We did a 3-hour private tour of Siena with Giorgia this summer with our two teenage children. It was just perfect! Giorgia is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Siena and beyond, and it clearly showed in the depth of her answers to the very many questions that we asked. She was flexible to adapt the tour based on what we were interested in. Although not originally from Siena, she knows and loves the city like a local and has the ability to make the tour unforgettable. 160 Euros for a fantastic private our of Sienna. Very good value for money. Probably the best private city tour that we have ever done.

Apartments by Fair Winds tour operator. We had booked an apartment for April 2021 and due to Corona virus we had to cancel. Despite the financial difficulties of these times we received a refund this month and found the company very amenable and willing to bring to Florence the good reputation it deserves.

I couldn’t put correct date on this review - I did this tour with my two children in August 2019 and originally posted it then. I have had a message to say that I had posted it under the wrong company (one with a very similar name). I would like to re-post the review as we had such a brilliant day with our guide and would like to recommend the tour company to others whenever this type of activity goes ahead again! Our guide Ms Ivanova was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour took in many places around the city and we also visited the Uffizi in the afternoon. I was with my children aged 6 and 9 and both really enjoyed this day. They felt included and learned a lot. The guide met us at the times planned and gave plenty of opportunities for questions and were able to answer any queries. Everything was organised well and went smoothly. We were unable to book a tour inside the Duomo but actually this one which took us all the way around the outside and to other fascinating parts of the city was perfect for my family.

It was a nice walk around the city, and the guide was also very nice. I think it was somewhat lacking in information, like the tour could have been a bit more filled with nuggets of information... But maybe i'm just picky! it was a rainy day so part of the time we were sheltering from rain :)

We booked the Underground Colosseum tour in March but then Italy was placed under covid19 restrictions & our trip was cancelled We cancelled our tour a week before it was supposed to happen and contacted the company to request a refund. The CEO Piotr replied and requested that we wait 3 months for our refund due to the financial impact that covid19 had taken on their business. As I work in the hospitality industry in Ireland, I understood their difficulties, so with great trust, we agreed to wait 3 months for our refund. 9 months later, several unanswered phone calls & emails later, I have to accept that we were conned and will never receive our money back. Avoid booking tours with this company as they are crooks!
