Traveler reviews
A birthday to remember forever
This tour was the highlight of our 11 day trip to Italy. I can not say enough to express what an amazing day we had. We did the all day tour and we are so glad we did. Our guide Sara was incredible. So knowledgeable but made wine easy to understand. She is also hilarious. The area is so beautiful. We were there on my birthday and I literally had tears in my eyes from the beauty of the area and these wineries. Everyone was so kind and informative. The food, wine, and presentations were everything you could ever dream for. What an amazing day and one that I will never forget. Thank you for this incredible experience!
Best Day in Tuscany!
We had such a pleasant day with Gaia and friends tasting wine and learning so much on the Chianti Region. All communication was top notch. Sergio, our driver did a great job as well! Highly recommend this excursion!
Exhausting and over crowded
Was not what I was expecting or advertised. Small Van in picture was not what picked us up and it was not a small group. Plan at least a half mile walk from meeting place to massive bus. You will need to do this walk again at end of very long day. The wineries they took us to were beautiful and the dinner was very good. Would not have booked if I know we would be on a large bus and on tour with at least 50 people.
Safari wine tour
It was a very pleasant experience. Out guide Tony was very personable, knowledgeable and very accommodating.
Fun wine tour
The host Tony was great- he was knowledgeable and fun. The wines were good and the Chianti region is beautiful. Topped off with a great dinner in a vineyard.
