5.00Alex is an amazing tour guide for food, wine, Tuscany and Italy in general. He is passionate about wine's history, culture, etc and made the tour fun and informative. The 2 vineyards we visited were special and had variety of wines. Our family style lunch at Bagno Vignoni (small village well known for it's hot springs) was great to chat up with the tour group and get to know Alex (not to mention our pastas were fresh made and delicious!). Our short stop in Pienza was scenic and we tried pecorino cheese gelato, which was surprisingly yum! Would highly recommend Alex and this tour.

5.00We felt lucky at the beginning of the day that the weather was going to be nice. We knew we were lucky at the end of the day because Ginevra was the perfect guide for the perfect day. Knowledgeable, funny, friendly… everything we could have asked for out of a host. We’d do this again in a heartbeat!
