Traveler reviews
Great Tour
Great tour.....the employees of each winery was so pleasant and fill of information. The ride on the bus was comfortable. I would highly recommend this tour.
Siena and San Gimignano
Excellent service from Ciao Florence, the tour was very good and Lorenza is very attentive and pleasant.
Good setup.
Good setup. Little vineyard first was a good option. Nice to have two different kinds of presentations.
10/10 would recommend!
Alex and Forese were amazing, full of information and it was so much fun! Two different wine tastings at two different vineyards, we were able to order wine to ship back home to the US. We also bought a couple bottles to enjoy here in Italy at our hotel. Amazing experience and I love that Alex took the time to get to know us.
Good if you want to party!
If you are looking for a party bus - this is your tour - if you are looking for a true wine tasting experience, look somewhere else. The tour takes you on a large bus (read loud and very full) for 45 minutes to the countryside. The tour guide had ample time to share interesting facts or information about the wine country and the histroy of wine in Italy, but little to none was shared. The vineyards we visted were so-so and gave some pretty views but not a lot was explained about the origins of the wine or how to do a tasting. There was also no tour of the cellars or vineyards of any sort. If you are looking for a party bus (booze cruise feel, loud with lots of young people) this is the tour for you. If you want something more refined and where you can truly enjoy the experience I would suggest looking elsewhere.
