What a wonderful day we had! Faris picked us up at our Hotel (the Albergo del Chianti in Greve in Chianti) and he took us to two towns —Castellina in Chianti and San Donato and then to two wineries. Faris did an awesome job driving through the countryside and touring us around
Faris gave us guided tours with in-depth knowledge of all the details/history of these two Chianti towns. He also selected two absolutely amazing wineries — Poggio Amorelli and Luiano. We had extensive tours along with food and wine that was fantastic at both. The van we rode I was clean and comfortable
We highly recommend HAPPY IN CHIANTI as your Tour of choice when Chianti!

My husband and I booked this tour for our honeymoon and it was to date one of the best days of our lives. We absolutely loved everything about the tour. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable/relaxing way to see the Tuscan countryside. I couldn't imagine a more perfect way really. The van is very new, clean, and feels safe. I debated doing vespas but this way, we didnt have to worry about drinking at the winery AND dealing with navigating the small roads of the countryside on moped we were not familiar with driving.
The tour guide was extremely kind/knowledgeable and even offered to take pictures of us in some of the stunning towns we had the pleasure to experience. The views from the van were breathtaking as well- almost too beautiful to believe.
The winery was so lovely. I am a bit of a wino and loved everything they had on the sampling menu (which was extensive- about 7 wines i think? and olive oil/vinegar tastings as well) was wonderful. Plus, the food was some of the best we had on the trip with an amazing view from your table on the rooftop of the complex. I would recommend the mushroom pasta if they have it- I still get hungry when I think about it. The lunch itself could go for the cost of the trip.
Moral of the story, book this now if you are looking for a phenomenal way to experience Tuscany! It was well worth the day during your trip to the spectacular city of Florence. (even if you only have 2 as in our case :)

My husband and I spent a day with Firas, visiting San Gimignano, Castellina and a vineyard with wine-tasting and lunch. We were the only people on the tour that day and felt so well looked after! Firas gave us lots of interesting information and we had even more time than we were expecting to have. The cost of the tour seemed pricey initially, but was well worth it with how much we saw and did and how much food and wine we got at lunch!
It was also great to take photos of the beautiful landscape from the open-sided bus.
A really good tour and our best day in Tuscany- highly recommended!

We had the most surprising and wonderful tour. We traveled from Greve to San Gimignano and Castellini finishing up with lunch and wine tasting. I enjoyed the opportunity to self discover after an initial orientation tour. It was great having both guidance and free time. Our lunch was special too with a selection of cold meats, bruschetta and cheeses and then a pasta dish and small dessert to finish. The food was accompanied by lovely wines. This tour was special, small and personalised. Would highly recommend.

Loved our driver. He tailored the trip to see what we wanted to see and added some extras. Had a great time.
I would recommend this trip to see Tuscany up close and taste some good wine.
