This tour is not at all what my husband and I were expecting. We had hoped to have some time to explore San Gimigano on our own but felt rushed. We walked with our guide up the Main Street in town and stopped in the first piazza. We asked to stop by the famous gelato establishment but were told “No, I don’t recommend this”. We barely had time to purchase a souvenir before leaving. There were moments when we felt the driver drove too fast and we didn’t learn anything regarding the history of the area. The language barrier was an issue for us as well. The highlight of the tour was our visit to the winery. We found the woman , Cristina representing the winery exceptional! We hope to visit again in the future! Overall, we don’t feel like this tour was worth the cost and therefore don’t recommend.
We enjoyed our private tour with Mario visiting San Gimignano and Casa Emma winery. Mario was very engaging and had a wonderful sense of humor! He was happy to answer all of our questions end it was clear how very proud he is of his country. We felt like we were touring with a friend! The winery was wonderful and it was a beautiful day. We ended up shipping back olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and wine. San Gimignano was equally beautiful even though there were many tourists. Mario gave us suggestions on what to visit. He was also a very safe driver, and when we reached Florence at the end of our tour, he was able to drop us back at our apartment. Thank you Mario for a great day!
Grazie a voi per averci scelti 🙂
Mario our guide was excellent. He shared the history of San Gimignano and stopped to allow us to take photos. It was a memorable day! I appreciate all the communications with Viator. So organized!
Thank You very much. I hope to have you back among us soon. Andrea.
We had a lovely morning traveling in private van through Tuscany county side. Andrea and Benjamin were a great team, providing historical information and great views of San Gimignano. We had a delicious lunch and wine tasting at Casa Emma’s Winery.
We loved our private tour of Tuscany while seeing small villages, wineries and San Gimigiano. Mario did a great job driving and explaining everything we saw throughout the day. The wine tasting at Casa Emma was the best experience.
