Itinerary
Prepare for a truly enchanting day, where your dreams come to life! Your private driver will collect you directly from your accommodation in a luxurious Mercedes vehicle, ensuring your complete comfort and ease. As you leave the bustling streets of Florence behind, you’ll be transported into the heart of Chianti — a region renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, charming villages, and pure, fresh air. Sit back, relax, and let Tuscany unveil its magic as you travel through its rolling hills.
One of the greatest pleasures of a private tour is the freedom to stop and linger wherever your heart desires! Just let your driver know, and they’ll be delighted to pause for you to capture that perfect photo — whether it’s a charming hamlet, a majestic castle, or the rolling hills glimmering in the Tuscan sunlight. Make the most of your time in the renowned Chianti wine region with a local wine tasting experience! Reserve your own winery in advance, or let us handle all the details for you. If you choose to add the optional wine tasting to your itinerary, your driver will bring you to a charming wine estate, where a passionate local producer will unveil the stories, traditions, and secrets that define this extraordinary red wine. Afterward, sit back and indulge in a truly memorable Chianti Classico tasting, perfectly accompanied by a selection of fresh, regional delights. Cheers!
Your driver will bring you to the charming town of Greve in Chianti — a hidden gem that beautifully encapsulates the magic of the Chianti wine region. This enchanting hamlet looks as though it’s been plucked straight from a fairytale, with its cobblestone streets, charming houses, and romantic atmosphere. Stroll through its picturesque alleyways until you reach the heart of the town. Explore its artisan boutiques, local restaurants, and wine bars, where you can truly experience warm Italian hospitality. Soak up the small-town ambiance at your own pace, and when you’re ready, your driver will be there to continue your wonderful Chianti adventure.
After a magical day filled with breathtaking views, charming villages, and rich flavors amid the rolling hills of Chianti, your private driver will be waiting to whisk you back to Florence in complete comfort and style. Relax and reflect on the wonderful memories you’ve made — from the stories of the winemakers to the hidden corners of medieval streets — as you enjoy a smooth ride back to your accommodation, letting the magic of Tuscany linger just a little bit longer.

Traveler reviews
Wine tasting at family owned winery and San Gimignano
Our tour guide and driver, Cristian, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. He took us to the family owned and operated Corbucci winery, where we had a wonderful wine tasting with the lively Francesco. We then headed to the cool medieval town of San Gimignano where we climbed the bell tower for an amazing view of the countryside.
Wonderful tour!
Our guide (Christian) was fun and knowledgeable. We had a private tour with our family of five to two different wineries. Both places were passionate about their wines. We had a great day with amazing views!
Placedo is a Great Driver/Guide
We booked a 1/2 day private visit of the Chianti region through Viator. Placedo is an excellent guide! He greeted us promptly at our hotel at our designated pick up time and from that moment on our experience was 5 stars. Placedo is very friendly and his intimate and extensive knowledge of the area were amazing. We have never been to Florence or Chianti so he explained things as we passed, gave us excellent tips for our stay and took us to a quaint but beautiful family owned winery (Corbucci) where we were treated with special attention. We wish we had the whole day with Placedo! 4 hours was not enough time to enjoy all that he could have shared with us. Next time we will ask for him specifically and spend the entire day with him as our guide. Well done Ciao Florence! Placedo is excellent and we highly recommend him!

Absolutely a must!!
We had a fabulous day with Cristian Nuti! He was absolutely amazing . Very knowledgeable about wines and took the experience to another level. Once he knew we were from the US he stopped at the American world War II memorial cemetery. We had some time before heading back to our hotel and he stop near the city center which had a beautiful view, so we were able to get some great photos. If you take a tour, I would highly recommend that you book with them and request Cristian you will not be disappointed.
