Great ½ day tour.
Erin_M, Apr 2024
This tour was fabulous . We visited a very small winery and a large winery. the countryside was gorgeous and our tour guide Nathan was knowledgeable and provided a great tour. We didn’t want to spend the whole day on a tour so this was perfect at 5 hours.

The first winery was a little bit bland in terms of knowledge based descriptions. But the second winery was filled with Life and delicious cuisine with nice pairings.
Great way to spend an afternoon!
Sonja_M, Apr 2024
We enjoyed our tour of Tuscany wineries. Interesting local knowledge and scenery. 2 very different style wineries round out a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Lovely food and of course the Chianti!🍷

Organized, and a great guide! Comfortable bus, safe driver. Perfect amount of time for a 1/2 day. Two different experiences with each estate. Snacks were nice and both estates accommodated my gluten allergy which I appreciated very much! The first estate was fantastic , engaging the audience and very knowledgeable- Marco was incredible, charismatic and had us laughing. The 2nd estate had beautiful grounds, event space and knowledgeable friendly staff. Our negative takeaways were the following: we did not stop on our way there or way back for any type of picturesque photo opportunities. There were several rolling hills of a typical Tuscany countryside that I would’ve loved to stop and take photos- but I do understand it is not easy to pull the bus over and unload 50 people. It just shouldn’t be a part of the description if not possible. The other negative was on the way back the bus was very warm and borderline uncomfortable- fans were blowing but no AC. Another suggestion we thought was to switch the order of the estates and do the 2nd one first. Marcos personality and engagement was incredible and we left there feeling energized and excited- the 2nd estate was more subdued - still very nice- but different vibe completely.
Italian style and fun.

From the comfortable coach, the quality of the wine and its presentation and the two hosts who were both informative and fun to listen to. A great escape from the crowds of Firenze. Well done to you all.
Great value and experience for price.
Rodrigo_B, Mar 2024

Chianti tour

The experience of being driven to Chianti countryside and the unique wine houses was unforgettable and breathtaking
Wine and fun
David_C, Mar 2024
Visited 2 wineries and were trained on how to taste and evaluate the wines. All the wines were excellent.
Wine was excellent, tour company less satisfactory.
Jack_T, Mar 2024
The tour company had poor organisational skills, we arrived 20minutes early however were not checked in until 10 minutes after our departure time due to many different tours leaving at the same time. The pick up location was not well established nor was it signed which resulted in confusion & chaos for the 1 person checking in multiple different tour groups. This also resulted in a late departure for our tour as multiple people were still waiting in line to be checked in. Wine was excellent, overall experience with tour company probably wouldn’t book with them again.
Fantastic Wine Country

Wine tour experience
Maria_C, Feb 2024
The second stop on the tour was the best. Very interactive and fun. Learned some techniques. Tour guide was sweet and informative. There was some drama on the ride home with the bus driver and quests as your not allowed to use the bathroom that is located on the bus.
Memorable and delicious.
Kirk_S, Feb 2024
The energy brought by each winery was amazing! We learned more about the grapes in the region and what makes them unique and special. The presentation and snacks provided with each of the wines in Tuscany were generous and the settings were so beautiful. Highly recommended to all visiting Tuscany. The guide and driver were also excellent leaders for this trip.
Lots of laughs and good wine.
Aileen_L, Feb 2024
Donato at the first winery was amazing. He had so much information and was funny and passionate about the winery, wine and view. He was wonderful. The second winery was also good but not as much information. Luca the driver was an amazing driver and made the drive of such a big bus through narrow roads seem so smooth. Jacob the tour guide was also very nice and friendly
