A magical visit to Siena, Tuscany and Il Palio !
Roberto arrived exactly on time to pick up my adult daughter and I in Florence to transport us to Siena for the August Il Palio.
Along the way we visited San Gimignano and Volterra.
His pleasant demeanor, and knowledge was impressive. He then dropped us off at our hotel in Siena.
The next morning we met Roberto again for a trip to 2 wineries and a short visit to Monteriggioni.
What a wonderful experience. That evening we met Tomas for the contrada dinner of the Chiocciola (Snail).
It was a wonderful, incredible evening!The next day Tomas arranged for Emiliano to meet us for a walking tour of Siena that included the blessing of the horses, and the parade preceding Il Palio. We found Emiliano to be extraordinarily knowledgeable, energetic, and interesting. Then Il Palio!!! Tomas arranged for us to get balcony tickets right near the start and finish line. This was my first time attending Il Palio, and it was truly incredible. Needless to say, Siena and Tuscany will never be the same for me. We are so grateful to Tomas Pedani and his entire staff at We Drive You Tuscany for the experience of a lifetime. Everything Tomas said he would do, he did, and it was done with style, class and incredible professionalism. THANK YOU Tomas, and Thank You We Drive You Tuscany for an amazing, once in a lifetime Tuscany adventure!

We hired Wedriveyou.it for a full day. We planned our trip to include a couple wineries, lunch, a visit to Siena, and dinner in San Gimignano. Our driver, was the greatest. He was so knowledgeable of the area, providing commentary along the beautiful drive. He called ahead to our various stops to be sure we didn't have any problems. Even though our day was jammed full, he provided a relaxed atmosphere and got us to all our destinations. He suggested a wonderful local cafe for a quick breakfast before we got started. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. In fact, it turned out to be our favorite day of our 16 day tour across Italy, Croatia, and Greece. Additionally, booking with them was extremely easy. Tomas was very responsive and patient with all my questions. I highly recommend them. I give them 10 stars.

It was just the most lovely day. Roberto picked us up at our hotel in Florence at 9am and drove us to the medieval town of San Gimignano with spectacular views of the lavish Tuscan countryside, enriching education of the medieval architecture and towers, and the world famous gelato at the Gelateria Dondoli. We then left for Siena where we were met with a wonderful tour of Roberto's hometown. He, of course, knew all of the historical information about Siena, the Palio, the Piazza del Campo, the Siena Duomo, the museums, art and cuisine. We had delicious homemade pici pasta at the romantic Compagnia dei Vinattiere restaurant. The educational and enjoyable tour was yet more interesting because Roberto engulfed us in his love for his beautiful Siena. Roberto drove us back to our hotel about 6pm. We absolutely would highly recommend Roberto and We Drive You Tuscany! A highlight of our time in Italy.

We just returned from a fabulous day spent with Tomas touring the lovely Tuscany region. Our day began in Firenze with a pickup at our hotel followed by a stop at the beautiful palace gardens that overlook the city. Amazing views to be had from this point. From here we left the city to visit several wonderful hilltop mid evil cities including Siena and San Gimignano. We spent time at each village shopping, eating gelato and exploring the incredible ancient buildings that reflect the Midi-evil, Renaissance, and Byzantine periods. We ate a wonderful lunch in Siena and after visiting the sites there headed off to wine taste. Wine tasting was a really fun experience in itself. Quite tasty Chiantis and super Tuscans.
Tomas was an absolute delight and was very informative about Italian history, wine, and everyday topics. He was a joy to talk to. All and all a great way to spend a day seeing many sites and having fun. We hope to be back to perhaps do one of his bike tours!

Really enjoyed the flavor of Sienna and visiting family-run wineries. Great way to spend day.

TOUR: Siena and surroundings.
When we got to Siena the local Hertz was taking a 3.5 hour break leaving me and my family stranded without transportation and the clock ticking to make it to a cooking class south of Siena.
We Drive You to the rescue. Tomas was easy to work with and got a van headed our way in short order.
The driver was professional and friendly and gave us background and history of the area as we traveled to our final destination. If you need a group to take care of you in Siena I highly recommend.
