Traveler reviews
Amazing Tuscany tour! Great views and even better wine!
We had such a fantastic day exploring the beautiful Tuscan countryside for less than £80! The views were absolutely stunning, and the whole day was really well planned. There were no overcrowded streets and no one trying to usher you into restaurants with over priced mediocre food. We visited some gorgeous places, including the Gladiator filming site, which was definitely one of the highlights for us. Our guide, Antonio, was brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole day really enjoyable and fun. His English was perfect, and he made it so easy for everyone to understand the history, where to meet and at what time. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time at each stop to take photos, explore, eat lunch and really enjoy the beautiful scenery and stunning towns. We also loved the Brunello wine tasting and learning about the history behind the wines. It was fascinating to hear about the amazing history and traditions that have been passed down through generations. It made the wine tasting experience even more special! The wine and cheese tasting was also lovely, amazing wines, great cheese and within a gorgeous location inside of the cellar. (With the chance to purchase the wine after both tastings.) Overall it was a perfect way to experience so much of Tuscany without feeling like we were constantly rushing from place to place. A truly memorable day with stunning views, amazing wine and food, fascinating history and a fantastic guide. Thank you, Antonio, for making the day so special! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence!
A Well-Organized Tour
The tour was reasonably priced and good value for the experience. Antonio was friendly and helpful throughout the trip. He and Cosimo, our driver, took us to some nice spots for photos. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend the tour.
Amazing day in Tuscany
The experience in Tuscany was amazing! For price, and time, it was definitely worth it. Two wine tastings, 2 hours per city (3 of them), we had lots of fun. Toni was also very helpful and the driver made sure to make quick stops for pictures of the scenery.
Aug 24 Tour — Great day!
Antonio was a fantastic guide we enjoyed the wine experiences in Montepulciano and Montalcino. There was the perfect amount of time to explore each of the three cities, and the bus was comfortable between stops.
Val d’orca review
A lot of value to unpack in this one day trip especially if you are a wine lover! We were able to meet with the owner of a vineyard that was unexpected surprise. Antonio was easy to work with and guided us throughout the trip.
