WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

I booked I Just Drive through the Hotel Davanzati and selected the Tuscan Countryside package which included a drive to several cities. We visited Piazzale Michelangelo, San Gimignano, Siena, Monteriggioni and a stop at Montespertoli Vineyard for a wine tour. Our driver was Fabio and he was an excellent guide - he was very knowledgeable of the towns, shared the history of the towns along with "legends" of the towns. If you are thinking about booking a trip through I Just Drive (Now Truescany), I urge you to do so - you won't be disappointed. Thanks for making the trip to the Tuscan countryside memorable, Fabio!

It’s well-known for its delicious ice cream and impressive stone towers. These towers were built during medieval times and served as a form of defense.

It’s a true jewel for anyone who wants to dive into the Middle Ages. Monteriggioni Castle is a fascinating place with a rich history. It was founded in the 1220s by the Republic of Siena to protect against Florence. Today, it remains much as it was in the 13th century, with famous city walls and 14 towers.

what they say about us

Wonderful way to see San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Sienna and a wine tasting all in one afternoon. Our driver Fabio was excellent !!! Beautiful views from a comfortable Mercedes sedan. This company is very well run and easy to navigate the informative website.

by Orchidsal

We had a great day exploring these towns of Tuscany. Fulvio was a wonderful driver and provided lots of information about the places we visited. A great one day tour!

I visited Florence with my parents and sister to celebrate my folks 50th wedding anniversary. My father's mobility can be challenged, and going with I Just Drive to see the countryside was a perfect solution for us. We booked two tours, the communication was excellent, the drivers extremely punctual and professional while being fun, and the cars were very luxurious and comfortable. I highly recommend this company. We did the Deep Chianti tour, along with a gentleman from Japan, hosted by Daniel. It was a great time! Daniel was informative and fun, and the wineries we visited were excellent. Both offered excellent tours, information, wine and olive oil, charcuterie and cheese (and one was on an amazing property with a "summer house"). You definitely won't be hungry so don't eat a lot at lunch! Day two we did the Best of Tuscany with four other people from New Zealand, hosted by Fulvio. He also was very knowledgeable and fun. We saw San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, and Siena which were all very beautiful. Unfortunately, it was raining on and off all day, but we had umbrellas and made the best of it - it was still beautiful! We also visited a winery that was very good and informative with good prices as well. It was a good day.

This was our first trip to Italy and we truly enjoyed our day trip from Florence out to see parts of Tuscany including San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena and a winery. Our driver, Fulvio, was super-friendly, fun and full of information about the places we were visiting. It was a nice change of pace from the museums and monuments we had seen thus far on our trip and a chance to experience the countryside and some smaller, slower-paced and very beautiful towns.
