5.00We weren’t sure what to expect with this tour, but it was (by far) the best activity we did during our Italy trip! The bus and the ride to the wineries and dinner were so fun, Giancarlo gave great history and information, and you really get an opportunity to bond with others on the tour! Couldn’t recommend booking this tour enough - you’ll have a blast! Thank you again, Giancarlo!!!
Great Day Trip!

5.00Wow!! You gotta do this! What a wonderful day in Tuscany Hillside! Emma as our tour guide and her driver were fantastic! I got a little bumpy in the ride but where we went was so worth it! The villa and the wineries were just top-notch! The views were stunning and the wines were so amazing! The restaurant food was a 10 out of 10 and I will dream about that ricotta and truffle ravioli! Our group was great and it was such a wonderful day wine tasting and seeing the beauty of Tuscany and taking a break from the city! Thank you so much for a memorable day!
Perfect day in the Chianti Region!
