10/10 Recommend! - This was the BEST tour and best way to see Florence in such a short time. We were in Livorno port from a cruise, and are a young couple with our parents. We wanted to do wine tasting, and our family wanted to do Florence and see the sights and this was the perfect mix for us! From visiting Florence to visiting the winery with a fabulous view and lunch, topped off with San Gimignano we couldn’t have asked for a better day! It was exactly what we were hoping for and more! 10/10 recommend

Flavors of Italy in a day - Our guide was so full of interesting information about the region we visited. San Gimignano and the winery were the highlight of the day. We were in awe of the history behind this hilltop city and loved the towers. Lunch to say the least was delicious. The presentation and background of the winery and vineyards were interesting and the food -yummy. Then off to Florence and despite the rain our guide made sure we got to see all the important beautiful sites of Florence. He even found the Hard Rock Cafe for our 20 something granddaughter. I would DEFINITELY do this tour again!
