Had a great time with Samuel and Constantinos leading the tour! They were very welcoming, knowledgeable and warm
Such a wonderful short trip outside of Florence to see the Chianti Region. Not the best wines but the experience was memorable.
Lucia & Giovanni : Thank you so much for such a wonderful wine tour experience in Chianti! 🍷 We had an amazing time, and your knowledge, passion, and friendliness made the day even more special. We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting the area. Grazie mille! 🇮🇹❤️
Sammy (our guide) and Lorenzo ( bus driver) were superb. Everything was well organised and ran on time. Visited two wineries and both were excellent. Tremendous value for money and a real bonus was seeing the beautiful countryside and landscapes of Tuscany. Very informative talks and presentations at both wineries. Great opportunity to taste the wines and also time to take photographs. Would whole heartedly recommend.
After spending my summer in Europe, I am having friends visit me for their first time abroad. This tour was exactly the right amount of time, the perfect experience, and the best way to start our experience in Italy. I have personally been to several wineries and I very much enjoyed the two that were selected as all the personnel were very friendly and excited to talk about the wines. surprisingly they also gave a great amount of snacks and food. Our tour guides sameli and Lorenzo were also great and shared with us history about the region while driving between the wineries. 10/10 experience.
The tour guide was super knowledgeable and kind! Both wineries gave a lot of food with the wine and gave four wines each! The wines were great quality, and the wineries were super nice. Also the bus was air conditioned and on time.
We all loved the experience. Our guide, Sam, and driver, Lorenzo, were great. The wines were wonderful as were the tastings and olive oil.
Great wine, great food to accompany, and friendly guides!
Guide was “Sam” driver was Lorenzo. Both are great!
