4.00The meeting point was well organised. Clear instructions were provided. Next guide met at connection. Very knowledgeable tour guide. A little more time to look around Florence would have been great. History and tour talk very indepth and long. Winery was great after long drive. Did not get to go out into the wine fields a picture may indicate. Out of bus into eating/tasting rooms. Sampled approx 8 different wines - Superb. Host was fantastic and very personable. Was very tight time wise to get back to train due to long drive and traffic.
Sarah was great, very...

5.00Sara was absolutely WONDERFUL. So knowledgeable and entertaining! We were traveling with our 80+ yo mom who had gotten sick a few days prior, and Sara helped us take care of her and meet her special needs for rest and breaks. She took great care of us all, and provided an unforgettable experience!!
10 stars!!

5.00This tour was perfect, just as we hoped. Very well coordinated and our tour guide, Antonio, was wonderful. We enjoyed the walking tours and the Fugnano winery we visited for lunch. Great food and wine, and welcoming hosts. Highly recommend the tour for a quick glimpse of Florence and Tuscany.

5.00Our guide Antonio was wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable and personable. Easy meet and greet in Rome and Florence with the train being the best way to go on a one day excursion. We had a rainy day but it didn’t dampen our spirits and ended with a clear sky overlooking the beautiful Tuscany landscape and the “Worlds Best” Gelato!. Wish there had been time to go inside the church in Florence.
Excellent experience!! ...
