Traveler reviews
Afternoon wine tasting in Chianti
The experience was wonderful, the places were beautiful. The guide, Antonio, was always attentive to provide the tour instructions in both English and Spanish. Although the tour is advertised in Spanish, most of the wineries we visited conducted their tours in English, which is not complex to understand, and in case of any doubts, you can ask the relevant questions. The guide was always nearby to answer our questions in Spanish and translate for us if necessary. For wine lovers, it is 100% recommended.
Exceeding expectations
Was a perfect way to see Tuscany, taste wine, make friends, and have a delicious meal! (I’m stuffed)
Lovely stuff
Great experience we had lovely wine, the family business so good in explaining everything
Dinner at the vineyard.
I figured we should have arrived at the winery, I think it would have been more interesting. The dessert left nothing to be desired but the rest of the dinner was delicious. The guide Julia and the driver Ricardo are pretty cool.
Beautiful visit to Siena with winery
Had a nice time on the Chianti wine tour with trip to Sienna! Sebastian was a great tour guide, very informative and interesting. Roberto was an excellent driver. The trip to Siena was nice if you only have limited time as it just gives you a taste of the beauty of Siena. I do wish we would have had more time, but I knew booking the trip it was minimal. The winery was very nice. Wine delicious and the food was fantastic. My husband has food allergies and we are vegetarian. The winery was very accommodating to our needs and the food was plenty and delicious. The tour company verified our request and Sebastian also confirmed with each passenger on the bus to see if there were food allergies. We met some really great people over dinner as well. Great tour!
