Honestly I don't even know where to start. This was the best tour in the several done across Italia over a few weeks. I will start with Alaa our driver. Super friendly, super helpful, and an amazing driver. He drives efficiently and safely. He told us that we were crazy for trying to see so much in one day, but thanks to his driving we got everywhere safely and efficiently and NEVER felt rushed anywhere. Ok on to the tours. The stop in Pisa was great. Having a tour guide was really helpful for history, context, and of course skipping the line. Many people looked lost after their online audio tours ran out of content. The large groups looked uncomfortable because there are so many people all around. It was great to get the history and ask all questions without being rushed. The vineyard tour: may have been the highlight in Tuscany. The wine tasting was outstanding. The lunch that accompanied the wine tasting was one of the best meals we had the entire time. And no that wasn't just the wine talking. Alaa said our trip was really designed for two days versus one, so the one thing I would've spent more time doing was touring the vineyard. But we had other stops. Our stop in Sienna was much more entertaining than I thought it would be. The neighborhoods in the province we visited were having a celebration, which added to the experience. The tour guide that met us in Sienna was very knowledgeable and helpful. I will stop here - this is a must do tour.
"We feel honored to have guests like you!! Thank you for the time you've dedicated to us, and thank you for this splendid review from beginning to end. It's a significant reward for us to know that we managed to provide you with such a delightful experience and take care of you. We really hope to have you back with us again, we do have many more tours in different Tuscany areas which are well worth it! Again, thank you!! Our best regards ACCORD Team
The tour was just okay. The worst part was the ride. My suggestion is, since this is a whole day tour, company should have provided a newer, more comfortable van. The ride was rough, you could feel all the irregularities of the road. It was hard for the back. Nonetheless, the driver was really nice and she even called for a taxi at the end of the trip.
Dear Richard, thank you for leaving a review, every critique helps us improve our services and grow as a company. We will take your critique into account, however, our tours are more about the food and wine experiences, and the amazing scenary that Tuscany offers. Transportation is a complementary service, and surely an important one, but we tend to focus our energies more on the other components of the tour. That being said, all our vehicles are well taken care of, and very clean. We are glad that you still liked our driver and the experience as a whole. Thank you again for writing a review, we hope to see you back in Florence soon. Best regards, ACCORD Team
Lots of walking but worth it. Wish we had more time but understand that this tour was trying to squeeze all the activities. The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful through the whole experience!
Dear Leo, thank you so much for your review! We are glad to read that you enjoyed our tour, and that you appreciated our tour guide. We hope that you will come back to visit our city and that you will want to use our services again! Kind regards, ACCORD Team
The van was clean & comfortable & the driver was nice. But there was no commentary during the various drives to the cities and no real expectation setting for what was next. The guides in both Siena and Pisa were lovely and the tour is nice, but I think a more engaged driver/guide while traveling across Tuscany would have added a great deal. In short, I don’t think we gained much by doing a private tour versus a standard Tuscany tour that includes the same 3 towns.
Dear Rupali, thank you for your four stars review. Every review and critique helps us improve and grow as a tour agency. We are glad that you enjoyed our tour and the cities of Pisa and Siena. We hope that if you come back to our beautiful city you will want to use our services again. Kind regards, Eugenia Rosini
Chiara was our tour guide and she was fabulous! She was very knowledgeable and informative — she gave us more information than our brains could hold! Our tour was an all day tour that included a trip to Siena, San Gimignano - which included a stop at a beautiful winery called Tenuta Torciano for lunch and wine-tasting, and finally, Pisa. Chiara knew the answer to every question we asked her throughout the day, and she went above and beyond her duties as a tour guide to make sure we had the best experience possible. Thank you Chiara and Viatour for helping make our trip to Italy a dream vacation! Moretti Family California, USA
Hi there! Thank you very much for your review, we appreciate to have our customers feedback and especially we are happy to know that you had a lovely experience with us. Our guide will be thrilled to know your comment! Hopefully you will have another occasion to come to visit our magnificent region and book another experience with us!
We did the private tour with our wonderful driver/guide Marco on August 3rd. Since it was just two of us, we were able to opt out of Pisa and spend more time in Siena and San Gimignano, which was perfect. We had enough time to stroll the beautiful cities and see the amazing Basilica in Siena. The tour included a winery tour, wine tasting, and tasty homemade lunch. We couldn't have asked for a better way to visit the Tuscany/Chianti region with our excellent guide! Everything was perfect!
Thank you for leaving us such an amazing review. Our priority is the satisfaction of our clients and we are pleased to hear that you had a lovely time with us. We will pass your comment to Marco as well and he surely will be happy too. We hope you will have another occasion shortly to come to visit us again!
