1.00Would not recommend this to anyone solely based on the poor communication and poor behavior of Ciao Florence during the tour. Due to poor communication, half the group completely missed the first winery tasting. After the tour guide noticed and was approached by the group over the confusion and concern, tour guide proceeded to raise her voice, acting extremely defensive and dismissive, explaining the group size is too large for her to manage properly, explaining she works 5 days a week 12 hours a day and managing 50 people is impossible for her to properly mediate the group and do the job successfully. Never an acknowledgement of improper communication or apology and no offer for solution. The behavior was unprofessional and definitely ruined the entire experience to be treated that way. Never witnessed or experienced anything like it before.
