Italy

I had a wonderful day on this tour. Our guide Constantinople was very good. He was knowledgeable and I appreciated the way he described everything. The bus we were on was clean and comfortable. The spots that they took us to for the wine tasting were very interesting. Italy is beautiful. Val D’Orcia is worth the trip. If you have difficulty walking or doing steps this is not for you

I booked our tour via online with happytovisit and got a confirmation right away. However, when it was time for me to cancel one person’s reservation, I didn’t not get a response-it took two emails and a call to CiaoFlorence (tour operator) to reconfirm the cancellation so they can refund me. Check in at the meeting point was chaotic! They have reps from different tour companies but no signage as to which is which. This can be organized by a simple sign made and carried by the reps themselves. Gulio, our tour guide, is the best! He did an excellent job of describing the places we visited. He is passionate about his job; he went far and beyond just a tour guide. Very helpful if additional info is asked. Overall, the tour was excellent with Gulio as the tour guide! *Note: Two wine tastings should be pared down to one. A bit too much; it makes the day too long!

Great tour. Both us and our parents enjoy the tour alot. It was conclusive as we were able to see a lot of different villages and the two wine tasting were very well prepared. Tour guide are nice and friendly too. We will certainly use this service again

This was an excellent tour, a very enjoyable day spent visiting three lovely places in the Tuscan valley. The only reason I don't rate it as Five star is that we were coneveyed (in writing and with a Google Map) an incorrect pick up point in Siena as well as timing. I had to make a phone call to the local operator My Tour to get the correct point and timings. The situiation could have been much worse if I didn't have a functional cell phone while waiting for the bus to arrive at the (incorrectly) designated pick up point. Other than this, it was a fantastic experience, the small group from Siena (there were five of us and the others had the correct pick up point as they booked directly with My Tours) was ferried in a mini van to join the main group. An excellent bus took us to the attractions and the points covered were exactly as provided in the description. The guide was warm, knowledgable and patient (at Montalcino one of our group members went well beyond the specified timings and the guide did a small search to locate him). We had adequate time at all the three stops. The driver was safe. The second wine tasting in the evening was the highlight of the day with the entire group having a great time together. Will highly recommend.
