The tour was wonderful, we loved San Gimignano with its amazing towers. We had our own free time to explore all the stops. Our guide Ricardo was excellent. He gave us lots of interesting information on the places we were visiting and made sure we all knew the time and place we were meeting. He guided us through Sienna. The wine tasting was fabulous, we tasted 4 glasses of wine , 2 Spumante. The food was great. This is an 11 hour trip but it was only a little walking. We loved it. Christina helped Ricardo with the tour. It was really good value for money and I highly recommended doing it. Bellissimo!
Thank you Sarah for such a generous and detailed review! We’re so pleased that the day gave you the freedom to explore while still feeling well guided throughout. Riccardo and Cristina will be delighted by your kind words, and it’s wonderful to know the wine tasting and lunch added so much to the experience. Warm greetings from Tuscany!
Excellent tour. Special thanks to our bus driver, Alice, and tour guides Fabi and Louisa. Cathedral in Siena worth paying extra. Beautiful scenery, tasty food and wine, shopping lover's dream. Grazie!
Grazie mille for this lovely review! We’re so pleased that Elis, Fabi, and Louisa helped make the day such a success. Siena clearly made a strong impression, and your words will be very helpful to future travelers considering the Cathedral visit. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and warm greetings from Tuscany!
Experiencing a long table for lunch with new found friends while tasting several wines & eating authentic Italian food was much more than expected. I even bought Biscotti & Pasta! Discovering Siena on foot, seeing the Cathedral & revisiting the history & learning the culture of the city is priceless!
This is exactly the kind of experience we love to hear about, sharing a long table with new friends, tasting local wines, enjoying authentic Italian food, and even taking a few delicious souvenirs home! We’re also so happy that Siena, its Cathedral, and its history left such a strong impression. Thank you for letting us be part of such a memorable day in Tuscany! See you soon, Zoe!
I had a good time. The tour was efficient, with minimal waiting time and a good balance of time allocated to each segment. Thank goodness for the air-conditioned bus ride. The driver Gabriel and guide Fabi were excellent. Fabi was knowledgeable and articulate in both English and Spanish, which made the trip enjoyable.

This is a great tour. We went to the medieval museum and a torture museum in San Gimignano, both were free. Look up each town ahead of time or while on the bus to see what you want to do. Lunch was a great time.

Excellent way to see and experience multiple Tuscany cities in one day. Winery was nice, but simple. Somewhat long day and requires uphill walking.

This was wan excellent day tour and value for money. The check-in process was seamless. The guide (fabi) and driver (Giovanni) made the experience so enjoyable. The three towns are a must see. The lunch and wine tasting was amazing and very informative.

I am writing this to warn other travelers: **Do NOT trust your vacation or your money with Caf Tour & Travel.** My family and I arrived promptly at 8:00 AM for our tour to Siena and San Gimignano, only to be left in the lurch. We were not alone; several other passengers were also left stranded at the meeting point with zero explanation. The lack of professionalism that followed was even worse than the logistical failure: * **Blatant Avoidance:** They completely ignored our urgent text messages. * **Hung Up On Me:** When I finally got through to them on the phone to resolve the situation, the representative disconnected the call on me** the moment I explained we had been left behind. It is one thing to have a scheduling error; it is quite another to show such cowardice and a total lack of accountability. They took our money, ignored our presence, and then literally hung up on us when confronted. We have been forced to scramble and navigate public transportation ourselves just to save our day This agency is unreliable, unprofessional, and clearly has no regard for the families who book with them. Save yourself the stress and book with anyone else in Florence.
Dear Suzanne, We’re very sorry to read your review, but we must clarify what actually happened. According to our records, you contacted us on WhatsApp at 8:06 AM stating that you were at the meeting point. However, both on your voucher and on all our official platforms, it is clearly specified that the meeting time is 15 minutes before departure, which in your case was 8:00 AM. This means that arrival after that time is considered late. It is also clearly stated in the booking conditions that in case of late arrival, it is not possible to provide a refund, as the tour departs on schedule out of respect for all other participants. Regarding communication, our office is fully operational from 7:00 AM, and we actively respond to landline calls, emergency numbers, and WhatsApp messages. In fact, as you mentioned, you did receive a reply shortly after your message. We always do our best to assist guests in real time, but unfortunately we cannot delay departures or make exceptions that would impact the entire group. We understand that missing a tour is frustrating, especially while traveling, but in this case all the relevant information was clearly communicated in advance and our team remained available throughout. Warm regards
Tour company was very solid. Kept things moving on time. Bus was comfortable, but not a lot of legroom for a person who is 6'1". The winery was WEAK! Food was decent, but the wine was not particularly good. Also was direct to consumer scheme, so pretty hard sell to the point we're they offered to set up a wine tasting in our home in the States (think Tupperware party). Pretty off putting. Also, facility was industrial, not your picture of a wine estate in Tuscany.
Dear Daniel, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that the tour ran smoothly, the bus was comfortable, and the overall experience of exploring San Gimignano, Siena, and Monteriggioni was enjoyable. We appreciate your comments regarding the winery visit and understand that it did not meet your expectations. Your observations are valuable and will help us in selecting experiences that better match our guests’ expectations in the future. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you back to Tuscany for more memorable moments. Warm regards from Tuscany, CAF Tour & Travel Team
Martha was the host, she was great! She always had lots of info for each place we visited. Such nice towns we visited. Love the area! Would recommend the tour.
Good Morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Brenda, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled that Marta’s warmth and wealth of information made your tour so enjoyable. It’s wonderful to hear that you loved the charming towns you visited, Tuscany truly has a way of capturing hearts with its beauty and history. We would be delighted to welcome you back soon to discover even more of the region’s treasures and unforgettable experiences. Warm regards from Tuscany, Caf Tour & Travel Team
