Amazing day trip through Tuscany with an Amazing driver - From the first time I found Alessandro online when searching for an alternative to a large bus tour . Unique Tuscany Tours , was responsive and professional as he was throughout our day trip today through Tuscany .
The four of us , including two adult teenagers had a tremendous time . I was personally impressed with his knowledge and passion of Florence and Tuscany region .
For the trip . We were picked up on time , onto a Mercedes large comfortable van with spacious seating . I sat in front because I tend to get car sick so he was very obliging. Ac was terrific and the car rides very comfortable which made a big difference in our overall experience.
Our stops were fun and interesting . The organic winery along with the lunch was very delicious and I highly recommend. They made a specially prepared meal for my daughter because of her food allergies. Which we appreciated .
I strongly recommend this trip because it’s more private and personalized than a large group tour . Very comfortable ride and perfect customer service.

BOOK IT. This is a perfect experience - no notes. - I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS TOUR ENOUGH!!! Alessandro is an absolute pro, and made this experience one of the highlights of my honeymoon. Any person that ever tells me they are visiting Tuscany/Florence from here on out, I will INSIST they spend a day taking a tour through UNIQUE TUSCANY. 1. Every tour is customizable, so while Alessandro will make wonderful suggestions, he is great about making sure he can accommodate specific requests. 2. I cannot get over his vast breadth of knowledge, and how generously he shares it. We learned so much about each sight we visited, interesting facts about everything we drove past, history about Florence + Tuscany, about how different wine and olive oil producers make their products - there was nothing we asked about that he didn't have thorough answers to. 3. His passion and love for Florence and Tuscany is infectious. 4. He made wonderful recommendations for every category of activity we were interested in. 5. He makes the entire day seamless, as you are dropped off and picked up at the most convenient spots. He made it so that you never had to double back anywhere to meet back up with him - you can truly make the most of your time in each location you visit. I urge you to book through this company. You will be SO grateful you did. THANK YOU, ALESSANDRO!!!

Alessandro is an excellent tour guide to Tuscany - This is a very full day of touring, but Alessandro made the experience so easy and informative. If you need to see the most key parts of the Tuscany region in a short time, this is a perfect tour to get that experience. Siena and San Gimignano are key cities, both medieval in character. The tour gives you a nice amount of time to take a walk through both, stop at some small shops, and see some key sites.
You will also get to enjoy a delicious lunch and try some local wine at a winery (La Marronaia) just down the hill from San Gimignano (with a perfect view of the city's towers). Completely picturesque.
Alessandro provided a lot of context and helpful information to get the most out of each stop. He's very passionate about the region and is more than excited to share his knowledge with you.

A day filled with the beauty of Tuscany! - Alessandro is a man of many talents. His skill and knowledge as a tour guide is unmatched. His knowledge of history, art, cars (especially high performance cars), the grapes used in different wines and where good olives are grown to make sure the taste of the olive oil doesn’t overshadow the taste of the food makes him an exceptional guide. Sienna is beautiful and San Gimignano is like going back in time. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to experience a day of tours like no other.

Great way to get a taste of Tuscany in a Day - Allesandro was a terrific guide with excellent knowledge of the area surrounding Florence. He gave us plenty of free time and flexibility to explore Siena and San Gimignano on our own and made several stops for photo ops as we drove through the Tuscan countryside. Can't say enough good things about this experience. Highly recommend this tour.
