If you are looking for a relaxing day in the Tuscan Sun then contact Simon. My Wife and I joined 2 other couples for a day with Simon and Massimo. You may think his job easy as the destinations he takes you to are simply amazing but he fills in the blanks to make the whole day fabulous. And he... More

We had a really great tour with Simon. We got to see a lot in one day without feeling rushed. All of the stops were interesting, the wine a food were great and the views were fantastic. Simon was a great guide, providing interesting information about the stops and tips/info for visiting Italy in general. More

What a beautiful and relaxing day. My daughter and I just returned from a trip to Italy and Switzerland. One of the highlights of our whole trip was our "slow day in Tuscany". Our guide, Simon picked us up promptly at our hotel. We then drove through beautiful countryside to a privately owned vineyard where we had wine tasting and... More

Our tour into Chianti with Simon was one of the highlights of our stay in Florence. We looked at many tours that involved starting at 7.30 am and lasting for 12 or 13 hours, definitely not what we wanted. Simon picked us up at 9.45am (much more civilized hour) and we drove in the comfort of his car for the... More

Lets start by saying that this is a semi private tour. Simon (the owner) was amazing, he personally picks you up and takes you along with maybe 2 or 3 others. We were extremely glad he was able to accommodate us as I literally emailed him 48 hrs before the tour. This will be a day off the beaten path... More

We booked this tour as a break from sightseeing during our 4 day stay in Florence. Simon was a great guide, knowledgeable and talkative, and certainly made the day more enjoyable. We were in a group of just four so used Simon's car to travel, better than being on the usual tour bus. After a couple of stops to admire... More

My husband and I recently returned from two weeks in Europe and the Slow Day in Tuscany was our favorite day of the trip! Simon was a wonderful guide. We were lucky enough to get the private tour on a Sunday and it was PERFECT! He was on time to the hotel and as soon as we started driving, we... More

This was one of the best parts of my husband's and my trip to Italy (a first for us), even though it was raining almost the whole day. Simon (a delightful Londoner who has lived in Florence for years) met us at our hotel and we walked through Florence picking up four others at their hotels (one other woman travelling... More

My husband and I were traveling on our own and wanted a day off the beaten path. We chose A Slow Day in Tuscany because the day sounded like what we were looking for, and there was a maximum number of 8 people on the tour. Quite unexpectedly, we were the only couple that day. Simon could have not have... More

My wife and I, along with both sets of our parents, took a trip through Italy this past March. We started with a few very busy days in Rome and Florence, and planned this tour as a way to wind down before moving on to Venice. We absolutely loved it. Simon was a terrific guide, personable and laid-back, and he... More
