This was a wonderful tour, a lot more than we expected. Our driver Daniel was very knowledgeable of sights, history, and wines that went with certain foods. His recommendation if it was on our to do list was Chianti Classico with a steak ❤️❤️ We highly recommend this tour and Daniel.

Delicious wine and food with the best tour guide

Victoria_G, Apr 2024

Gabriele, very passionate guide picked us up in a comfortable MB van. The 2 wineries were great. 5/5

Perfect day in Chianti

Mary_P, Dec 2023

The day was perfect. Our driver was so knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. The wineries were great. Love the organic winery. Beautiful day and great tour. Highly recommend

Beautiful

Jamie_M, Dec 2023

This was a perfect day to explore outside of Florence for the day. We learned so much about wine and loved exploring San Gimignano. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommend (especially if you want to get away from the crowded tours)

Scot_S, Nov 2023

Andréa, our driver, was amazing. He knew the area well, was extremely professional and so friendly! He surprised us at the end of our trip with a bottle of Prosecco that we enjoyed. The vineyard and chateau we went to were amazing, not crowded with other tourists. I would highly recommend this private (semi-private) tour. We had lunch at the Chateau which was incredible. Would highly recommend! (We were picked up in a luxury Mercedes van and dropped off at our hotel when we were done, the trip was so comfortable). Went into San Gimignano, rich in architecture and one of the best-preserved Italian medieval towns. One of the best days we had in Italy!

Great experience

MARY_D, Nov 2023

Andrea did a great job with our wine tour. We loved the places we visited and the other group didn't show so we got a private tour. The weather was great when we visited San Gimignano and the shops we cute with all handmade Italian things. We learned a lot about wine in the chianti classico region and the different chianti regions.

San Gimignano and wine= perfect day!

Lindsey_W, Oct 2023

Excellent! Great guide…really fun day and would highly recommend! We stopped at Piazza Michelangelo, then San Gimignano, followed by two winery visits! Lunch was delicious!

Fantastic tour!!

Brittany_R, Oct 2023

This tour was amazing. San Gimignano is absolutely beautiful. Our driver Francisco was great, told us lots of good stories and took us to the best spots for pictures!

Authentic and delightful

Great trip! Our driver, Andrea, was a wealth of information and a lot of fun. Highly recommend going with him

Fun time, good wine, great views!

Andrew_M, Oct 2023

Had a great time - beautiful scenery, comfortable ride, knowledgeable and friendly guide/driver, and good company with other travelers. The food and wine were good, and the trip was essentially all day and felt like it was a good use of our time and money. Would recommend!

Lots to see and do

Lance_G, Oct 2023

Very friendly guide. Lists of room in van. Food and wine very good. Maybe too much. Liked stops at Michelson square and San Jacento the best. Excuse spelling. A little long.

Danielle_M, Oct 2023

Andy, our driver was awesome! And we loved the wineries/whole tour. Definitely a great way to spend a day out in Tuscany. Thank you!!

A perfect tour with all the highlights

Camille_B, Sep 2023

This tour was the highlight of my visit in Florence! My boyfriend and I got to see the beautiful Tuscany and taste very good wines without worrying about a thing. Our guide/chauffeur Rami was a very good driver, very knowledgable and also a good photograph :) we had great talks with him all along, it felt like visiting a friend! Going to the Piazzale early in the morning was perfect as it wasn’t crowded. The same at San Gimignano, we almost had the village to ourselves! The lunch at the first winery was tasty and gave amazing views of the chianti hills. The second tasting was delicious and very instructive. Over all I would definitely suggest booking this tour!

Great experience

maggie_k, Aug 2023

Remi was an exceptional driver and a great conversationalist. We had a very good time driving around to the wineries and learned a lot of history about the Chianti region. I highly recommend this booking.

Loved this Trip into Tuscany

Carol_C, Aug 2023

We had a great day in Tuscany. The trip was fabulous. Andrea was very good, telling us what to do and leading a great day out. The van was very comfortable and plenty of water provided in the heat of summer. The company was great. Don't hesitate because this trip was worth the money paid

Perfection

An adventure to remember

Shawna_H, Apr 2023

We had a blast with Rami! He was exceptionally, kind, funny, helpful, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Pampered us while on the tour. The wine and food were great, too. When back in Tuscany, we will be calling on Rami for another amazing day.
