5.00Sara was our guide (and Igor was our driver). They were wonderful! Sara was so knowledgeable, warm, genuine, funny, and just an all around amazing guide. We were a family of two parents and our three young adult kids. Pick up was at 9:00am and drop off was at 5:30pm. Highly recommend this all day tour with guide Sara.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Wine Tour!

5.00WeI had the most amazing time on this wine tour! The vineyards were beautiful and the experience itself was so much fun, but what truly made it unforgettable was our guide, Sara. She was absolutely phenomenal—so knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely hilarious. Sara had the perfect balance of expertise and personality. She explained everything in such an interesting way, answered every question with ease, and kept us laughing. Her energy made the whole tour feel special, and I can honestly say she turned a great experience into an exceptional one. She even helped practice my Italian! I would 100% come back and book this tour again specifically if Sara were the guide. She’s that good! Highly recommend this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to get Sara, you’re in for an amazing day.
Alex was the best!

5.00Super fun wine tour of 3 wineries with tours of the property. Great tastings and all wineries and incredible lunch at second winery. Our guide Fabio was hilarious and very knowledgeable as a level III sommelier. He made the trip and our driver Labi was great as well. We live near Napa and do plenty of wine tours but this was still special!!!
Amazing wine tour!!

5.00Ginny was the perfect tour guide for the Tuscan countryside, her dry wit and knowledge about the wine and wine making process really made the tour feel special. Egor got us there safely in that behemoth of a vehicle on some pretty narrow roads. Great way to spend a day!
Best Tour Ever

5.00Genevra was incredible! As a sommelier, she truly knows her stuff and shared so many fascinating insights about Tuscan wines. Her goal was not only to teach us a few things, but also to make sure we had an amazing time—and we absolutely did! We visited three wineries in total, each more stunning than the last. The second winery was perhaps my favorite. It was atop a large hill with stunning views of the Tuscan countryside where we enjoyed a blind olive oil tasting and the best Italian family style meal with the best view. The entire experience was unforgettable. Genevra and our driver, Igor, were both fantastic!
Absolutely loved this tour!

5.00The absolute best experience! Our tour guide ,Genie, (sorry if the spelling is wrong) and driver, Igor, were extremely kind, fun, and made the entire day run incredibly smooth. We loved the small group aspect as it felt super personal and you didn’t feel lost in the crowd. The safari bus was very fun and super unique! The views when driving were breathtakingly beautiful and you get to see the gorgeous country side of Florence. My favorite part about the tour was the fact you spend more time at the vineyards than you do on the bus. You are only on the bus for about 30-40 mins at a time and you spend at least an hour at each vineyard, except for lunch where we spent at least an hour and a half. Overall, I could not recommend this tour enough! Do yourself a favor and book this tour!
