We did the route with Fabio and he explained things very well. We liked it a lot. We will repeat again. A hug from the Canary Islands
We got lucky and had the tour all by ourselves! Our tour guide Marta was friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable of all things Florence! Would recommend to anyone! The wine at the end was nice as well 😉
What a wonderful experience ! Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us through great parts of Florence.
We really enjoyed our evening tonight on our wine windows tour. I liked learning Florence’s history and walking through areas that we haven’t been yet. The wine was excellent as well, highly recommend !
Fabio was fun and energetic with lots of information about the wine windows. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The tour is a leisurely walk around the city with information about all the wine windows and their history.
Saw so much of the city of Florence and learned so much about it! We had an olive oil tasting and a glass of wine. Got lots of recommendations for restaurants to try, neighborhoods and markets to explore, with little lessons on Italian phrases sprinkled throughout. It was an excellent introduction to the city on my first day here, definitely recommend!
We could not find the meeting point they changed meeting point and it was hard to find so we missed our tour. We asked for our money back and they declined. Not very happy with outcome.

What a fun tour. We had Gia ad our guide and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was just the two of us on tour this particular time so we got to ask all our questions! Wine and food was great. Highly recommend!
Greta was a very knowledgeable tour guide. You take a leisurely stroll through some of the less well known streets of Florence whilst hearing the history of the medici family, the wine windows and getting to sample authentic extra virgin olive oil from an expert maker as well as the wine window experience.
The meeting location is not clear, we took pictures and videos to dispute with cc company bc we could not find it. Tried to contact them and they said we were late, so the tour left. We were not late and have video to prove it. Very disappointed as we were looking forward to this. We saw the tour group at one of the windows and said we are supposed to be on this tour, the guide was rude and would not let us join in .. even tough people in the tour said it was the correct one.
Dear Guest, We’re truly sorry to read about your experience and understand how disappointing this situation must have been. As stated in our policy, for shared group tours we can only wait a maximum of 5 minutes after the scheduled departure time — after that, for logistical and safety reasons, it’s unfortunately not possible to join the tour once it has started. We’re genuinely sorry for the inconvenience and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future, so that you can fully enjoy the authentic experiences we’re passionate about creating here in Italy. Warm regards, TownsofItaly Customer Care
