Best part of Tuscany wasn’t the places it was the people
We booked this tour because we wanted to use Florence as a base to explore Tuscany, but what we didn’t expect was that the people leading the tour would become the highlight of the entire experience.
Our family of five spent the day visiting Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa with Alessandro as our guide and Gaspare as our driver. They were an outstanding team.
From the moment we arrived, Alessandro impressed us with his professionalism, organization, and genuine care for every person on the bus. Safety was always a priority, but what made him exceptional was how much he shared about what it truly means to be Italian. Instead of simply reciting facts, he brought Italy to life through personal stories, history, culture, traditions, and even the origins of common stereotypes—explaining which ones hold some truth and which don’t. By the end of the day, we felt like we understood Italy in a way we never could have by simply visiting these beautiful places on our own.
What stood out most was how personal he made the experience. Large bus tours can sometimes make you feel like you’re just being moved from stop to stop, but Alessandro made sure every guest felt seen, welcomed, and engaged. Whether he was speaking to the whole group or having individual conversations, you could tell he genuinely cared that everyone had an unforgettable day.
A special thank you to Gaspare, whose calm professionalism and expert driving made us feel completely safe and comfortable on the winding Tuscan roads. You could tell the teamwork between him and Alessandro came from years of experience, and it made the entire day run seamlessly.
We’ve taken many tours around the world, and this was one of the very best—not just because of the incredible destinations, but because of the people leading it. Thank you, Alessandro and Gaspare, for giving our family memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

⭐ Fantastic Tuscany Day Trip – Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa & Wine Country
This day trip from Florence ended up being one of the highlights of our entire Italy vacation. Despite being a full-day excursion, it never felt rushed or exhausting. The itinerary was well organized, the transportation was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Our guide, Manolo, was outstanding—friendly, engaging, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He kept the group entertained throughout the day while sharing interesting history and local insights. The driver did an excellent job navigating the winding Tuscan roads, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the scenery.
The winery stop was wonderful. The food was delicious, the wine tasting was excellent, and we enjoyed it so much that we purchased two bottles of wine, a bottle of olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to bring home.
San Gimignano- we wandered off the main streets, explored some quieter areas, and captured some of the most beautiful countryside photos of our trip. We also visited the illusion museum, which was a fun and unexpected addition to the day.
Siena was stunning, Pisa was exactly what you hope it will be, and the drive through the Tuscan countryside was breathtaking. Every stop offered something unique, and there was enough free time to explore without feeling rushed.
If you’re staying in Florence and want to see several iconic Tuscan destinations in one day, this tour is an excellent value and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended! 🇮🇹🍷🍇📸✨

A Tuscany Excursion To Remember!
Walkabout Tours is the best! I had a custom tour for my high school group which included teachers and students. What a wonderful experience! We started in the beautiful town of San Gimignano, stopped for a superb lunch at a nearby winery and then continued on to Siena. The group had an amazing time!
Our guide for the day was Manolo and he was top notch! He was full of historical facts. He was fun, very considerate, had a good sense of humor and he was very professional. Everyone enjoyed his presentation. Everything ran perfectly on schedule and Manolo managed the tour schedule well. He was very conscientious of every detail and he went well above and beyond our expectations! The entire day was a wonderful experience--one our group will never forget!

Romantic Tuscany day trip for two!
Our guides Alex and Eliana were outstanding! The whole day was a wonderfully romantic and informative experience. The perfect balance of history, guided tour, and on our own time. The winery was gorgeous, the tasting more than generous, and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the Tuscany countryside, learn some history, and have lunch at an amazing winery with some of the best wine made!

Best guide (Stefano) and the most incredible tour
I found Walkabout tours after doing extensive research to find the best private tour in Tuscany. They were hands down the most recommended. And it’s safe to say, they did not disappoint. Stefano was our guide and he was incredible. In all the tours and tour companies we’ve booked in Italy (all private and reputable), this was the hands down the best and most top tier. Stefano was early to pick us up at our hotel in Florence to start our day at 830am. From morning to night, he was the most energetic, knowledgeable and fun guide we could’ve asked for. We went to San Gimingnano, Siena and a vineyard for lunch. We also asked him to drop us off at the very end at a famous leather shop in Florence (in lieu of our hotel) and he made every effort to make it prior to the close. Stefano went above and beyond to make sure Tuscany was the absolute highlight of our Italy trip. Thank you Stefano, and I hope to meet you again!

Highly Recommend this tour to everyone
Highly recommend this tour as well as our tour guide, Stefano! The day was amazing from start to finish. Stefano made the day even better with all of his knowledge of the region and amazing stories about the history of the area.
The stroll around San Gimignano and Siena was so beautiful and fun. The lunch and wine tasting at the organic locally owned winery was amazing. The food, wine and view were 5 stars!
This tour is worth every dollar plus more! Definitely book it and if you can, I recommend asking for our tour guide, Stefano!

An excellent Day out
The guide meets you at the main railway station , close to the taxi rank, and McDonalds is on the opposite side of the rad, and a small kiosk selling refreshments etc, very close to meeting point. From the meeting point there is a 10 min walk to where the coach is parked. The day started at 0800 hrs, and finished at 2100hrs.
The sites visited were very interesting, lunch was excellent at the winery, with excellent toilet facilities, and a shop that sells their wines. etc. The high light was the "Church/Cathedral) at Sienna is stunning and beautiful..
We were so pleased we booked the tour as we saw so much more and understood so much more than trying to do it alone.
Stefano the guide was excellent, so knowledgeable, helpful and patient and funny.
Thank you
