We have very limited time in Florence and no car, so are looking for a tour of some other Tuscany sights. The WalkaboutFlorence Best of Tuscany tour has outstanding reviews on TripAdvisor (perhaps too outstanding, but there are over a thousand so I doubt they are faked). Has anyone here has any experience with this group and any of their tours? Thanks

We have taken that tour and my nephew just took it two weeks ago. It is very nice especially the lunch at the Tuscan farm-great food and lovely views. We went to Sienna, San Gimignano, Tuscan farm,and then Pisa. We were gone about 12 hours and while we do not normally take bus day tours, this was a very good one.

Thanks Linda. We also avoid tours when possible, but find that one or two can help stretch a tight schedule sometimes.

We booked an all day Best of Tuscany tour with Artviva last May from Florence and it was very good. We really liked their smaller group size (I think we had about 15 in our group). We stopped at 3 Tuscan towns: San Gimignano, Monteriggione, and Siena with a nice mix of "tour" time and "free" time, plus we had a guided tour and lunch at a winery. here is their website: http://www.italy.artviva.com/tours/13/best_of_tuscany We enjoyed Tuscany so much that we took the local train to Pisa and Lucca the next day.
