    This tour was amazing. Luciana was the perfect guide and can adapt the tour based on your interests. In this case, we just wanted the best of everything and of both towns and were not disappointed. It was fast-paced but San Gimignano and especially Volterra have so much to offer! The local food and wines were incredible, and the amount of sights and culture concentrated in this small corner of Tuscany is unreal. Highly, highly recommending this tour and Tuscany4explore.

    My husband and I had a great time! Luciana was amazing and made sure we saw as much as possible. I had been to Volterra before, but I learned so much more the second time from her. The food and tastings were great. We will definitely recommend this company to our friends and will try some of the other tours next time we are in town.

    Luciana was amazing! She was knowledgeable, personable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience! She knew so many historical details, and she also asked for feedback throughout the day to make sure we were getting what we wanted out of the tour. Luciana was able to make changes on the fly, and the day was more than I could have hoped for. I would recommend her to anyone!
