This trip was very worthwhile and memorable. Our driver, Alan, suggested we go to Siena and Tuscany, have a wine tasting at a vineyard and skip Florence. We did that abs I think it was the right choice, a beautiful day in medieval town then a lunch and wine tasting. Was lovely. Alan was on time, a very safe driver, a bit funny, knowledgeable and gave us some great history. he did talk alot and I would have liked some silent time in the car to enjoy the experience and scenery. Overall I would absolutely recommend this tour. Didn’t get to Florence, but had a great day.

Yuri our driver was the best. He took us to amazing places and helped us find the best kosher winery in Tuscany called Terra di Seta. He went out of his way and out of his time and wait xtra 3-4 hours to make sure we enjoy our trip.

This was an excellent day trip we did while staying in Rome. Alan our driver & guide picked us up at 9am, giving us enough time to sleep in. He drove us up to Tuscany through the scenic country side. He got us a wine tasting appointment at an alternative Winery when we expressed that we want to do lunch in Florence rather than the castle winery. This winery was tucked away in the hills with breadth taking views. We enjoyed the tour & tasting. Then we reached Florence and had enough time to explore the various piazzas, streets, and spend time shopping & dining. The last stop was the highlight - mesmerizing view of the entire city of Florence from the top. Wonderful picture opportunity. The drive was quite long, but Alan did a great job making us comfortable & even dropped us at a restaurant at our request. A memorable trip overall.
