We had a great driver, and a great group. Scenery was the best for me. I thought the first winery was disorganized, didn’t know was having lunch etc. those of who did not order lunch the snack was terrible. Bout in all a good day.

The tuscan country side is amazing! It should be on every bucket list...Our guide David was great...it would be 5 stars but our pi kup point was changed without a text which led to a very stressful morning. But once we were able to get to the new point our day tour was wonderful.

As this tour was a small group, we found it friendly and we enjoyed lots of banter and laughs. The tour guide was informative and helpful.

The wine tasting at Poggio Ai Laghi was a very high-end experience. Great food, wine and information.

We loved going to San Gimignano and having free time there. The lunch at the winery was awesome!! The valleys were beautiful!

It was a terrific experience - a great day exploring parts of Tuscany with our driver and guide Ganti and four other co-travelers. The morning stop at St. Gimignano was enjoyable though a little long because we got there early. Lunch at the winery was the highlight of the day - a fabulous private room among the barrels and bottles with our own guide Bledard who gave us a terrific wine experience with wonderful Chiantis. The food was great too. Then, we visited another winery that showcased the Rosso and Brunello Montalcinos - walked down to the underground cellar which was very cool and then tasted wines with bread and olive oil and vinegar. Our last stop was the town of Montalcino - lovely fort and a nice brief visit before heading home. Our driver and guide was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The only drawback was the minivan - in the first one the a/c wasn’t working so we switched cars - the a/c was fine in the second one but the sliding door stopped functioning - the vans rattled a lot too - the company might be well advised to service their cars better or invest in new ones! Just a great way to see Tuscany - would highly recommend it - am sure the experience varies by driver/guide and by location visited - for us both were outstanding!

A well planned tour. We arrived San Gimignano before the crowds, then a very nice wine tasting lunch at a Chianti winery, followed by 2nd wine tasting at a secluded Montalcino winery, and finally strolling in Montalcino old town before the sunset with beautiful Tuscany scenery along the way-a truly enjoyable and memorable day. Special thanks to our guide Genty who is friendly and an amazing problem solver. Highly recommend this tour!

We were very disappointed. The full-day tour was cancelled for low attendance. We were offer a very low partial refund for one less winery and no lunch. Replacement sent us to two wineries with very small tasting amounts and no food. Staff seemed preoccupied, so all the participants just chatted. Montalcino was basically closed -we were taken there during afternoon siesta time. All the tour participants were starving and thirsty. Would have been happier if tour was just cancelled.

Hello, First the tour operator cancelled the tour just before the tour date. We went to Montalcino instead of this tour due to the technical problems. Montalcino tour was not well organized unfortunately. We visited 2 wineries for wine tasting however we only drank 1 glass wine in total. And the appretives were very poor. Only bread and olive oil were served. Additionaly, we were left in Montalcino village during siesta time and we could not visit any market or taste or drink coffee. We just could walk its street under the rain.

We are three Australians who enjoy wine and food experiences. The full day tour met all of our expectations, plus more. The tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and recognised our goals for the trip and ensured they were met. His commentary on the history, people, good and wine heritage and offerings were comprehensive and interesting. No question was too challenging for him. The wineries visited (Chianti - Casale Dello Sparviero and Montalcino - Podere Le Ripi) offered excellent ranges of wines to taste and good. The staff were enthusiastic and looked after us. The villages we visited along the way were fascinating and the guide provided insights and directions on where to go and what to look out for. A great day - very memorable which was enhanced by our guide.
