5.00This tour was amazing. Our guide Generva was the sweetest. Very knowledgeable of wines. The villa mansion we toured was absolutely beautiful! The owner was present as well. We tested 5 wines and had a nice spread. The second location was a family owned winery that included a delicious dinner. They have vegetarian options (I don’t eat pork). Definitely book this excursion!
Fun Safari

5.00This experience was awesome! Everything was convenient from the booking through the excursion. Our guide Ginerva was very friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly fun! The AC in the vehicle was much appreciated as it was a super hot day. The wineries we visited were amazing. We did the all day tour with lunch included, highly recommend that as well. The food was delicious as well as the wine. All in all a great experience. I couldn’t imagine trying to maneuver through Tuscany as a tourist without a guide. This was perfect!

5.00What a beautiful day! Sara (guide) and Christophe (driver) were exceptional. A lot of information about the region, breathtaking landscapes, the discovery of a superb vineyard. My partner and I loved everything! The vehicle allows for safe travel everywhere, in modern air-conditioned comfort. Definitely worth doing again!! A different activity in the peripheral region of Florence. A region rich in a vibrant history. Thank you, Sara.
