Enid and Bryan Forman –
What a pleasant drive from Florence, in what seemed like such a short time, thanks to our driver/guide who picked us up at the door of our apartment and returned us there after spending the best part of our day learning and enjoying ourselves at the same time, contented, tummies full and heads brimming with our experiences and the vistas which surpassed any expectations. My husband and I have visited San Gimignano on another Tuscan holiday BUT our guide on this day trip “made” the experience: Ben gave us the feeling of travelling with a friend who has the inside story AND connections. We came away with a sense of what it would be like to live in this charming hilltop town, now or hundreds of years ago: Ben’s stories brought the town alive. Our winery tour, complete with a delicious lunch accompanied with wine tasting, was the highlight of an already unforgettable getaway. It is no exaggeration to say this tour was the highlight of an entire month spent in Tuscany. This was our fourth month-long holiday in Tuscany and, after our first selection of tours, we have made a point of including three or four ArtViva tours or experiences in each of our Italian escapes. Unreservedly recommend ArtViva and their guides: we tell any friends we know will be visiting Italy about their five-star customer focus and have even recommended their tours to total strangers we struck up conversation with while dining out. This trip, after one such referral, we found ourselves dining for the second time in the same restaurant as a couple we’d met earlier in the week at another eatery: they were effusive in their comments about how much they enjoyed their tour, indicating that they were now trying to sign up for another ArtViva activity!
