We did a 3-hour private tour of Siena with Giorgia this summer with our two teenage children. It was just perfect! Giorgia is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Siena and beyond, and it clearly showed in the depth of her answers to the very many questions that we asked. She was flexible to adapt the tour based on what we were interested in. Although not originally from Siena, she knows and loves the city like a local and has the ability to make the tour unforgettable. 160 Euros for a fantastic private our of Sienna. Very good value for money. Probably the best private city tour that we have ever done.

I was on a cruise with my sister and our first stop was Livorno, then Florence and Pisa. We had no plan but when we were dropped off in the center of town, we saw the tour bus. A friendly Emma encouraged us to join the tour. The best decision we could have made. Emma and Francesco the driver took us to the city. Emma gave us a mini history lesson as well as some helpful advice about making our way around we saw all the memorable sights, took dozens of pictures and ate all around Florence. Emma was so knowledgeable about the area and we used her tips the rest of our vacation. We had the freedom to roam around,and shop, and take photos and we were back at our ship with time to spare! Such a great tour!
