Wonderful experience for a day trip to this beautiful region! Thank you to our wonderful guide, Constantino, and bus driver Claudio who navigated those tricky roads, safely Would highly recommend this if you have limited time in Tuscany but want to experience some of the best views and learn about the wines of the region.
