Location to Florence is not clear
Diane_A, Oct 2019
We booked and paid for this tour well in advance. We were staying in Florence without a car. It is not clear that this tour is 45 mins away from Florence. The reference to the pick up place to the train station is misleading. It is not the Florence train station but one quite a distance away. They operator offered to pick us up in Florence for 90 Euro each! We only paid 25ish euro for the tour. Needless to say we did not attend this tour. Only consider booking if you have a car. Transportation from Florence is not worth the cost.
Surprisingly enjoyable morning!

Our friendly and knowledgeable host shared interesting information about the region and farming methods as well as the windmill created to Leonardo Da Vinci design. Very hands on knowledge made it that much more interesting. Then we have a fantastic olive oil tasting session as well as their organic Chianti wine. We left their lovely shop with a variety of salamis, cheese, breads and of course wine. A very worthy little excursion for a great price in a lovely part of the country.
Response from Host, Jul 2019
We are very happy you enjoyed our oil and wind mill tour. Thank you very much for your visit !!
Très bonne activité, notre guide...
Camille D, May 2017
Très bonne activité, notre guide était passionné, il nous a montré les champs d'huile d'olive, l'intérieur du moulin et nous avons pu déguster 3 huiles d'olive différentes. A la fin, notre guide nous a offert une dégustation de chianti alors que cela n'était pas prévu dans le prix. En revanche, le lieu est assez mal indiqué et le GPS ne nous a pas emmener à la bonne adresse, l'interlocuteur n'est pas directement le guide donc cela n'est pas très pratique. De plus, il y avait écrit tenue correcte exigée mais nous n'avons pas du tout compris pourquoi car nous avons dû marcher dans les champs et monter des escaliers étroits...
