The tour guide was wonderful, however there was a problem at the winery and we spent alot of time just waiting around for the staff to get organised. Also, the website is not very good, it took my deposit out twice and also took out my balance which was meant to be paid on the day of the tour. I booked a few tours in Europe and this was the only website that I had a problem with.

Great tour! I had a great tour guide who was knowledgeable and funny. The wine tasting was stunning with a great view of the valley as we tasted its wines. San Gimignano is an incredible city.

One major problem for us was that the website (both yours and the mytours.com site) state that the tour is 6 hours. But it is really 7 hours. My tour had to be condensed to about 6.5 hours because otherwise my mother and I would have missed the last bus back to the small town we were staying in near Siena. It made for a tense trip. Please urge mytours.com to change the listing to say 7 hours so guests know what to expect.
