Florence: San Gimignano, Siena, Chianti Wine Tasting & Tuscan Lunch

Fuimos un grupo muy grande, al rededor de 70 personas, y estábamos mezclados entre habla española e inglesa. Por lo cual las explicaciones eran más tardadas, ya que a pesar de llevar 2 guias (Fred y Cristina), solo Fred daba las indicaciones para todos. Y creo era necesario un altavoz, ya que por lo mismo de ser tantos, de pronto no se escuchaba bien la indicación que se daba. La comida junto con la cata de vinos fue muy buena. Al final al llegar a Siena, la guía local fue excelente. Ella es una guía nativa de uno de los barrios de Siena, por lo que su explicación fue increíble y fascinante. Y el conductor Ferdinand, muy cuidadoso para manejar.

Our guides Sam and Renata were brilliant - very friendly and knowledgeable. However, the group size was way bigger than anticipated which made the tour more clunky. It was also multi lingual so explanations too twice as long as they had to be repeated in another language. The towns we visited were fabulous, as others have said, a longer time in each would have been good, but appreciate logistics didn’t work. The main disappointment was the winery visit. We were expecting a tour of the vineyard and cellar which either didn't happen or wasn't as expected. No guided tour at the winery. The food was poor quality - the pasta did not have a good flavour. Wines average which they were pushing you to buy but were very expensive.

Just had a fantastic day out in Tuscany visiting the towns of San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and Siena with wine tasting and a superb lunch. The tour group was very large however our lead guide Ricardo and his colleagues handled things perfectly. Everything was well organised and communication was excellent throughout the day. All the towns were amazing. Lunch was delicious and wines superb. Would’ve liked a little longer, maybe 15min extra in S. Gimignano and Monteriggioni but understand there was a schedule to keep and not always possible with a large group. Still had an amazing day out!

Eu achei bem legal e vale bastante o preço. Mas acho que o tempo de almoço é muito curto (apenas 1h30min) e, pra quem não compra a visita a Catedral em Siena, fica mais de 2h na cidade fazendo nada. Poderiam aumentar o momento de almoço, que é muito mais legal e importante pq o foco do passeio deveria ser esse, ao invés de tanto tempo em Siena.
