We LOVED our walking tour in Tuscany! It was nice to do something different than walking through museums. My husband loved it – it was probably one of our favorite things on the trip.

Well I have to say and I’m sure my 2 sisters will agree, It was the best tour we have ever had, our guide was informative, interesting and had such a beautiful way of describing the scenery, and how thing were in Tuscany then and now, that you just wanted to hear more, we could have walked all day not even noticing the time, soaking up magnificent scenery, and interesting facts, we laughed a lot, and the lunch was beautiful. Our guide was delightful and able to connect with all age groups on our tour. we will be back one day to enjoy another Walking tour.

Our tour guide was great. He was very knowledgeable about basically everything. From history, culture, politics, to wine and oil processing. The hike was beautiful and Davide was very kind and personable. We have a baby and Davide was great at working with us.

I really enjoyed this tour into the environs of Florence! We went to Monteceri near Fiesole, with part of the tour in Fiesole itself. Our guide was knowledgeable and told us many things about nature and the history of the area, while we were hiking through a gorgeous forest. I was happy to see a different part of Tuscany (apart from Florence).

Amazing tour with two very personable young men — Davide e Jacopo — who took us by car into the hills of Fiesole for a hike, followed by lunch, a visit to a monastery and a tour of a family olive oil and wine business. We are tired but extremely appreciative for a very energizing and totally enjoyable day in the company of two knowledgeable and entertaining young men. Take a day away from the crowds in Bella Firenze.
