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.

“I had the pleasure of visiting Toscana via Gusto Cycling even though I’m not an avid cyclist personally! Seriously, Gusto Cycling is much more than just getting on a bike… If you fancy a weekend get-away (or longer) to explore the wonderful sights & sounds of the Tuscan countryside and cities then make Gusto Cycling your ‘go too’ There is something for everyone: magnificent shopping, sightseeing, magnificent spas, an amazing array of food and wine, cultural trips. There are very few breaks where you can be sunning yourself on a beach one day, sightseeing in Florence the next & visiting an outdoor spa another, all whilst indulging in the more sumptuous food & wine the world has to offer. Cyclist or not, my husband and I cannot recommend Gusto Cycling enough…” Catherine Foster, Sept 2020
