5 star tour with good wine and good company! - Excellent tour for our group of 5, even in the rain! This was probably the best tour we had in Florence. The van was clean and comfortable, we had wifi on board, and Frankie was a really warm and friendly guide! Although English is not his first language, he speaks it very well and was super engaging and easy to talk to. The visit to San Gimignano was great, and you have time to explore the area on your own. The two wineries were dreamy and just what you’d picture a Tuscan winery to be. Both winery hosts were very knowledgeable and we all learned a whole lot about the regional wines and wine making process. The lunch was VERY good at the first winery and the generous pours made the ride back even better. Worst part was that it had to end! Would recommend 10 times out of 10 to anyone with the time to spend in while in Florence. You definitely won’t be disappointed! Thanks, Frankie!

Highly Recommend (especially if you want to get away from the crowded tours) - Andréa, our driver, was amazing. He knew the area well, was extremely professional and so friendly! He surprised us at the end of our trip with a bottle of Prosecco that we enjoyed. The vineyard and chateau we went to were amazing, not crowded with other tourists. I would highly recommend this private (semi-private) tour. We had lunch at the Chateau which was incredible. Would highly recommend! (We were picked up in a luxury Mercedes van and dropped off at our hotel when we were done, the trip was so comfortable). Went into San Gimignano, rich in architecture and one of the best-preserved Italian medieval towns. One of the best days we had in Italy!

Great experience - Andrea did a great job with our wine tour. We loved the places we visited and the other group didn't show so we got a private tour. The weather was great when we visited San Gimignano and the shops we cute with all handmade Italian things. We learned a lot about wine in the chianti classico region and the different chianti regions.

Lovely Day in the Tuscan Countryside - We had a fantastic time on our tour. The pickup process was easy and straightforward. They provided us with ipads to point out cool spots to visit in San Gimignano which was very helpful. San Gimignano itself was gorgeous and such an interesting town to visit. The vineyards they chose were very nice and provided a lot of interesting history of the Chianti region. The food at both vineyards was also great. Definitely make sure you hydrate in warmer months. Our guide was also very friendly and shared facts about the region with us as well as some stories. There were two other couples in our group with us, so it wasn't a super full van and we had a lot of fun chatting with them. Highly recommend this tour!
