We had a little more than an hour free time in San Gimignano and in Pisa. This tour is alot of walking. I did over 18,000 steps. Tour guide, Sara, was very good. Super nice and easy to understand.”

“Other reviews are correct- this is not a guided tour. However, I liked how we are on our own in each city rather than having to keep up with a guide and large group. Hilary was very sweet and gave us information about each city before exiting the bus. The winery was just a tasting experience (4 wines) with lunch. I thought they gave us a lot of food: bruschetta, meats, cheese, a full portion of pasta with ragu, and biscotti. Personally I was full after it. The employees there were very energetic and fun. Be prepared for a lot of walking. Uneven streets and hills. This tour is not…”

Plenty of other places to find and there was enough time at this village for a leisurely lunch at a place of your choosing. Our guide kept everything moving and organized. Our bus driver masterfully navigated the windy road! Thank you Sara and Zamny! Then Sara provided a wonderful recommendation for dinner when we returned to Florence.”
