We went on this tour which was twelve hours on and off a coach the longest leg of the journey was one hour forty minutes but the toilet remand locked which ruined the the whole day as I have a medical need and sometimes need to use the loo at short notice So as a consequence did not enjoy the day no wine tasting for me no drinking of any sort. the toilet facilities at each stop are woefully inadequate so a miserable experience and a waste of £390.00. So Viator dont pick lazy partners to run your tours I would ask for my money back but there is no opportunity to do that either !!

Very fast pace. Not suitable for children or elderly. The lunch was subpar at best. 90 people is too many for any tour but especially one with this pace.

All the towns were wonderful. We bought the package with lunch and a tour of Siena- you could do without it. Make sure you immediately get your ticket to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa. Otherwise, it gets extremely busy, and you won’t have time to go to the top.
