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.”

Clive was incredibly patient with us, as we were complete beginners in cooking. He made the class engaging and enjoyable, especially for our 16 and 18-year-olds. We ended up making some fantastic food that we thoroughly enjoyed afterward. I highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Florence.”

“This was a fabulous evening tour. We learned so much about the food, we’re taken to small and authentic places. I would suggest doing this early in your stay as you would go back to some of the restaurants for a meal. The little bits of food were more than satisfactory so don’t eat a big meal before you go.”
