Yesterday May 30th, 2025 we did the semi-private (which ended up being private) tour to Tuscany from Rome, visiting both the towns of Siena and San Gimignano. We had the most fabulous tour guide- Irene Maniscalco. She was very knowledgable of these most beautiful towns- our whole experience was PERFECTO!!! We had great conversation and learned much about these ancient and Medieval towns and also our names, which are the same, such a neat coincidence. We highly recommend this tour and Irene! We booked this specific tour less than 12 hours out, as we had one free day left in Rome, and we wanted to see Tuscany, specifically these towns, and they were most accommodating! While our visits to these town were most memorable we thoroughly enjoyed the winery and wine tasting at: Tenuta Torciano a true hidden gem off the beaten path that was perfection of what I imagined Tuscany to be! The wine and food were amazing and we ended up shipping some wine home! Loved that they picked us up and dropped us off in front of our hotel. Great experience and value for the price, couldn’t have done any better. Thank you Irene and Mamma Mia Tour Operator via Trip Advisor for this most memorable experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy that the semi-private tour in Tuscany exceeded your expectations and that Irene made the visit to Siena and San Gimignano a perfect experience! We are so happy to hear that Tenuta Torciano gave you an authentic moment of Tuscany, with excellent wine and food. We are happy that the pick-up and drop-off service made the tour convenient and that you appreciated our flexibility, even with a last minute booking. A warm hug and we hope to see you again soon for another wonderful adventure among the beauties of Italy! Martina per Mamma Mia Italia
