Amazing tour! Highly recommended!! Beautiful scenery on the way to each winery. Our guide Martina made the day so interesting and enjoyable! She was so much fun, full of such interesting information. Learned how to taste wine and learned about how to choose good olive oil. Our driver (his name escapes me!) was great, always felt safe. At each winery the people were so accommodating and served us delicious foods and wines! Do not pass this tour up!

Gloria was our tour guide. Sergio was our driver. This was absolutely the best tour I have ever been to. The safari bus was so comfortable and great on the Tuscano back roads. The three villas and wineries were beautiful. Gloria was great and informative about the wines , cheeses and olive oil. This was a great price for the tour and experience. The wine tasting was amazing and I learned how to taste the different wines and what to look for.

We visited 3 wineries. Each with its own charm and beauty. Two marvelous tastings sandwiched around a lovely meal at a wine and olive vineyard deep in the Tuscany hills.

This trip was fantastic!! Gloria was our guide and she was very sweet and very knowledgeable. It was very cool riding around in this crazy vehicle driven by Sergio. He was able to get us to some of the most beautiful wineries we have ever seen and Gloria showed us around each one and explained each of the wines we tried as well as the food pairings. Lunch was amazing and we also met some lovely people also on the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. Thank you Gloria and Sergio!!

Amazing day learning about wine, tasting it, and seeing the beautiful breathtaking countryside. Lovina was a fantastic guide. And the truck was a nice added touch.

Our hosts were Lavi and Roberto driving. Lavi was a wealth of knowledge through the whole trip! Teaching us about wine, olive oil and history of the Tuscan area, with great enthusiasm! And just as important, at our first stop I noticed Roberto checking under the big green truck, by the time we got back from our first stop, there was another vehicle there for us without skipping a beat! Service and care for us on the tour, uncomprimised! Just book it!!

I had an incredible day and this is a trip I'll never forget. Alessandro was an amazing guide and ensured we all knew as much as we could about the area and history. The food and wine was delicious and the views are to die for. I would definitely recommend this trip. Thank you also to Sergio for being a great and safe driver. Definitely a must do when you're here!

Chianti Safari is a MUST DO! We had an incredible experience. Lavie is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the wine making process. We have never done anything like this and I would 1000% do it again. This shows you Tuscany from a whole new view. You truly can’t even express the breathing taking views! Our driver Roberto was fantastic as well!

Wonderful tour of Tuscany, it was such a great way to see it. We received an excellent choice of food and wine through the day. The Villas and grounds are simply stunning and no pictures can really do it justice! Our guide, Levvi, and our driver, Roberto, were exceptional. We would highly recommend this tour!
