Gabriel was a fantastic guide! He made the wine tasting approachable and informative. The rolling Tuscan hills were beautiful —very easy to enjoy from an air conditioned seat. While the vehicle used for the tour can look a little intense/ostentatious initially, it really is necessary to traverse the back roads. I would recommend this tour for anyone staying in the heart of Florence that wants a convenient and fun day trip into the countryside.
Absolutely a spectacular experience

Exceptional tour! Ado was fantastic and provided an outstanding overview of Florence, the vineyards, and of course, the WINE. It was great to be in a smaller group and the 4X4 made it even more fun. Finally, the lunch was probably one of our best meals during our entire trip. Thanks for a great experience - highly recommended!

Excellent tour through Tuscany, truly unforgettable. Sara, our guide, was very attentive, kind, and professional, always making sure everyone felt comfortable and well informed. The views of Tuscany are absolutely stunning, the transportation was very comfortable, and everything was perfectly organized. At the winery, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were very knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to explain every detail. The food was exquisite and the wines were delicious. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated that they prepared a separate vegetarian menu for me, which was absolutely delicious and very thoughtfully done. I would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tuscany.
