Review of a full-day Tuscany tour from Florence to Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, and a Chianti winery lunch with wine tasting.

“The day was great! Our tour guide was absolutely amazing! He even helped me find my phone when it went missing! The tour is perfectly described on the Viator app as to what you will do for the day. Personally all in our group said if we did it again we wouldn’t go to Pisa and would have really wanted to stay longer in the other two towns. The wine tasting and lunch is an absolute must!!”

“We had a wonderful time during this trip, despite the weather doing its best to spoil it! All the meeting details were provided in advance and were very clear. We chose the option that included a hike to the top of Mount Vesuvius. Viviana was our guide, and we were very pleased with how she handled the tour and the insightful information she shared along the way. Our first main stop was the archaeological site of Pompeii. Here, we were divided into smaller groups and handed over to professional tour guides who took us around the site for approximately two hours. It was an incredible experience to see the city…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,831 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $145

Review of a Tuscan farmhouse cooking class from Florence, with a market tour, handmade pasta, four-course lunch, Chianti, and recipes.

“Booked this a few days before my trip & I was so excited. My expectations were far exceeded. I took my mom to Italy for our first time for her 60th birthday trip. She’s a little slow at walking so when Luca says a five minute walk it might’ve taken her a little longer, but he was an absolute pleasure and kept us all laughing. I feel honored to have met him and Erika. So fun so full of knowledge… taken on a short tour around Florence and the markets… quite the experience and then took the bus to the farmhouse and it was such a beautiful peaceful view. The…”

Review of the Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius day tour from Naples, with a guided Pompeii visit, pizza lunch, crater hike, transport, and practical tips.

“We had high expectations for this tour as it was costly and we had great experience with viator tours in the past. Unfortunately, this tour was quite dissapointing. First of all, it promised hotel pick up and drop off, and neither were delivered. We started the tour by learning 5 mins before pick up that we had to go to a pick up lcation. We got on the bus at 9:40 and the Pompeii tour started at 11:30 due to total chaos at the Pompeii tour booth. (As a side note, if you have hearing problems in your right ear you will have to hand hold the ear piece you…”
