    · May 28th, 2025
    Unforgettable Tuscan Escape! This tour through Tuscany was absolutely incredible—an unforgettable mix of culture, beauty, and relaxation! From the moment we landed in Florence, everything was perfectly organized. The hotel in Montecatini Terme was elegant and comfortable, right in the heart of a charming spa town that felt like a hidden gem. Each day brought something special—wine tasting at a beautiful family-run farm, exploring iconic cities like Siena, Pisa, and Florence, and enjoying amazing local food and wine. The guided tours were informative without being overwhelming, and the guides were passionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. One of the biggest highlights was the day trip through the Tuscan countryside—San Gimignano was like stepping into a fairytale, and the views were breathtaking. The combination of guided time and free time made it feel relaxing, not rushed. Montecatini itself was a wonderful home base. We loved the freedom to enjoy a spa treatment or just stroll through the lovely streets. And having a free day to choose extra activities or simply relax was such a thoughtful touch. Every detail was taken care of, and the whole experience felt curated with care and local insight. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a true taste of Tuscany—whether you're into history, food, wine, or just soaking in the beauty of Italy. Bravo to the organizers—this was a dream trip come true!

    I didn't know Montecatini Terme before, but from the moment I arrived, I felt at home. I was warmly welcomed at the airport, and the transfer to the hotel was easy, even though I was exhausted after all those hours of flying! The staff of the local tour operator explained every detail of the itinerary and even provided 24/7 assistance for any needs. Truly wonderful people! It was the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. We had the chance to unwind and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Montecatini with two days off, mixed with planned excursions like wine tasting, where we met a couple from Canada and another from England, all on the same tour with Ranieri Tour Operator, the local provider. We shared an amazing visit to Florence and an unforgettable day at Cinque Terre. I can still almost smell the sea!. Tuscany is absolutely beautiful, even more than I could have imagined, and everything is so easy to get to.

    An excellent choice: every stage of the itinerary perfectly combined the beauty of Tuscany with the delights of its culinary treasures! The wine tasting at the farm, the discovery of Leonardo da Vinci's birthplace, and the visits to Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti were unforgettable experiences. However, our favorite part was the guided tour of Florence, which was truly a gastronomic tour - an ideal blend of Renaissance art and stops in Florentine boutiques to discover and taste typical Tuscan products. We really had a chance to relax! Many thanks again to Letizia and the entire local Ranieri Tour Operator team! We'll certainly be recommending this tour to all our friends.
