Splendid Tuscan Tour

5.00We had a wonderful time sightseeing in Florence, visiting a working vineyard in the Tuscan countryside with a delicious wine tasting, and seeing the medieval town of San Gimigniano. Jessica was a fantastic guide, providing lots of information and answering all of our questions! We traveled with a 16 month old and had a great time. We would highly recommend for families, couples, or solo travelers.

5.00We booked a day trip to Florence from Rome and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Our guide was phenomenal—she’s a local from Florence and her knowledge, passion, and storytelling made the entire day unforgettable. She shared so much history and insight that we never would have discovered on our own. The tour also included lunch and a wine tasting in Tuscany, and both were outstanding. The food was abundant and delicious, and the wine experience was truly five‑star. I had the best Chianti I’ve ever tasted. I traveled with my mom and sister, and this day ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Italy!
Great experience!

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.
