I went with my mom and we had a great experience. She has a hard time walking and she was able to manage it well. The two wineries we went to were architecturally amazing! Both very different and very unique in their own way. The wine was delicious. The guide was great and provided us with lots of information on the area and the history of the vineyards and people that lived in the area.

Niccolo provided us with an amazing tour around Montalcino to incredible wineries. He was very knowledgeable of the history with Tuscan winemaking and spoke amazing English! We learned the history of the winemaking from both the beautiful wineries we went to and enjoyed an incredible 3 course lunch with wine. We highly recommend Niccolo and Alexandra’s services!

My husband and I hired Tours of Tuscany for a private day tour. From the initial email and communications to the day of the tour, Tours of Tuscany was very professional, friendly and allowed us to customize our experience. Our guide, Niccolo, picked us up from our hotel and planned an itinerary just for us. He was very knowledgeable having grown up in the region and always pointed out interesting historical or cultural findings along our drive. We visited two excellent wineries and had a lovely walk around two hill towns. Everyone was very friendly, spoke perfect English and made us feel welcomed. We highly recommend!

Niccolò (tour operator) is a wonderful person, was very communicative and understanding of our needs. Enjoyed a nice day drinking wine and enjoying the Tuscan views. Pienza is a gem!

We absolutely adored this wine tour! Our drivers were the loveliest, the guides at each wineries were so kind, knowledgable and generous, and the wine was delicious. We were on the tour with just one other couple, and unfortunately they were terrible people (the man was so rude to the guides and constantly challenging them on their info - we watched the guides expertly navigate how totally inappropriate he was being. But you know, he had been on exactly ONE wine tour before so he was an expert himself HAHAHAH) and even the unpleasant Danish couple couldn't ruin our time on this wonderful tour.

My fiancé and I did the 8 hour wine tour which included trips to 3 wineries, lunch and a visit to Pienza. All of the staff were fantastic and we loved each of the wineries, we even shipped wine back home to the US. We love that it’s a smaller company started by husband and wife. We’re already planning on using this company again for our next trip! Highly recommend!!

This was an amazing Tuscan experience! We had Andrea as our tour guide/driver and he was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make this tour unforgettable!!!! The stops were very informative and delicious. Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this tour to ANYONE who visits Tuscany!!! BOOK IT!

We loved this tour. We visited 3 top wineries and were well looked after at each one, getting a personal winery tour and private tasting. One of the wineries is one of the top producers in Italy. We had lunch in an underground city cavern. The driver Andrea did a great job looking after us including stopping for an unscheduled coffee on the way. I highly recommend this one.

An excellent wine tour Six of us took the tour and the van provided more then enough space. Our driver was great, helpful, on time and attentive. The lunch at the second winery was hosted by the wine maker for the winery visited was by far the best experience we have had at any winery. Informative and fun. Brian and Susan from Canada
