Great way to fill in an afternoon in Siena
Our tour guide was caught in traffic from Florence, but we were kept informed.
It wasn't a small group, we had about 25. The tour was fantastic with plenty of time at each stop. It went overtime, which was excellent value for money. Our guide was a little shy with limited English, and could have given more info en route. Overall... woukd recommend.

This was a good tour,...
This was a good tour, however, small group to me means 10 people or less. This was definitely closer to 30 plus people, and felt a bit like herding cats. The vineyards were nice, and well prepared for us. The two towns we visited were lovely. Overall, was an ok trip. I would have liked to see more of the actual vineyards rather than just the tasting rooms.
