Traveler reviews
Amazing! Thank you for a wonderful day in Chianti- Tuscany!
Wonderful experience! We had Sara who was an excellent guide and Christophe who was an amazing driver. Our guide was knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful! We went to two fantastic wineries and had the BEST lunch with the BEST view of Tuscany. The lunch place also has their own winery- which was a bonus. The food and the wine were fantastic! We loved everything and would highly recommend. It was an amazing experience and amazing day! I would do this again, 100%!
Fantastic Wine Tasting Excursion from Florence
I had a fantastic day on this tour. Sara, our guide, is a certified sommelier and was really helpful, knowledgeable and informative. The wine tasting was plentiful, the pours were generous, and the food was delicious. Overall. Exactly what I was looking for to have an enjoyable day excursion from Florence.
Sara was an incredible...
Sara was an incredible tour guide, who taught us a lot about the region and the wine. This is a highlight of our vacation that we'll remember forever! The tour bus was fun, and props to Christophe for getting us all there and back safely.
Tuscany with friends
Sarah and Christos were the perfect guides for our excursions to Tuscany. Learning about the beautiful wines and their history made the experience exceptionally good. New friends were made, Thank you.
Relaxing getaway
We did the half day evening tour which seemed about right. Staff and tour leader were very knowledgeable about the wines and the process of making them. The dinner on the outdoor terrace overlooking the vineyard was great way to end the evening!
