Full description

Wine lovers, this trip into Tuscany from Florence is designed just for you. You’ll leave the city behind and head to the Chianti region, known around the world for its red wines. 

You’ll be picked up from the meeting point in Florence and driven to Tuscany and the Chianti region. Your first stop is the Medieval village of Greve. Then, you’ll head to Montefioralle, which has been perfectly preserved since the 12th century. Chianti Classico, one of the most iconic Italian red wines, has a black rooster on its label – you’ll hear the backstory for this during your time in Montefioralle.

From here, you’ll head to a family-run wine estate for lunch and a wine-tasting session. The cellars have been around since Medieval times, and they use oak barrels to do a lot of their aging. You can expect Italian classics prepped with ingredients grown on the property. You’ll have three different Chiantis to sample. This region is also known for its olive oil, so you can try some of that, too.

The Gondola ride is described as "off the beaten track." The reality is you do one loop of a canal and then back to the start. We had very much looked forward to this first ever gondola ride and were hoping for the best experience. This unfortunately was not the experience we received. Instead of a serene trip across the water, we experienced bigger boats making the water very choppy. The experience is not cheap and I would strongly recommend that you visit one of the many gondoliers on many canals as they only charge 90 euros for 30 minutes as opposed to the £130+ we were charged for about 25 minutes.. Would not recommend this event and next time I am in Venice I will choose the canal side gondolier approach.

A positive experience overall. I feel like I was shown all that there is to see and there is a lot to see at this beautiful, huge palace and its gardens.

This tour was excellent from start to finish. Even before the start, communication with the company was excellent. As someone, who doesn’t quite understand the art, I thought a guided tour would be best and it didn’t disappoint. Our guide explained everything extremely well and made sure we weren’t overloaded with information. Also, being with a group means you have a dedicated line to join at the Uffizi. Advice for future travellers: you will be quite tired after this tour. I made the error of including a Pitti and Boboli ticket with my purchase and underestimated how tired I would be and overestimated how much I could do in a day. This was my last day in Florence and I just couldn’t manage to do the rest. However, if you do get it included, it is definitely worth the value and it’s valid for 5 days from the day of your museum tour.
