Great Tuscany Experience

Daniel & Daniel we’re great hosts/guides. The view at the first winery / BnB alone is worth the price of admission. (Bluff overlooking winery & San Gimingano) Gelato was on point at San Gimignano. (Saffron, orange cream & pine nuts beat in the world) Tasting at the final winery is a great spread (6-9 types of wine, plus shipping included in price).

David, the statue was magnificent. Well worth it. Our tour guide was very into art history, so sometimes it was hrs to follow his analogies. Tour was great and we saw a lot. Wish we had more time to see the paintings in the Accademia
