Fantastic Tour

5.00If we could give more than five stars, we would. Allesandro, the guide, and Christophe, the driver, were both terrific. Allesandro was extremely knowledgable about wine making, about the region we were visiting, was very nice and respectful. Christophe was a gentleman, and very importantly, a safe driver. We highly recommend this tour. It was a terrific experience.
Wine Safari will not disappoint

5.00My family of six ranging in ages of 21-57 loved this tour. Our tour guide Ado was fantastic! He was friendly and very knowledgeable about Tuscany and the wines of the region. We started off at a beautiful winery at a Tuscan villa where we saw the grapes, toured the grounds, wine cellar and one room in the villa and had a delicious wine tasting with 5 different wines and crackers and cheeses. Matteo worked at the winery and gave a great presentation. Next, we took an off road drive to a restaurant at a winery where we had a delicious dinner and three more wines. We ate dinner during the golden hour and had the opportunity to take pictures with the beautiful winery as our back drop. This trip will not disappoint! Thanks to Ado and Matteo!!!
If you love wine you’ll love this tour!

Wine tastings with cheese and olive oils were wonderful. Lunch was excellent! Scenery also amazing. Highly recommend this trip it was all that we expected and more,

5.00Sara and Fabio hosted a fantastic tour of the countryside. Sara’s knowledge was superb from historical information to wine expertise. Sara’s command of English was appreciated as I learned even more about Tuscan culture than I expected. The highlight was Tenuta Casenuove. Delicious wine and expert wine knowledge passed along by Fabio (second Fabio!). This wasn’t just a wine tasting it was a wine, food and culture education. Thank you.

5.00Our guide Sara and driver Fabio were absolutely wonderful and welcoming. They took us to 3 beautiful locations in the Tuscany's Chianti Classico region to sample multiple different wines at each, along with included food pairings. The included lunch was delicious and the setting was hard to beat. You don't have to be well-versed in wine to enjoy this tour. Highly recommended

5.00Christoff and Alessandro were great. They took us on a bus through the Tuscan hills to a winery in the Chianti classico region. Alessandro explained the history of the region and the grapes very well. After the winery they took us to a restaurant in the area with a great view of all the wineries. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to a do wine tour while in Florence.
