Fantastic 5.0
Trip is excellent and convenient. We went to Siena, San Gimignano, Vineyard and Pisa. Thoses towns are so beautiful. Vineyard came with lunch and wine tasting. Totally recommended! Pisa is nice but we didn’t have much time to explore much. Be prepare that they don’t have much toilets. We had to go to cafe and purchased drinks. Public toilets are not available much.

The line to enter the church was very long, and the Italian tour guide had a very strong accent. If you're a native Mandarin speaker, you'll need to pay close attention to understand the explanations 😇. However, being able to skip the long line in the Italian heat and enter directly is worth the price of admission! I highly recommend this tour.

This tour is perfect for those staying in Florence who want to visit the surrounding towns. The itinerary for the day is as follows: 7:20 AM Meet at the Florence SMN train station – Pisa (1 hour) – Winery near San Gimignano (Lunch + 3 wine tastings) – San Gimignano (1 hour) – Siena (1 hour) – 7:30 PM Return to SMN train station. The whole trip is quite compact, with only about 1 hour in each location. If you want to explore properly, the time is not really enough. However, its strength is its convenience, as you travel by bus and it's not tiring, so it's still very suitable. The tour guide, Barbara, is very friendly and responsible. I recommend this tour! (The entire tour is explained in English).

The Tuscany day trip was amazing! The itinerary was well planned, covering Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa all in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, the views were beautiful, and the lunch was authentic and delicious. Highly recommended!

This Cinque Terre trip was very worthwhile! I visited the four villages of Riomaggiore ➡️ Manarola ➡️ Monterosso ➡️ Vernazza. The scenery was beautiful, and the colorful houses with the sea view were so healing. The itinerary was well-arranged and not too rushed (I personally think it would be better to spend an extra half hour in Manarola), and there was enough time for taking photos and walking around. The tour guide was very friendly, and the transportation was arranged smoothly, saving a lot of trouble by not having to transfer myself. If this is your first time visiting Cinque Terre, I highly recommend this trip. I suggest wearing comfortable shoes and leaving early. Overall, it was a great experience!

Went to 4 villages - Riomaggiore-Manarola-Vernazza- Monterosso , no boat ride due to sea condition. Benefit of the tour guide is that we are told a specific time to gather at the train station to hop to the next village.

Our tour guide Hilary was very professional, and the itinerary flowed smoothly. Although we only had time to visit 3 fishing villages due to time constraints, there was plenty of time to spend at each village. The only downside was that lunch was not at the advertised seaside restaurant, and we couldn't even see the sea. Also, the third picture in the advertisement was not of a fishing village that was part of the itinerary, which is potentially misleading advertising.

Great 4.0
The operator provided super clear instructions on how to get to the location. However, there were many excursions happening at once, and they were only shouting out the color of your tag to direct you to your bus, which could be difficult for older individuals. The bus itself was great, but the air conditioning was blasting the entire time. We asked several times for it to be turned down a bit, but nothing was done. The itinerary felt a little rushed, as we didn't have much time to explore. The guide was clear when speaking in Spanish, but the entire wine explanation was in English. There was no cheese tasting, just individual pieces. I would still recommend it as a way to see the sights without getting too tired.
