A long day but worth it. We opted to see everything and boy you really need to keep up. The two city's visited were a great surprise not crowded and a throw back to earlier days. Lunch was great and what a view. You must be mobile as Luciana walks and talks very fast. She is a local of Tuscany and wealth of knowledge. Well worth the trip. Enjoy.

We had a really fun day. Luciana packed the day full and was very informative about the history, wine in the region , and she ordered us a wonderful lunch with local food specialities. It is a long day with much to see in the beautiful hill top towns, and there is not much free time to wander about discovering on your own. The gelati in San Gimignano is truly delicious!

We had a lovely day. We spent the morning in Volterra- seeing churches, museums and craft shops. We had a delicious lunch with wine at a restaurant with a view in Volterra. Then we had wine tasting at a family run winery in tuscany, with beautiful views from the tasting area. The stop in San gimagnano was short- we had ice cream and then some time to sightsee. I would definitely recommend this tour. The roads are very windy, so if you get car sick, definitely take some meds with.
