Placedo is a Great Driver/Guide - We booked a 1/2 day private visit of the Chianti region through Viator. Placedo is an excellent guide! He greeted us promptly at our hotel at our designated pick up time and from that moment on our experience was 5 stars. Placedo is very friendly and his intimate and extensive knowledge of the area were amazing. We have never been to Florence or Chianti so he explained things as we passed, gave us excellent tips for our stay and took us to a quaint but beautiful family owned winery (Corbucci) where we were treated with special attention. We wish we had the whole day with Placedo! 4 hours was not enough time to enjoy all that he could have shared with us. Next time we will ask for him specifically and spend the entire day with him as our guide. Well done Ciao Florence! Placedo is excellent and we highly recommend him!

Absolutely a must!! - We had a fabulous day with Cristian Nuti! He was absolutely amazing . Very knowledgeable about wines and took the experience to another level. Once he knew we were from the US he stopped at the American world War II memorial cemetery. We had some time before heading back to our hotel and he stop near the city center which had a beautiful view, so we were able to get some great photos. If you take a tour, I would highly recommend that you book with them and request Cristian you will not be disappointed.

WONDERFUL! - Had a WONDERFUL time! Our driver/guide Cristian Nuti could NOT have been better! He was informative, friendly, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. As we were heading for Chianti Cristian asked if we wanted a short detour as we were passing the U. S. WW11 memorial. We then proceeded on to Fattoria Sant Appiano for a tour, light lunch and wine tasting. Our entire party had a delightful half-day. We could not have been more pleased and HIGHLY recommend the tour, and specifically with Cristian.

Fabulous Morning in Tuscany - We had a spectacular day exploring a bit of Tuscany. We went to a wonderful winery owned and operated by a welcoming family, and our driver Osvaldo was the best! I would highly recommend.

Wine and food, quite an experience - Very interesting and many wines from 2 different wineries were tasted. The guide Ana is very nice. 7 different types of wine were tasted, all accompanied with tapas to make it taste better. More than advisable.

Wonderful San Gimignano Tour - Cristian was a phenomenal guide. His knowledge of the local wines and history of the Tuscan region made the trip to the Corbucci wine boutique immensely memorable. Thanks to Cristian and Francesco for a excellent experience.

Friendly driver and comfy car, but things I wish I would've known prior to booking - Our experience with the driver and car was overall wonderful, however, my husband and I felt regret after organizing a wine tasting at a family-run winery recommended by the driver. Our driver was friendly and the vehicle was roomy, cool, and pleasant. Our original plan was to do 2 tastings and visit San Gimignano. We explained to the driver we would much prefer older, family-run, less touristy wineries prior to booking the winery experience. The winery organized felt like a major tourist trap and we felt major pressure to also eat lunch there (even though it was not our original plan). It wasted a ton of the time that we would have much preferred spending in San Gimignano ( because of the winery experience, the driver alotted less than 20 minutes for us to walk through the town--which isn't much when there were tons of restaurants, shops, a museum, a tower that we could have climbed etc). It was so quaint and beautiful there. This was disappointing. If we could go back and do it over again, we would have spent our entire time in San Gimignano and some of the other smaller towns in the Chianti region. If we did wineries again, we would have done our research and reservations on our own. Unfortunately because of this experience, it was one of our more expensive and less enjoyable excursions of our trip---if we had known prior we would've made changes accordingly.
