tuscany in one day

Published on Nov, 2024

liked the tour cause it helped me get to small towns in Tuscany that I wouldn't have been able to reach on my own. The transport system in Italy is a bit confusing, but with the bus, it was easy

We liked this tour

Excellent experience

Published on Aug, 2024

The best day of our Tuscany trip so far!! Vanessa is a terrific guide and heightened the experience with her knowledge and warmth. The locations were all beautiful and even time spent on the bus was filled with picturesque scenes. We would highly recommend to anyone that wants to experience as much of Tuscany as possible in one very relaxed, well paced day. Grazie Mille Vanessa!

Beautiful Wine Country of Italia

Published on Jul, 2024

Really enjoyed the wine tasting. We were able to taste 3 different wines. Assorted cheeses and cold cuts. Bread w/ cherry tomatoes and peppers. Just a very pleasant experience and just added so much to experience. 6.5 miles of walking just FYI.

Nice tour
