WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US

We loved the little towns we visited. The owner of the winery was very generous and hospitable. We could see his passion in his work. He was casual, and this created a fun, relaxing environment. To us the prices of the wine and shipping was very reasonable. I believe one of the main highlights for us was the driver Andrea. We enjoyed his stories and his charisma. Totally would recommend him!

what they say about us

Fabio was a fantastic guide with lots of knowledge. A great tour for people who want to see Tuscany. Beautiful towns, incredible countryside and ended with a brilliant wine tasting. Highly recommend

by Tom_E

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.

by debihair13

Our tour guide was personable, knowledgeable and entertaining. We were part of very small group and felt that all got very personal attention. The wine tasting and tour of the winery was great. And the wine, snacks more like a small meal were wonderful as was the hostess at the winery. Would recommend it to friends and family and will when any of them visit Florence

by Douglas R

We could not have enjoyed our day more! Our driver was knowledgeable and friendly. The three stops were perfect, broke up the ride so we never felt we were in the car too long. We were lucky to be joined by a nice couple as well. The winery was lovely. It was a beautiful day!

by Marie M

Our guide Amiiano was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history. He was down to earth and friendly. It felt like we were spending a nice day with friends (4 tourists + Amiliano). At every stop, he gave us iPads that had pre=programmed areas of interest on the map so we can be efficient with our exploration. At the end of our tour, Amiliano even busted out a bottle of Prosecco for us to share and toast to a great day.
