San Gimignano and Winery Experience with Light Lunch from Pisa

Towns were lovely but there was zero engagement from the driver. No commentary or direction just dropped us off and told us where and what time to meet. Not enough time in San Gimignano and the winery tour promised at the start of the wine tasting never happened though I asked several times about it. Finally after a long day dropping off in Lucca before taking us back to Pisa took far longer than I would reasonably expect. They really need to run separate tours from both places.

We chose not to do the wine tasting but we saw San Gimignano with the world champion gelato shop and Sienna. These hilltop towns are fascinating and we would have liked more time to explore. We chose not to do the wine tasting, so our guide took us to the Theater of Silence which is the arena where Andrea Bocelli gives concerts each summer. The scenery was wonderful but the Tuscan Sun never made an appearance, we had drizzler most of the day.Our guide, Max, was very informative and good at driving the back roads through Tuscanny. All in all, it was a very enjoyable day.

<p>Excellent trip, adequate time in each location. Very helpful and informative guide. Highlight was the winery in the evening, spectacular views and scenery and nice wine as well. Will do again when back in Pisa.</p>

<p>The two cities were fascinating. Our driver Emmy was terrific. Be aware that both cities are up hill. I have a problem walking. Both guides were very accommodating at where I was dropped off. Just take it slow and go into all the shops. We had beautiful weather.</p>

<p>Our guide,Michael, was prompt,courteous and informative. It was a long day covering everything promised. High on the recommendation list.</p>

<p>guide Emilia was just wonderful. Also very well informed local guide when in siena.</p>

<p>Our guide was fantastic, please thank Alexandria. Very nice places and well worth the experience with a small tour.</p>

<p>A must do! A comfortable air conditioned van collected us from our Pisa accommodation. With an excellent lady driver and a lovely lady guide a total of 6 passengers relished the luxury of being escorted through Tuscan landscapes to these fabulous towns. We had adequate time to explore and we're thrilled to have seen these places. A stop for wine tasting and cheese/ olives was a nice finale, with plenty of good photo stops en route. Bravo!</p>

<p>Superb trip through Bellaitalia in a minivan. We travelled this way before with the same company,a very enjoyable and personal experience. The guide lucca sorry if the spelling is incorrect was excellent and very helpful and friendly. Good value for money.</p>
