Lorenzo and Alessio were great tour guides. Alessio safely drove us around the Tuscan countryside and Lorenzo gave us a lot of interesting and fun information about Siena and San Gimignano. We had a very nice lunch at a winery and tasted some delicious wines. The food was good too! I highly recommend this tour and thank you Lorenzo and Alessio!

Far exceeded expectations-super special
Stephanie_P, Mar 2024
The drive was beautiful. The tour was run efficiently. The cities were lovely and we had the right amount of time to explore and shop. The surprise was the winery and lunch. I want expecting such a stunning location and wonderful experience. We tasted two olive oils, four wines and had a delicious lunch, all while learning from lovely people in a gorgeous setting. It far exceeded our expectations.
Great day in the country

Our group of nine had a wonderful day full of sunshine. Our guide, Lorenzo and driver, Alessio were great. Lorenzo gave us just the right amount of information as a group and enough free time to wander on our own. The lunch was good, as was the wine. It is a day I won’t forget.
I can't recommend this tour enough!

Lorenzo and Alyessio are fantastic, and we can't rave enough about this tour! We wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Super clean bus, friendly and funny tour guide, and great itinerary! The lunch at the winery was some of the most delicious food that we've had in Italy.
Great day trip out of Florence.

Melleta_M, Jan 2024
We had a wonderful tour guide, Lorenzo, who was very engaging and gave us a great overview tour of Tuscany, going first to Sienna for a short tour, then for a tour, wine tasting and lunch with local specialities at a winery/olive vineyard. Last we visited the stunning San Gimignano and enjoyed some delicious gelato before we headed home. A perfect day and the highlight of our whole trip!

Our guide, Lorenzo, and driver, Alessio, of Prestige Rent were marvelous. Very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, and gave us enough personal time at each stop to explore on our own. Siena, San Gimignano and the Lornano Chianti Classico winery were so interesting. The day flew by. We highly recommend this tour and these guides.
