We were only expecting a wine tasting. But found that we had a guided tour of Montepulciano, a charming city, by a charming guide. So much to learn. A wonderful experience.

Chiara was amazing and really opened up the city for us. We saw a lot more than expected and hearing about the history of the city was really enjoyable. The wine cellar and wine tasting was a great end to the tour. Chiara is very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend this tour.

Chiara was absolutely amazing. So hospitable and welcoming. We hit it off right away. She is a wealth of knowledge and knew everyone in town so it felt like we were celebrities! She takes you to the coolest wine cellar and tasting room in town. Loved learning about the history and walking the whole town with her at a great pace!

Chiara was our personal guide in Montepulciano and she was by far the best guide we had on our 8 day trip through Tuscany. From the spectacular views from the city walls overlooking the valleys of Val D’Orcia, to the historical and artistic sites of the city of Montepulciano, Chiara was very knowledgeable and personable. The highlight of the visit was the tour of the ancient wine caves beneath the Cantina Ercolani and the wine tasting in their beautiful shop above it. We were impressed by quality of the the wine and their knowledgeable staff and we had several bottles along with a bottle of balsamic vinegar shipped home. I would highly recommend Chiara for any tour in the Sienna region of Tuscany.

Had a lovely couple of hours with Chiana. She's a real local with great info about the history, geography, local customs and language. Super friendly, accommodating, excellent English. Immediately recommended her to a friend coming here soon.

Chiara was super professional and gave us a gem of a tour of Montepulciano. Very friendly and knowledgeable, Chiara knew her history very well and surrounding areas. We learned a ton of history about Montepulciano that we never would have known without guide. 100% must book a guide for a short tour of the city. You will not be disappointed.

Our family of 12, adult children and grandchildren, took a tour of the town of Montepulciano, Italy. Chiara Fanti was a wonderful guide who told and showed us so much about the town that you can only get with a great guide. Her walking tour included locations in the town which we had not explored. The tour was capped off with a wonderful wine tasting. Our entire family was very pleased with Chiara's tour. Stephen Stoll
