5.00The tour was amazing. We got to see the beauty of Florence with an experienced guide. We were even able to shop in an authentic leather boutique. Our travel to Tuscany and the winery was fantastic. Highly recommend. It is a long day and you will get your money’s worth.
Picturebook experience in Florence and Tuscany

5.00Amazing overall experience. The day was excellent from start to finish with attentive staff and tour guides. We had used the high-speed rail earlier in our trip so we were familiar with the boarding and car layouts, but this was a fun way to get to our location with ease. Our tour guide Jessica was extremely attentive and highlighted the history and art of Florence to frame the day. There was adequate time for individual exploration, but probably not enough time if you wanted to do a full museum tour in Florence. Consider it a rapid tasting menu! The trip to the Tuscan countryside complete with a fantastic, tailored meal and tour of the winery was unbelievable. It did not feel like real life. We were fortunate to have excellent guests for our excursion. San Gimignano was very quaint. Despite not having this on my Italy bucket list, it was well worth it. Transfers were efficient in clean air-conditioned luxury Mercedes vans. Would highly recommend as you cannot really appreciate the scope and scale of Tuscany without going.
Great tour of Florence and Tuscany

5.00This was an extremely enjoyable experience. From the facility of the pickup, considering the high speed train, to the information given to us, the tour was well worth the price. The winery tour was also a nice touch of a Tuscany winery incorporated in the tour as well as the San Gimignano visit. Our guide Jessica was as knowledgeable as passionate about Florence’s history and art around the city. Overall a great experience.
Beautiful walking tour of Florence with a retreat to the countryside of Tuscany

5.00Jessica was a 5 star tour guide with thorough knowledge of the history of Florence, especially the art and architecture in Florence. This tour had a nice balanced itinerary, starting the day off with a brief walking tour of Florence before traveling to the countryside of Tuscany. The family-run winery was stunning and our host Andrea made our time so fun. The medieval town was a nice way to end the day, with award winning gelato and rustic feel. It is a somewhat long day but 100% worth it and having a touch point in the train stations to get you directed on and off en route to and from Florence to Rome really made the day stress-free.
Best mix of culture, food and relaxation

5.00Walking the city of Florence was a great introduction. The tour of the winery, Fatoria di Fugnano, San Gimignano, was informative and included a delicious 3 course meal while enjoying tasting many wines. We were also given an hour to explore the city and it’s shops on our own.
Great way to get a feel for Tuscany
