Overall this was a good experience! The tuscany region is incredibly beautiful & having someone drive you to each location in an AC van is hard to beat. The first wine tasting at Poggio ai Laghi was very good and our host was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The final tasting was a bit of a let down as the daughter of the host is usually there to translate in English, so our van driver had to end up translating the whole tasting. The time at the cities was about perfect to walk around and sit & have a coffee. It would have been nice to get a bit more of the history of the area as we approached each new place. We also were never given an outline of the day from the driver, we had to keep asking how long til the next stop and so on. Again overall it was a great experience and we had a blast with our group in the van!

Excursion to do. Too bad we didn't have more time in San Gimignano: in the two hours available my 10-year-old son and I were able to climb the Torre Grossa and visit the Duomo (to do this we had to purchase the cumulative ticket, which included more, but not materially 'it was time ...). We must consider that there are many tourists, so queues and waiting ... we had to give up the world champion ice cream ... In Montalcino there is little to see, if not the magnificent landscape. Our guide / driver Fabio is very generous and nice

We had a wonderful day seeing two gorgeous towns and two delicious winery stops! Our driver, Daniel, was knowledgeable about the landscape, towns, and wines. He even took us to an extra three scenic stops near the towns for photos! The vineyards we stopped at were wonderful small, family-run businesses that showed us how they make their wines, told us about the methods to grow the specific kind of Tuscan wines they produce. We had two delicious meals with several wine samples from each one too! We bought wines from each vineyard and had it shipped home. Be sure to ask for Daniel if you want to get some extra stops to make the trip extra special!
