This excursion was well worth the time and money spent. Such beautiful countryside with rolling hills some topped with castles and the wineries and meal were phenomenal. We also cannot say enough about Morad, our guide. He knew so much about everything we spotted including those things that probably were not part of his planned agenda. Would definitely do this again, if not this exact tour, then one of the tours offered by his company. Gracie Mille, Morad.

Morad, our guide, was excellent. Impeccable English. Very knowledgeable about Florence, Tuscany and wines made in Tuscany! I highly recommend this tour. My hubby, me and 2 others from Melbourne Australia. Details about the days itinerary along the way. Montalcino was our first stop. Lovely views along the way. Next stop Montepulciano and Innocent Winery for tasting and lunch. Fabrizio was our guide at the winery. Incredible views of Tuscany from the winery. We learned so much and we thought we were experts before. Lunch was incredible. Home made breasticks, 2 different pecorinos, salami, grilled vegetables, olives, bruschetta, olive oil & homemade plum pastry. More than 4 of us could eat. The wine was fabulous. Then onto our 2nd tasting at Cantina Crociana with Roberta. A real cave/cellar and good wine with salami & pecorino. More information on the drive back to Firenze. This was the best tour we have had in Italy. It’s a must! Thank you Morad!

We had a good time at the wineries. It was a charming experience, with generous tasting, and a great lunch was provided. Morad was a lovely and friendly guide, very easy to talk to.

It was a wonderful day from start to finish. We learned so much about the region and the history of the medieval towns. The visits to the wineries was amazing, we were fed well and tasted some amazing wines. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable ,and entertaining . We added Penza to the tour since we were staying in Montalcino, what a treat!

Great trip and wonderful guide! Morad was incredibly knowledgeable of the history and area which we enjoyed. The visit to a family vineyard in Montecino was incredible with a lovely Tuscan lunch.

Marjorie_H

Moro was the most wonderful and informative guide! He is a wealth of knowledge on both wine and history. The vineyards were beautiful and there were no crowds. We definitely had the personal experience. Our lunch was so very good! This has been the best tour I have ever had.

This trip was incredible! Our guide Morad was so welcoming and friendly. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and youncould tell he loved his job. We travelled a lot of distance but it was so comfortable in the 7 seater that it didn't feel like it at all! The choice of lunch at Innocenti winery was the highlight of the day. The views were outstanding; the sommelier was very knowledgeable and we had to buy their olive oil that had been pressed the day before because it was divine! (wine would have also been purchased had we the luggage space 😆) The medieval towns were marvellous to walk around and weren't busy or overrun like some of the other towns in Tuscany. This tour is for people who want something a little different to the normal tourist treks. If you want stunning views of the Tuscan countryside as well as a well organised and friendly tour then this is for you.

The VIP Wine tour to Montepulciano and Montalcino was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Our tour guide, Morad, was unbelievable in his knowledge and friendliness. What a wonderful person to spend the beautiful day driving with to Tuscany from Florence. After so many people and crowds in Rome and Florence, it was the perfect day to relax and enjoy wonderful wine and scenery. 5 Stars!!!

Keith_S

Our trip to Tuscany turned out to be a private lunch and tasting at an excellent winery named Innocenti winery. Our driver Norad was extremely qualified, knowledgeable and was able to turn on a dime. Highly recommended!

Rhonda P

Morad was an excellent tour guide- knowledgeable and friendly. He has extensive knowledge of the region. The two towns we visited were beautiful. We had lunch and a wine tasting at a small family winery chosen by Morad and the sommelier there, Patricia, was excellent whilst the food ( freshly made by the owner) and wine were delicious.
