Try Luca Garapa of Hillsandroads.com. He arranged wine tastings for us and also took us on day trips when we stayed in Radda a few years ago. He's really wonderful- a Siena native, very knowledgeable and charming!

Another VERY enthusiastic vote for Luca!! We took two tours with him on two separate days about 2.5 years ago. He picked us up at our hotel, tailored the day around our wants, abilities and interests (we did not have exact places we wanted to go or see so we just communicated with him via e-mail and he put together 2 fabulous days), and drove us back to the hotel in Florence at the end of the day.
He is a fun, intelligent young man. He is an excellent, safe and reliable driver. Don't hesitate to get in touch with him by e-mail and see if you can book him. His rates are reasonable and you will have a marvelous time.
He does not always answer e-mails immediately (he can get quite busy with touring although the winter is off-season so you should get answered quicker now), but send a reminder in a few days if you don't get an answer soon.
Let me know if you have any other questions!!
