We had hoped for so much more! We took guides tour but the last part was very poor. The guides ( Federico and Fabiana) should take a tour with Chris and Aldo (Walk the Tour) to understand the concept of guided tour (We took with them Cinque Terra tour). And about the Chianti part I’m also not sure. Didn’t see that part much :( I would not recommend!

I recently embarked on a full-day tour of Pisa, San Gimignano, and Siena, and it was an absolute delight! Here’s why: Expert Tour Guide: Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the region. They shared fascinating historical anecdotes, local legends, and insider tips throughout the journey. Their enthusiasm made the experience truly memorable. Charming San Gimignano: San Gimignano, with its medieval towers and picturesque streets, stole my heart. We had ample free time to explore the town, and I felt like I’d stepped back in time. The views from the hilltop were breathtaking. Siena’s Timeless Beauty: Siena, another gem, welcomed us with its stunning Gothic architecture. The Piazza del Campo, where the famous Palio horse race takes place, was a highlight. Our guide explained the traditions and rivalry between the contrade (neighborhoods), adding depth to our visit. Pisa’s Leaning Tower: Of course, we couldn’t miss the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa! The quirky architecture and the surrounding Campo dei Miracoli were awe-inspiring. Our guide shared intriguing facts about its construction and restoration. Mediocre Lunch: Now, let’s talk about lunch. While the meal was decent, it didn’t quite match the overall excellence of the tour. Perhaps there’s room for improvement in this aspect. In summary, this tour is a must-do for anyone exploring Tuscany. The blend of history, culture, and natural beauty left me enchanted. Kudos to our guide for making it an unforgettable experience! 🌿🇮🇹

The trip was lovely and fun. Not rushed. I enjoyed the tour in Pisa as we reached there before it got crowded. Sandro and Fabiana ensured that we were all gathered safely at all times and provided us with necessary information.

Value for money! This was the second time I did the tour and I was as satisfied as the first time. The tour guide Federico was great and very patient and explained everything in great detail. We had a great time and were able to experience the beauty of Tuscany all in one day. The only thing we hoped was to have a little bit more time in San gimignano as we missed the torture museum ! Even the bus driver Ferdinand and the other guide Fabiana were great. 10/10 recommend

The trip was great. Fabiana and Roicardo were very professional and helpful. Daniele was the best coach driver too. The tour group consisted of 88 persons which is a huge group. When we booked through the Headout website we thought we had booked for a full guided tour without lunch and wine tasting. However, on the coach we were informed that we had to pay 20 euros extra if you wanted a guided tour of Siena and its Cathedral. The website also mentions that the tour is in English. However, the tour is bilingual in both Spanish and English. The tour is over 12 hours
