, the sunset was too far down the horizon to get a could view/picture. The food was good not great but none of it was very warm. In fact the pork with sauce was a bit dry and cold. I don't know how other reviewers got plenty of wine as we only got a tasting of 2- and I mean a tasting. The liquor at the end of dinner was very strong and no one liked it. The driver we had Elisa was sweet and nice. Because of her and the 2 great couples we met on the tour I gave this 3 stars instead of 2. Buyer beware.

Very nice tour to explore 2 of the best towns in Tuscany! The walking tour in Siena was really good with a local guide and you can hear about the contrade history and then have free time in San Giminiano followed by a dinner in Chianti which was super good! Big portions (appetizers, pasta, meat and dessert!) and lot of wine. Totally recommend if you have only one afternoon to explore the Tuscan countryside!

Christian was a pleasant and entertaining guide who took us to Siena first before San Gimignano. The walking tour of Siena could have been shorter see later in my review why or it could have included more extensive specialty tasting. Either way, San Gimignano is lovely with an award winning gelato shop on the right side through the entrance. Then the drive into deep Tuscany country would have been better if done one hour sooner Siena took too long as we arrived at night end of September to the estate. We missed some photo opportunities. The meal was alright and the tasting very limited to below half a glass each time. The place used to produce wine so your dinner takes place in the cellar room which is inviting. A nice ride over all but the meal and the fact that it was dark at our final destination force me to give it 4 stars only.

Guide was very informative. Did not provide guide at San Gimignano. The dinner was more than one hour away from San Gemignano! Dinner seemed to be homemade and delicious

Loved the country side and the tour of Siena. Were disapointed to not have had a guide for the full tour. The driver was very nice but didn't do full commentary. San Gimignano was a lovely old town but full of shops and there was no tour guide to tell you about its history. The dinner was delicious and the wine very nice. The bus could be more comfortable.

This was an excellent tour. We enjoyed the smaller groups. Christian and Matteop were our tour guides, and they made the tour very enjoyable. They had a real passion for what they were doing, and provided many interesting details along the way. The drive through Tuscany was beautiful. San Gimanano and Siena were beautiful cities. Each had a different feel. The best part was the evening Chianti Dinner. the setting was at a winery with a beautiful view for miles you could see Florence. We had a fun group of people. They served a complete dinner with wine, appetizers, multiple courses, and after dinner desert and drinks. Very beautiful and fun!.
