TUSCANY WITH ALESSIA, Alessandra, Patricia 02/11 Arriving at linking point good, again the bathroom cost, weather make you use the bathroom a lot. 1 Euro every time.. Coordination with the guide good, language and knowledge very vast. Type of Guide : Nice and easy- recommend to slow in the translation since apparently Italy speaks a litter fast. City SIENNA, a hiking walking Cathedral - time provided by the tour guide not acceptable since your requirement to return is limited, The tour would ask you to walk 40 minutes and expect you t return in 5 minutes. Time allocated Failures- Visit to the winery - Very good choice Drinks/ food/ allowing you to have a first hand as you do a direct purchase . Departurinng to Saint Gimignano. Very nice view, however falling to know Who was Saint Gimignano The tour would ask you to walk 40 minutes and expect you t return in 5 minutes. Travel to Pizza Time Good how ever Failure in Consideration of traveling Stops / weather will force the body to use bathroom .2 plus hr of travels Coordination in Pizza / train good ideal Very Respectfully Federico Llanos United States Army Officer Retired.

Then following the curvy and panoramic roads of Tuscany you'll reach San Gimignano the splendid Medieval town declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This place is a real jewel and you'll fall in love with the view of its 14 towers, narrow roads, local shops and panoramic views on Chianti area. During summer season do not forget to taste the best gelato in the world.
Afterwords you'll stop by in a local winery where you’ll have a typical Tuscan lunch accompanied by a wine tasting.

The only grioe i have is in Sienna. We had a guided tour of Sienna w/ the Basillica. When our local guide was done with the tour we werw expexted to back track the whole route in 15 minutes to make the tour meet up. This is not resonable. You have to allow a minimum of another half hour if not 1 hr. We didint get to finish exploring the church.
Excellent experience -the whole trip was very well planned -our tour guide Marco lead us through the day with lots of relevant information and good cheer -everything was done on time and overall it was a day well spent
Flame was an amazing guide with excellent English speaking which made our trip so much easier to enjoy. Great knowledge and helpful tips. Really enjoyed each place we visited. Would recommend this trip.
Everything ran to time and smoothly, Nicolo and Marco were exceptional guides. Wonderful to see 3 different places and have a great lunch and wine experience in one day! The coach was comfortable. I would highly recommend the walking tour option in Siena, with Lorenzo.
Leonardo and Marco were amazing- they made it fun and kept us interested - great guys !!!
Excellent trip well worth the money. Nicola and Mercurio were the best, so knowledgeable and full of hints and tips gold star to them both. Although this tour was a long day, they made the day fly by and being in Pisa at the end of the day meant it was quieter. Siena was beautiful, the wine tasting and food great & they catered for coeliac which was fantastic. We loved San Gimignano such a beautiful place and yes the gelato was definitely worth the queue Would I recommend this tour, yes 100%
Excellent trip to Sienna, S. Gimiano and Piza . Also, we had a nice lunch with wine tasting. Our guide Niccolo was absolute gem. Very knowledgeable and intertwining. He always looked after us and provided interesting information. Our driver Stephano done excellent job! 💪 I loved every minute! Highly recommended!
Our guide Nicolo was an amazing guide. Very informative, friendly and watched out for all of us. He is wonderful and represents your company well!!! Great experience, great tour and worth the money!
Niccolo and his team were awesome and exceptional / it made our Tuscany experience wonderful..
Amazing experience. Special thanks to Sofia and Alessandra for their hospitality and the way they went out of their way to accommodate our requirements
What a fantastic day, after visiting siena, very pretty, then lunch at the Chianti region with the wine tasting, then San Gimignano, which was also very beautiful with fantastic views then finished the day off at Pisa for some photo opportunities , a well worthy trip and pleasant weather.
Fantastic day. Niccolo and Mercury (driver) outstanding. Niccolo was very helpful and full of knowledge.
Mille was a great guide and explained everything very well.
It’s a very long day and a bit rushed but it achieves what they advertise. I didn’t understand why the dropped us off so far from sightseeing, as a 70plus I didn’t expect to chalk up 16000 plus steps on a moderate walking tour. Alessia, Tula and Alessandra were amazing hosts. Michel the driver was a gentle and amazing driver.
Thank you for a wonderful and thorough tour Ale Baccaro, you were wonderful, considerate and thoughtful. You made our time memorable and we enjoyed our guided tour with you. Thank you to the driver for taking and bringing us back to our destination safely. I only wish there were halal options available for the lunch. Thank you so much for the lovely tour.
