    Best tour of Tuscany
    Olga_S, Mar 2024
    Rainy day didn’t promise much, but Cristian was an amazing guide who managed to give his best. San Gimignano is an impressive not to be missed town at the Toscana Wineries were fantastic. Don’t miss this tour. Best of La Toscana
    Fun Day in Tuscany

    Christian was a a very good guide and it was a very fun experience that lasted much of the day. Good vinyards and a balance of group time and personal exploration time.
    For a taste of Tuscany try this!

    Heaven on earth - Wines, antipasti, more food, and gelato.

    Well structured wine tour. First, we visited Corbucci Winery, Francesco was enthusiastic about his wines and he is a masterful storyteller. We thought it was incredibly educational, we enjoyed learning from him, and saw how passionate he is about his craft. We like going to see the Chianina cows although it was not on the itinerary. The tour guide noticed that we were interested. The Tuscan lunch at the next winery was very tasty and well prepared. San Gimignano is beautiful with its skyline of medieval towers. Overall, this was an excellent experience and we had a great group of people.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Dear Sandra, we're so grateful for your amazing words. We're very happy to know that you appreciated both wineries, that we chose very carefully, to guarantee an authentic and genuine dive into the Chianti wine culture. We hope we'll have the chance to meet you again in the future and we wish you all the best!
    Fun and Informative!

    The Daniels were so nice and funny! They made my wife and I feel very welcomed. The wine tour at the end with lunch was amazing, delicious, and very informative! Highly recommend this tour, but maybe with horse back riding in the morning instead of two wine tours.
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Dear Lee, it has been very nice having you with us. We're very happy that you had a good time with us and fully enjoyed the tour! We look forward to meeting you soon for a horseback ride together! :)
    A perfect day
    Alison_H, Dec 2023
    When taking a pole of the 7 members on our tour the vote was a unanimous 5 stars. The two wineries were perfect examples of Tuscan wineries and the food was exceptional. We all agreed that more time in San Gimignano would have been good for their economy. We just didn’t have time to browse.
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    Dear Alison, thank you so much for your enthusiastic words :) Reading that you had a great day of fun and that you appreciated every activity in the tour is the best reward to us! Please come back to visit us soon!

    My husband and I had an amazing time on this tour! Our tour guide, Christian, was knowledgeable, entertaining, and even took us to a couple extra stops on the way to and from the wineries. The wine was delicious and so was the food. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the Tuscan wine country. So glad we chose this tour over the other options!

    Fun time
    Terence_B, Nov 2023
    Our driver/guide was nice and knowledgeable. The food at the wineries was mediocre, so don’t expect it to be great. The first winery was good, although I felt pressured to buy wine. The wine was good, but didn’t knock my socks off. The second winery meal was so/so and the wine was not great. All in all it was a nice way to see a glimpse of Tuscany.
    Response from Host, Nov 2023
    Dear Terence, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're very sorry that the food and the wine didn't fulfill your expectations. On the other hand, we're very glad that you appreciated the beauty of the Tuscan countryside. We hope we'll have the chance to meet you soon again and fully appreciate the delicacies that Tuscany offers. Best Regards
    Flawless experience, amazing guide Daniele
    Megan_A, Oct 2023
    My two friends and I had an amazing day with this tour! Our guide Daniele was wonderful - very kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful. It was super convenient to be picked up in Florence and driven everywhere that we went. Both wineries we visited were great, as was the visit to San Gimignano. It was a flawless experience with no complaints, all three of us are so happy that we went! Thank you Daniele!

    Lisa_R, Oct 2023
    Our tour guide, Bijn, was fantastic. Very energetic, and knowledgeable of the area and history. Our group was 4 couples who did not know each other. By lunch time, it was like breaking bread with friends.

    Rosemarie_C, Oct 2023
    Tuscany is amazing. It's absolutely gorgeous. This Chianti Wine tour was great in itself but made phenomenal by our guide, Elisabetta. I would hands down recommend her over and over again. She has such passion and love for her city and made our time here truly memorable. If you book this tour (and I hope you do) please, please ask for her. She's a true gem. You won't be disappointed is any way with this tour.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Great, fun, easy way to see the Tuscan wine country!
    vernon_v, Oct 2023
    A maximum of 8 people on each tour makes it very nice. The first winery was fabulous!! The second had a beautiful that we were served a lovely lunch on. Great, fun, easy way to see the Tuscan wine country! Beautiful scenic drive there and back. Daniel, our tour guide was really fun. He kept us on track and interjected alot of energy, fun and information along the way. I would do the same one again!

    Views and wine!
    Anonymous, Oct 2023
    Our guide, Mikaliev, was excellent. In addition to being friendly and knowledgable, he knew all the perfect photo spots and was a willing photographer which helped secure our memories. We felt it was worth every penny to have him drive us to Tuscany, rather than try to maneuver the winding roads. We toured two wineries, with the first being smaller and family owned. Our tasting was excellent, and made better with the incredible views of San Gimignano in the distance. The second winery was a beautiful venue and served lunch. (To be honest, the food at lunch was less than average and the service below average-including a 20+ minute wait for tables merging three tour groups) I will still give a great rating to the tour--because our guide, the driving, the first winery tour, and San Gimignano were all excellent.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted that you spent a pleasant time with us :) We're sorry that you didn't enjoy as much the second winery.
