Wasn’t really a wine tour. Went to one winery on our third stop. Our driver knew nothing about wines and wasn’t a drinker of wine.
Mario was a very good guide and loved his recommendations regarding the tour. Wine tasting was amazing at small local vineyard.
Our guide, Irina, was exceptional. It was such a delight to travel around Tuscany with her. She had an outstanding grasp of the history of the area. She would ask us what we would like to do next, such as, would you like to get some gelato; of course, we said yes. The wine tasting shop and winery where we had lunch were terrific. I would highly recommend this tour and Irina.
Thank you 😊, we hope to see you again soon.
The tour was really above our expectations. Our guide (Giacomo), was really prepared. It made the visit engaging and enriched us with lots of interesting information. Beautiful landscapes and tastings of the highest level. The organization was fluid and we had a great day! Congratulations!!!
Giacomo is so amazing!the wine was incredible, cannot wait to come back. I love Tuscany! Best tour company I have ever used on my trips to Italy!
I really enjoyed the wine tasting tour- the scenery was stunning on the journey to and from the farms. The guide was a gift, spoke perfect English and was highly informative and pleasant to be with. The wine was the best I've tasted ever! I would definitely book again with this company.
The ride to the wine farms was amazing in itself. The views along the way were stunning. Moreover, I so enjoyed having the luxury of a very nice, informative guide. I noticed and learnt about things I would not have, had it not being for the guide( the cypress trees flanking the lanes of important villas, the top of Tuscany's volcano, the Amiata, in the distance, the flocks of sheep which produce the best pecorino in Italy). And the wine farms were amazing - the wine was superb and I loved the accompanying bruschetta with olive oil. The trip helped to make my holiday one of the best yet.
I had a very enjoyable time exploring the beautiful countryside of tuscany. Trying various types of delicious wines, visiting the pictoresque scenaries of these small towns and villages. An experience that has to be tryed to fully understand it!
