In Siena, your private driver will guide you from site to site while sharing the elaborate history and intriguing stories of the city, and giving you free time to explore each site on the tour.

Traveller reviews
Emanuela was excellent. She was kind and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our laid back day seeing Siena, Tuscan countryside (with winery), and San Gimignano. The weekend we went was the horse race event and it was even more special to see the set-up and festivities for that tradition!
Driver spoke excellent English. He gave great advice on where to go in each stop. Very accommodating.
This was our favorite day of our entire Italy trip. The Siena and San Gimignano tour was outstanding, and Gabrielle made it even better. He is such a kind and genuine person, and you can tell he truly cares about the experience his guests have. One thing that really stood out was how easy he was to understand. His English pronunciation was excellent, which made a big difference in being able to fully enjoy and follow everything throughout the day. The day itself was perfectly structured. We started with exploring and shopping in Siena, then moved into a private wine tasting with a great lunch, and finished in San Gimignano with more time to walk around and enjoy the town. It never felt rushed and flowed really well from start to finish. If you are considering a day trip from Florence, this is a must. It was a true highlight of our trip.
Great guide and tour! Lovely day!
Where to even begin? We spent the entire day driving from Florence to the Tuscany area with stops in Siena and San Gimignano. Mattio was our fabulous driver and Rafaella was our fearless leader. The weather was cool but beautiful. Not enough words to describe the Tuscan region but I can chat about our tour. Rafaella’s knowledge of landmark’s, history of the region and descriptions of building is second to none. She has an outsized personality and is always smiling and happy. She manages an excellent team in Florence. Her local knowledge and ability to explain the customs of the region was phenomenal. She made us feel like part of her family.
One of the highlights of our honeymoon. We had the best day with our guide Emanuela and driver Leonardo. We are in our late 30’s/early 40’s and had a fun, enriching day learning the ins and outs of Siena and San Giamignano with Emanuela. She is a fount of knowledge, and covered everything from the academic and historical to the modern culture and society, and delivered it all with an incredible amount of passion and thoughtfulness. It was like hanging out with your favorite college professor, or history buff aunt! We only wish we had her for more of our trip! To top it off, we had an incredible lunch and wine/olive oil tasting at a local vineyard/agriturismo, a spot we would’ve have found ourselves, but was absolutely incredible. So much so that we ended up ordering wine to be delivered home - a service the vineyard smartly provided! All in all an incredible tour, worthwhile, and with great company. Thank you Emanuela, Leonardo, and LivTours!
Out drivers were on time and informative in the area we visited ! I would use Liv Tours again. The vans were very clean
Perfect day. We spent enough time in the towns. And a fabulous lunch with wine tasting on the countryside overlooking San giamignano. Our driver Lorenzo, was wonderful. Knowledgeable, funny, caring and kind. He was perfectly fantastic!
