Visit the "Manatthan of Tuscany"
Siena is a beautiful city in Tuscany, known for its preserved medieval architecture, narrow streets, and rich cultural traditions. Its heart is the Piazza del Campo, a shell-shaped square famous for the Palio, a centuries-old horse race held twice each summer. Siena is also renowned for its striking Gothic cathedral, and warm colors that define the city’s distinctive charm.

Excellent experience. Wonderful driver and friendly, knowledgeable guide. Marta was very helpful and provided interesting commentary.
We went on a wonderful trip to the two walled cities. We actually did Volterra and San Gimignano with a stop at the winery. The scenery and towns were amazing. Massimo was a wonderful guide who provided just the right amount of information about the region. I'm looking forward to another trip to Tuscany. Massimo also took us by "The Theater of Silence" once he learned that we were fans of Andrea Bocelli. He also tailored our day to fit a quick stop in Pisa before returning to the ship.
Thank you Tanya for a great day . Exceeded our expectations! Loved St Gimignano especially and thanks for the safe driving and your friendly attitude. Keep up the good work Ann and Philip
The whole trip was unbelievable Mr. Stefano was incredible with all the history knowledge and the professionalism that he showed towards our group will do it again hands-down
Enjoyed the company of the others in the group. Emilia our driver and guide was a very happy and enthusiastic person. She was very informative and helpful. Comfortable minibus and much preferred a small group trip.
Our guide was wonderful, and both cities were beautiful. I love this company- they are very professional, timely, great drivers, polite, knowledgeable. The wine tasting was very nice and the vineyard was stunning. Super small group made it very fun. My only suggestion and concern is that it really is a but too much for 1 day. It would have been better to just do San Gimignano and Sienna and spend more time in each place. There was not enough time to go into the lovely places in either city- it is really just to get a taste of what each looks like. I know other reviewers have made the same comments and I hope the company considers adding a longer day with eg Duomo entry in Sienna and entry to the lovely church in SG with unique frescoes that we were unable to see.
The knowledge of the guides about Tuscany and the places we visited was great! A very pleasant tour overall and we loved the enthousiasm of our guide!
We had an amazing day with more than we expected. Roman our driver and guide was amazing and went above and beyond our expectations. Would recommend this tour the views and villages in Tuscany are stunning. The wine tour was very interesting and the food was great. Having visited Seina before we opted out of the city tour and decided to sit in a cafe/bar and watch the world go by. Would definitely recommend this day trip in my opinion it was worth every penny
This trip is for individuals who do not have a car as the driver offer little if any useful or interesting info on the two cities we visited. Time was also limited at both cities so we couldn't purchase tickets and see the historical site. I recommend you visit both cities on your own with a map you can get at the city info center. Then sign up for a wine tasting event; You will get a lot more out of it and a fraction of the cost. Viator packed the van so the driving experience was not pleasant. One of the passenger got car sick.
Stay at each city was too short and no guidance other than getting dropped off with a map. The drive was non eventful and too many people in the van. Wine tasting was the best part.
We booked this as an excursion from the port of Livorno. There were only 4 in our group and so it was a nice intimate tour. Our guide Lucca was wonderful! We had a quick introduction to each city along with a few hours of free time as well. It ended with a visit to a winery which included a fantastic view of San Gimignano as well as fun wine tasting.
Emelia was so kind, funny, and knowledgeable on all things Tuscany wines and Pisa. With 5 of us the tour by minivan kept our tour private and small.
Great way to get around and get it done! The hosts were great, the bus was very clean and Italy ya'll!! WOW, just such a beautiful tour. It is a speed trio through these little towns but I choose this over not getting to see them at all.
<p>This was an excellent day trip, exactly as described. The driver was excellent - personable, helpful, and informative without being over-informative. The local guide in Siena also did a first rate job. I recommend this tour.</p>
<p>Travelled in a group of six including a friend. Very little pre trip information - no itinerary nor timings except for pick up which had to be confirmed. Had to ask the guide for timings. Although our guide walked us through part of Siena and San Gimignano, she was not particularly forthcoming about the History of either place. I felt she could have given us more information whilst we were travelling between places. The wine tasting was disappointing. The wines were not very good quality and the promised 2 glasses were a couple of mouthfuls of 4 different wines. We paid 91 each and I really did not feel that what we received was good value.<br/> I loved Siena and San Gimignano and it would have been difficult to visit both places using public transport, but I learned more about them from my own guidebook.</p>
<p>Aviator Bellaitaliatours was a last minute decision and we were pleasantly surprised. They are professional, efficient, knowledgeable and their guides wonderful. San-Gimignano in the morning. Siena in the afternoon. Both old towns on hill within medieval walls and picturesque. Then wine tour in renovated farm house where the wine and olive oils are produced from their own land organically. Memorable day. Spectacular scenery. Thank you Luca our guide for a wonderful experience.</p>
<p>Fantastic trip and it is from the best tours I did in my life. I traveled so much abroad in tours and until now I didn't find tour guide better than Lucca, he explained everything to us and he was nice,very friendly and he made our trip so perfect. we want to the beautiful San Gimignano and Sienna and it was such a good places to visit. Wine tasting was awesome too with bread and above it the verging olive oil and sheep cheese.<br/> Everything was on time, so it is very good trip and I recommend it to everyone.</p>
<p>Almost a perfect trip. The driver arrived right on time, and chatted with us for the whole journey, explaining the route, the history of the region, and background on Tuscany. His knowledge was unbelievable. The stops were just the right length and the wine tasting at the local farm was excellent. I was initially hesitant about taking a trip like this, but it was well worth setting aside a day for it. Next time there will be other trips too!</p>
<p>Excellent although we would have liked more time in San Gimignano. Luca the guide was superb.</p>
<p>We really enjoyed this tour and would recommend the tour to our family and friends. We were picked up on time and enjoyed the history and details shared by our knowledgeable guide during the drive and in San Gimignano. We liked there was a lot of flexibility to the tour including time to explore on our own. Although there was a lot of driving, we enjoyed the Tuscan sights, absolutely fantastic!</p>
<p>A fabulous trip and our driver Michele Michael was excellent, very helpful and informative. Both places are different but well worth a visit and the location where we had the wine tasting was stunning!</p>
<p>Excellent trip to take. Every aspect was so well organised and timed to perfection. The guides were fantastic and made a great trip a fantastic event. Well worth doing and don't forget to try the gelato !!</p>
<p>Our driver Michele was lovely and well-informed and provided maps to make sure we didnt get lost. The tour provided a good amount of time at the locations to see the cities, buy souvenirs and have a bite to eat. Our guide in Siena, Ciara, was bubble and funny and explained the history of the city and there culture beautifully. Wine tasting was lovely and again well-informed and such fun. Highly recommend this tour - the countryside is stunning, the towns are stunning and the people were all so helpful and friendly. A truly enjoyable experience.</p>
<p>Fabulous day trip , both guides were informative and helpful. Day was well organised and very enjoyable ,would thoroughly recommend it .</p>
Beautiful places to know both Lucca (historic center streets museum of Puccini etc.) and pisa torre.batisterio de saint giovani ) to return
<p>Mycket trevlig dagsresa. Vi fick se många fina platser och hade en trevlig och kunnig chaufför och guide.<br/> Pricken över i-et var den härliga vinprovningen på en vacker plats ute bland olivlundar och druvodlingar</p>
