Jonathan was a wonderful guide and incredibly knowledgeable about anything we threw his way. It was our first tour with Viator and the reason we scheduled two more while in Italy. The tour was so much fun. The cathedral in Siena was only second to St. Peters Basilica in the Vatican. Unfortunately, the hills were two much for us to maneuver to explore the city and therefore we spent more time there as free time than we liked. The last stop, San Gimignano was our favorite and we could have spent more time there. Would definitely recommend this tour and Viator.

Raphael was a funny, excellent tour guide. He noticed that he had many photographers on his tour and was always providing insight on great places to take pictures from. What a wonderful surprise to also visit Monteriggioni. Highly recommend this tour and hope you get Raphael too.

Enjoyed the sites but I did not enjoy the ride in the van. Van is too small for 8 passengers and the drive is fairly long.

Good tour however it was raining on the day and very difficult to see much of what was on offer.

A most enjoyable day which was made all the better by Luca who was an outstanding guide. Would recommend this trip to anybody.

A most enjoyable tour, with beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside, especially from San Gimignano, which in itself was a stunning place to visit. Would have preferred to find our own lunch venue in Siena, but the food at the restaurant we were taken to was good and reasonably priced. Would recommend this tour to friends.

It was cancelled because there were only two of us. We agreed to provide a car and "guide"/driver for an additional 200 euros, which made it a very expensive but very enjoyable day. Ewen the "guide"/driver was very good.

Luca was a wonderful guide and driver! He made reservations in a very nice, reasonably priced restaurant for us for lunch, and we all enjoyed our meals. His grasp of history and the information on the "sights" was wonderful. We enjoyed being in a small group and we met lovely people. We would recommend this tour!
