We were a group of 14 people, this was car 2 of 2. The car was well airconditioned, which was great since it was late July. With 7 adults, we fit comfortably in the car with 1 adult in the front, 3 in the middle, and 3 in the back. The drive is quite windy and bumpy, so if you are prone to motion sickness, you should sit in the front. There was also a middle seat in the front, but we chose to use the 3 seats in the middle and back rows.
Jay was an excellent driver! He was originally from the US, so his English was perfect, which was great since our group only spoke English. We were the second of two cars and we followed the other car throughout the trip. As a large group, it was nice to driver in tandem throughout the whole day.
We had a stop at Pisa and we're given an hour to walk around. Then we headed to Podere La Maronaia where the drivers had booked us a winery lunch and wine tasting. This was an extra 45 Euros per adult. The wine, scenery, and lunch were excellent. Highly recommend asking your driver to stop here. After a couple hours, our driver said it was time to go to San Gimignano where we walked around the town. They recommended Gelateria Dondoli, which would have a very long line but would move fast. They were correct. And the gelato was spectacular. After an hour here, we met the drivers back at the car and headed back to Florence. This was a great way to tour Tuscany. Highly recommend this experience!
