We had a very pleasant stay at the Castel Montalcino and enjoyed the view from the property a lot. It was especially nice as we could benefit from a private tour. We‘d definitely recommend it as a drive-by tour, thanks again for the hospitality!

This was a very good way to go to the Castel Sant'Angelo without having to go with a group. The only issue is if you have any questions - there is no one to ask and the Castel was set up differently than the tour was. I think there was construction that changed the set-up which isn't their fault but still hard to navigate through. Otherwise, I absolutely loved the information given and it was a beautiful location for sure.

We, group of 4, had a full day in Florence before the start of our Tauck tour and booked two tours with Through Eternity Tours to help us optimize the learning experience. We were so fortunate to have Emily as our guide for the morning Best of Florence Tour and Brenda for the afternoon Uffizi Gallery tour. Both Emily and Brenda had in depth knowledge of the buildings, art and history which they passed on to us during the well paced walking tours.Emily's details as we walked through the city streets brought life to renaissance Florence for us. Brenda was always able to get us up front to closely view the artwork as we toured the Uffizi and listened to her detailed description. I highly recommend Through Eternity Tours when you are traveling in Florence and would request both Emily and Brenda to be your tour guides. As "local" guides they were outstanding and made our day an exceptional one! Also thanks to Gina, Through Eternity Tours, who helped me organize the two tours by email.

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.
