Alex our guide gave us an amazing, unique Tuscany Winery tour experience. The small group tour was absolutely perfect. Amazing food and wine.
This was the highlight of our trip to Italy! We wanted to get out of Rome for a day and this was the best tour! We thought we were going to be with up to 6 other people and we ended up having a private tour to Tuscany! Alex was a fantastic tour guide making the trip fun, informative, and personal. The private tour of the winery was incredible, lunch was delicious, and Alex had a special surprise at the end which felt like a once in a lifetime experience. It was a very special day and worth every penny! Highly recommend this Tuscany day trip if you’re looking for something special to do!

Amazing!!! Amazing food, amazing people, amazing wine! Alex was fabulous! I would book this trip again.
All the credit goes to my wife who book an amazing trip but the tour guide Alex made this trip a phenomenal experience! It began with personalized pickup at our hotel and the conversation to Tuscany was fantastic. Yes all day tour began with the most amazing experience at a winery where we tried so many wonderful wines and the views were breathtaking. Additionally we experienced a lunch many courses and flavors to experience with a view unimaginable. Our next stop was a wine shop in a small town which was lovely but the underground caves was so special with the owner. Then one last surprise stop to take in one of the last stunning views and a celebration finish which I will leave for you to find out. Alex and their team focusing on very small intimate tours and we only had three of us in this particular tour making it extremely personal. This trip was worth every penny and I would recommend and do it again.
This was the most amazing tour ever. The guide Alex was absolutely incredible. Very knowledgeable, go w the flow, kind, and fun. The vineyard was an A+++ the most beautiful place I have ever been to in my entire like. The guide was so knowledgeable and the wine was perfect. A private chef made us the most fresh delicious meal imaginable. We got to sit on the back porch while served flowing wine. Over looking the beautiful tuscan views. This vineyard is just stunning can’t say enough about it. Much to our surprise Alex stopped along the way home at another vineyard. Where he had champagne for us and lemon cello. Was such a fun thoughtful treat. Cannot recommend this tour enough also the perfect amount of time for the tour.
We had a private driver named Alex. Very nice and knowledgeable about our trip. He picked us up at our hotel on time. From there it’s about 1.5 hours to southern Tuscany. We went to a small private vineyard that was out of this world. Amazing wines and the served us like a 5 or 6 course meal. Amazing scenery and lunch. 5 stars for sure. This was the highlight of the trip. After thaf we stopped at a local wine shop to taste more wines, shop, and went into the cellar where they had all the “ good stuff” Last part of the trip was a surprise. I’ll leave it al that. It exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend this tour!!
This tour was absolutely incredible. Can’t say enough about it. It will blow your expectations. Small and private. Our guide Alex was absolutely unbelievable/ knowledgeable, easy going, friendly, went above and beyond. No rush allows you to spend as much time as you prefer or as lil. The winery we went to was absolutely amazing. The best wines, host, the must unbelievably beautiful place I have ever experienced in my entire life. and we travel a lot!! A private chef cooked for us while we dined on patio w the most beautiful views paired w delicious wines. Could have stayed there all day in the beautiful gardens while tasting the wines. Much to our surprise alex stopped on way back.. in a beautiful vineyard you can also touch or taste the grapes. While he brought us prosecco to drink picnic style and ended w yummy lemoncello. Once again I can not recommend this tour more. You will want to go back again as do we. Also not to long of a tide from rome and the perfect amount of time. Enjoy!
Alex was amazing with the tour and it was so much fun trying out all the different wines and foods! Highly recommend this personalized experience!
