Truly the best day of our Honeymoon. Yaris was a pleasure. Very intelligent and friendly, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
We had a nice tour of the Ligurian coast with this company and thought they'd be good to go with a second time. We had a much worse tour with a different guide but the same company the next day. Our 'tour guide' was really just a driver, he barely spoke to us, and didn't seem to speak much English anyway. He also drove slow, we were late and missed our second wine tasting out of two. He didn't seem to know our schedule and we seemed to spend more time driving than anything else. Also they made us pay extra at the end of the day for that privilege, demanding 70 euro cash when we got out. DO NOT make the mistake of dealing with this company. If you have to deal with this company, try not to get stuck with Giovanni.
Dear Client, Thank you for your feedback and I start with saying that I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the Cinque Terre Private tour. In regards to the tour for which you’ve expressed your disappointmet, I must say that I personally worked with your agent on building this itinerary but my proposal included at the beginning a wine tasting within a castle resort where you would have also had your tasting lunch and sightseeing, with time for quick dinner, if required in a town like monteriggioni on the way back to Florence. The tour has been planned to last about 12 hrs starting at 10am. We went back and forth with the planning as apparently you wanted to include two wine tastings, then choose to have lunch not at the castle resort but in a restaurant in Montalcino and wanted to add a wine tasting and also dinner on the way back to Florence in a winery in the Chianti. My error, I admit, was to accept this type of tour de force with too many scheduled events during the day. The day started with a little delay as not all of you were ready for pick up at the stated time and as that day it was also raining , delays have built up during the day – Giovanni, whose english is not perfect but he’s lived in United states and has an american wife, does speak english. He’s not a guide but a driver that can deliver general information on the area. His “ mistake” has been probably not to be too forceful in saying that due to the delay built up ( time spent in Montalcino restaurant – about 2 hrs ), at that point you had to choose if to go to Pienza and skip the second winery or viceversa, he tried to accomplish all program as one of the participants really wanted to go to Pienza. Bottom line, also dinner has been included but of course the second wine tasting was not for the reasons above explained. Giovanni reported that all participants were Ok in skipping the dinner has they had a big lunch, except from one person that wanted to have dinner as well. The tour was meant to finish back to Florence at 10pm, but in fact the arrival in florence was not earlier than 11.15pm . That’s why it was asked a little fee ( 10 € per person ) to cover Giovanni extra time. The long explanation was necessary. Of course bottom line is that I’m very sorry you did not enjoy the tour and I’d like to understand if all 7 people had the same point of view as Giovanni received also a tip at the end of the day. I take on my responsibility for this Day ( I should have been more forceful in saying what was feasable and what not ) and I hope you will give Avventure Bellissime another chance if you come back to Italy. Kind Regards Monica
My husband and I had the best private tour of Tuscany eating amazing cheese and tasting incredible wine! Our guide Jonathan was enthusiastic and great company while we drove through beautiful towns in Tuscany! He was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging while showing us around the beautiful landscapes. We are very happy with this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a wonderful day learning about the architecture of the towns in Tuscany and about winemaking!! Thank you so very much Jonathan!
Yaris, our guide, was superb. Friendly, fun, knowledgeable and helpful. Views of Tuscany breathtaking. Towns views were Pienza and Monticello which were picture postcard pretty
This was an excellent tour of the southern Tuscany region. Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino. The winery lunch and conversation was the best I’ve ever had.
I cannot recommend this tour enough! We booked through Avventure Bellissime, and everything went off without a hitch. Our driver and guide, Giacomo, was charming, pleasant and very knowledgeable about everything on the tour. He picked us up promptly at the assigned spot in Florence and off we went. He explained a lot about Florence on our way out of town and answered our numerous questions about the area on our drive. Montepulciano was gorgeous and fun to explore. Our first stop was the Contucci winery, where we encountered a real character named Adamo, who has worked there for about 60 years! Then we met Ilaria, who conducted our wine tasting with aplomb. We ended up buying six bottles of the fabulous wine! I highly recommend this winery. Afterward, as we were walking into town, we met another elderly local character, who invited us in to see his copper workshop (Mazzetti). What a treat! Our next stop was Pienza, where we found beautiful views and loads of history. Lastly, Montalcino, my favorite stop. We were seated at a table on the lawn under a huge tree and served a simple and fantastic lunch with various wines included. Our hostess, Angelica, was terrific. The food was outstanding, and the view was incredible. It was the most memorable experience of our trip to Italy! I highly, highly recommend this tour. If you are lucky, you will have Giacomo as a guide!
Dear Britt Thank you kindly for your positive review of our Small group wine tour from Florence - I have already forwarded your comments to Giacomo and it is truly a pleasure that this tour was memorable and the highlight of your Italian vacation. If you have any pics from the trip you are welcome to share on our Facebook page. Thank you for choosing Avventure Bellissime! Kind regards, Aleksandra Sales Dept
A couple of weeks ago, we were scheduled to take this tour in a small group. A couple weeks before the trip, we were notified that not enough people had signed up and were offered the options to cancel, book another one of their trips that day, or pay an additional amount to make it a private tour. We chose the third option. It was expensive, but we had a great day. Our tour guide, Jonathan, was very knowledgeable about the area and provided terrific background history. He also let me have a bit of time to wander the shops, which was fantastic. We had delicious wine and a light lunch and saw some charming villages. The itinerary of the trip is perfect and we would book one of their tours again next time we visit Florence.
Dear Cheryl Thank you so much for your positive feedback about your private tour with Gionata - he is one of our most experienced driver-guides so we had no doubt you would have a great time on the trip with him. At times our tours might not reach the minimum required but we always try to check the situation and wherever possible we contact our travelers in advance offering alternative options. We are very happy you are satisfied with the whole experience and we hope to welcome you on our tours again in the future! Kind regards, Aleksandra Sales Dept
<p>What an incredible and very worthwhile tour of Tuscany. Our guide, Giacomo, was so knowledgeable about the history and geography of the area . He spoke about the history of the surrounding villages and of the wine in the regions. One highlight was when we visited a 1,000 year old winery in Montepulchiano, and our guide was greeted joyfully by the winemaker, Adamo, the winemaker, who then gave us a tour of the wine cellar. There were only four of us in our small group, which was really wonderful - as we were meeting up in the square, we saw several other much larger groups of 20 meeting for their wine tours. The Brunello di Montalcino wines we tasted were so excellent, and our lunch was delicious! We are so happy that we treated ourselves to this amazing day!</p>
<p>Great experience tasting wines and soaking in the beautiful scenery, efficiently executed by our wonderful tour guide.</p>
<p>This tour was great! We drove about an hour and a half each way and stopped in the 2 wine towns, as well as Pienza which was between them not on the itinerary, but very cute town!. The wineries were very interesting and the tastings were generous. The second winery was a biodynamic farm and they served us lunch. The wine was really good. We also got free time for about 20 mins in each town to stroll about and see the sights. We even got to go inside an old castle. We also stopped on the side of the road for some great Tuscan countryside photos. Our guide was full of information and was really helpful. No negatives on our experience.</p>
