Review of a Tuscany day trip from Florence to Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, and a Chianti winery lunch with wine tasting.

“Great day trip, would definitely recommend. So much was crammed into the day. Requires a little bit of walking, nothing too strenuous. Great value for money. Annalise the tour guide in Siena was brilliant. Our walkabout tour guide “Ginni” was extremely friendly and informative. Coach driver “Emi” was also great. Great itenary to ensure so much is included but never felt rushed.”