Great tour! Lots of information. Wonderful presentation. Really enjoyed it. Especially noteworthy for helping out with package storage.
The Trip was A bit Hectic as we had to cover 3 sites. Could have given a little bit more time in Siena as it was the main Attraction and involved a lot of walking. Enjoyed the Wine Tasting and Tuscany Lunch which was value for money. Tour Guide Alessia was good and so was the Driver with his safe Driving. Local Guide in Siena was not very impressive.
Alessia the best tour guide in Florence....and Michelle the best driver!!!
NICOLO is the best! Wonderful excursion from beginning to end!
The trip was good and the tour guide Niccolo was nice, attentive and very helpful. He provided visitors with more info than needed. Will choose My Tour in Italy again.
It was a wonderful experience! Everything was beautiful, and I highly recommend this tour. Patricia and Fiamma were both very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful, making the whole day even more special. Thank you for such a lovely experience!
The guides were very friendly, knowledgeable. Though I had booked a small group tour, I was shifted to a large one due to some last minute changes and the pickup point was changed from city centre to a point outside the city (buses in Florence are not punctual, so it became an issue to catch the tour bus from a point outside the city, at 7:45 a.m.). However, the host was in touch with me via WhatsApp and accommodated for the 10 minute delay I faced in reaching there. I was travelling solo, made some new friends on the tour bus, with a lifetime of memories at the Leaning Tower - I had the time of my life! The return was slightly delayed, but we didn't mind at all, due to good company.
We had an absolutely fantastic day on the Pisa, wine, and Siena tour! A huge, special thank you to our guide, Alessia—she was knowledgeable, warm, engaging, and made the entire experience so memorable. From exploring Siena to the wine tasting, everything was seamless and fun. If you take this tour, you will be lucky to have Alessia leading the way. Highly recommend!
In a word, OUTSTANDING! Our guide, Alessandra (sp?) was fantastic. Her knowledge was impressive and the fact that she gave the tour in two different languages just wowed me. I wish we could have spent more time in each town, but of course I understand that it was already a long day so time limits were absolutely necessary. Suffice to say, we know when we return to Italy we'll definitely visit these towns again so we can soak up more of the flavor each one had to offer. If you're wondering how on earth you can visit these three amazing places, and enjoy some wine tasting while you're at it, then this is the tour for you! Everything is well thought-, and planned out to the minute. Their time management is nothing short of miraculous and you know exactly what to expect with each stop. If you don't like being constrained by time limits then I say rent a car and do it on your own. You'll have more time in each place but you won't get the background or know where to look for those important and so very interesting historical nuggets that make all the difference when you're wandering the streets of centuries-old towns. Thank you, Alessandra (sp?) for a fabulous day. We were exhausted at the end but happily so. You're the best and so is this tour!
Toula and Alessia from My Tour Italy were fantastic. The tour was wonderful and information provided was comprehensive. Brilliant communication and lots of fun. The coach was very comfortable and Carlos the driver did a great job.
Great way to see all three sites in one day. Plus the wine tasting and lunch was very informative and fun.
We had a very full day of experiences! So many things that we would not have seen unless we were on this tour. We went to three historic and beautiful towns, and had an amazing lunch with a wine tasting that we won't soon forget. Our guide Alessia was wonderful, caring, and offered a lot of information about each city that we visited. We felt we were in good hands with Claudio our driver. Highly recommended!
The tour was very well planned and executed. The guides were doing roll calls after every point visits that made us feel safe. Luca is very helpful to explain things in your understandable language. They gave enough time to visit each location mentioned and gave us meeting points and also shared locations for us to cover the attractions inside the towns quickly and fully worth it experience. Even the food options of vegetarian was served and allergic things were avoided.
pretty rushed good value for money pretty packed day, lots to do nice coach and guides just extremely busy and rushed loved it tho
Sofia & Alessandra are wonderful guides. They are so friendly & informative. We really enjoyed the day. I’ve been trying to decide on my favorite stop, but I can’t pick one. Everything was wonderful - especially the crew!!🥳
We had a wonderful experience on this full-day tour through Tuscany, visiting Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena. The whole day was very well organized, with a great balance between sightseeing, free time and enjoying the beautiful Tuscan scenery. A special thank you to our guides, Sofia and Alessandra, who were absolutely lovely! They were both very friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout the entire day. Their positive energy and good mood made the experience even more enjoyable, and they made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. It was a long day, but definitely worth it. We got to see some incredible places, learn interesting things about the region and enjoy a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended, especially thanks to Sofia and Alessandra! 🇮🇹
Brilliant day trip, well worth the money spent. Tour guides Sofia & Ale were amazing throughout the whole day. Took care of big group and were so kind & helpful. They definitely made the experience☺️
Amamzing. Our guide Alessandra was excellent!
