Hotel nice but remote no taxi r any form of transport over weekend. No lunch provided on number of occasions. Guide excellent but was struggling at times as had not previously visited some areas. Festival outing of limited interest

Overall this was an excellent holiday in terms of the tours. The visits to Assisi, Montepulciano and the trip on Treno Naturo ending with the lunch with the commune of Asciano, Our tour manager, James, went the extra mile to ensure our experiences were enjoyable and my fellow travellers were wonderful. However, both the location and the hotel were not entirely suitable. The staff did their best but the hotel was not really equipped for groups. The evening meals were exceptional.

Good tour unfortunately let down by the hotel. More time to explore the villages visited would have been nice.

This has the potential to be a great tour but is let down by the location of the hotel and some aspects of their accommodation and services. The nearest village of Montereggioni is approx. 2.5 miles away and difficult to reach independently. Free days are an issue due to this but our Tour Manager James was very pro-active and arranged for the coach to take us to Siena for one of those days. The excursions are all very good, especially the trip to Assisi where we had a guided tour by a Franciscan monk. The guided tour of Montepulciano was excellent but a new venue should be chosen for the lunch and wine tasting as this was disappointing. Overall an enjoyable holiday but it could be improved.

It was the first group on a new tour. Despite Eurostar breaking down, trains cancelled at short notice, and French strikes, we got to our destination on time. The tour manager was excellent. The schedule needs a bit of tweaking.
