5.00Anna was delightful! She was very informative and entertaining. Honestly, I could listen to her talk all day. The tour was perfect, with lots of interesting stops and a few surprises. The lunch was delicious, and the nobile wine (actually the entire reason I booked this trip) lived up to its legendary status. Cecilia, at the farm, nearly moved me to tears with the beautiful story of her family's tradition. What a lovely thing to experience!!! Our driver was phenomenal as well, taking great care on those tricky Tuscan roads! I'm prone to motion sickness, but with the help of dramamine and Julio, I never once felt sick. Ten out of ten recommend this trip!!!!

3.00This tour is extremely historical and absolutely beautiful, but it was difficult to enjoy the full experience due to the weather during July. It was extremely hot outside, and we were walking up and down hills during the middle of the day in July. I would not have minded, except we were navigating cars as we were exploring the city of Montepulciano. I was really looking forward to cool down while we eat at the restaurant, but instead we were sat in an open dining room with no air flow to drink wine, and it was extremely uncomfortable. I was hoping for a fan of sorts, but there was nothing, and we were all sat very close to one another. The food was amazing, but it was difficult to enjoy the wine in the scorching heat. The view were immaculate and the tour was overall pretty good, but it was hard to stay on track and enjoy with the heat.
Wonderful!