Lili was perfect bubbly and informative. We visited San Gimigarno, had multiple wines… first at a small family vineyard and then a more upmarket winery. A lovely day out and away from the city
Lilly,Cristina, and Francesco were amazing. The meeting point was easy and accessible. Everything was explained very well. Whatever option selected does not disappoint. Lilly gives great information and is very lively. We enjoyed visiting Tuscany in a day.
Lily and Cristina were amazing! First class! Very professional, great communicator’s. Fun and entertaining - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Fantastic guides. They were easy going and fun to be with for a whole day. Lily and Marta were professional and guided us perfectly throughout the day.
Marta - 5 star Lilly- 5 star Michelle- 5 star
A day well spent…the ride was comfortable, time allocation for each destination was just right, and our guides Julia and Lily were really sweet and gave us lots of interesting information about the places we visited :)
Amazing tour of Tuscany!!! Got to see so many places that wouldn't have been possible on our own and did it with fantastic guides. The bus is very comfortable, Alessandre & Lily are epic!!! They are funny, friendly, helpful and made the day. The lunch was delicious & went well with the wine tasting. We did the full inclusive option with the guided tours in Siena and our local guide was amazing. This day tour is such great value for money and Alessandre & Lily are two of the best we've experienced across all our tours so far. Book this day trip you won't regret it 😊
We booked this as we wanted to do more than just stay in Florence. The trip took in Siena, a wine tasting experience and lunch in the chianti region, a trip to San Gimignano and finally over to Pisa. The tour guides and event staff were brilliant. Very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. All of the destinations were great. The wine tasting experience was brilliant. My only comment is that because so much is sandwiched into one day, it makes the time spent in each place feel like a rush. Siena was nice, but i would have sooner spent more time in San Gimignano. I think this tour would be much improved if it was one destination in the morning, the lunch and then one destination in the afternoon. Other than that this was a good value for money trip, if a little rushed.
the trip was good . Julia was great. she is a very warm and a friendly person. it's a god way to cover the 3 places although i would have liked to spend some more time at each place. But overall it was good.
The day trip with Lily and Alexandria was awesome. They were well-versed on the background on each location and kept the mood vibrant and positive. This was an awesome tour that I'm glad we booked. There were some steep hills to walk up so be prepared in comfortable shoes. The lunch was delicious and went well with the wine tastings. This tour is action packed so don't expect leisure time for shopping. Expect great pictures and gorgeous scenarios and be prompt as the guides advise you.
Amazing tour. Plenty of time to explore the locations. Beautiful scenery along the route.
Marco was excellent, knowledgeable and entertaining.
The tour was amazing, the wine tasting was a truly highlight of the day 100% recommended. Marco our guide was the best.. he is nice, funny and very knowledgeable. Thank you Marco for an amazing day living a Toscana experience.
Marco was awesome! And the trip was very enjoyable. Full day. Exhausted (good) by the end. Great wine!
Excellent service. Went to three different cities with free lunch. It was worth the price.
I booked a small group tour departing from the center of Florence. The day before I rec'd a text informing me it was a large group (50 person bus tour) leaving from the end of the tram line on the outskirts of Florence. I wanted to cancel and book with another company but with such short notice everything was sold out. The departure spot was a bus depot which seemed to be a park and ride. Commuters park here and take the tram into Florence. Doing this was both time consuming and inconvenient. In general, the bus does not drop you close to any site your visiting. The guide in San Geminiano had a private client scheduled so she rushed our large group using listening headsets that were so full of static you couldn't understand anything she was saying. That was a waste. In Pisa from the bus drop-off to the tower was a 15-20 minute walk. The guide told us, as an alternative, we could purchase tram tickets for 7 euros r/t but with cash only no credit cards. Luckily, we had cash but unfortunately some people did not. No mention of this in any of the tour descriptions. Upon return to the depot about 7:30 pm we needed to take the tram back to Florence which added another half hour to a long day.
