A must do when in Florence - This was an amazing experience for our group of 5. Our guides Alberto and Andrea were amazing, truly informative, making all of us confortable, feel welcomed. More than a tour, our guides acted as friends making us discover Tuscany and more specifically the Chianti region, with great stories. A truly worthwhile private tour of two wineries and beautiful San Gimignano. A must do.

Top notch tour you don’t want to miss. - This tour has a bit of everything. A wonderful wine tasting with a meat pairing at a countryside vineyard, visits to beautiful cities and villages and a fantastic authentic Tuscan dinner. My daughter is a vegetarian and they were more than happy to accommodate her both at the vineyard and at dinner. The views were absolutely stunning. My photos look like they were out of a travel magazine. Andrea the guide was incredibly engaging and friendly. He interacted with all the members of my family. His knowledge of the area was fantastic and he told many interesting stories along the way. Andrea also made sure we were on schedule throughout the tour. Andrea even gave us dinner suggestions for the remainder of our time in Firenze. Truescany is an amazing company. They deliver what they say. The tour is exactly as described. If you’re in Firenze and considering a tour check these guys out and in particular Andrea; You will be glad you did. 100% all the way. Thank you Andrea.

Sooo good - Beautiful countryside, delicious food and fantastic wine. It was a great day. We got to spend some time in a cute walled city then have a large lunch paired with fabulous wine. Then visited a second winery with more fabulous wine. All driven in a comfortable van.

Highly recommend - Francesco (Frankie) gave us such a memorable time in Tuscany. His driving was very good and professional, we had great conversations, and he took us to such excellent places. Having a home cooked meal (which was amazing) in such a beautiful setting was so nice - and they even gave my brother a birthday treat!

Review for Sara on our wine tour - We had Sara as tour guide and she was great! We took a day trip into the Tuscan countryside and visited two winery’s. Sara was very helpful, sociable, and knowledgeable for the whole day. It was one of the best parts of our vacation. She got us to our locations with no problem, and kept us entertained along the way. Sara also gifted us a bottle of wine because she knew it was our honeymoon, and we greatly appreciated that. It is an experience we will never forget!

Great tour! - We took the San Gimignano and Chanti wine tour from Florence with Sara. It ended up just being myself and my husband, which was awesome! Sara was an amazing host! She was so friendly and knowledgeable, had us laughing, learning, and she also helped us practice our Italian! :) San Gimignano was so interesting and it was the perfect amount of time there. The gelato from Dondoli was to die for (get the almond/honey/saffron flavor). Also, make sure you take photos at the scenic point. The winery tours were lovely, but the lunch at the first winery was outstanding! We ended up buying a few bottles of both wine and extra virgin olive oil to ship home. Lovely time, thank you so much Sara!

Nice for a day out of the city - We ended up being the only ones on this trip, so it was a private trip for us. Our driver, Gabriele, was informative and gave us some information about the area on our drives. We had two hours in San Gimignano - the historical village was interesting to walk around. If you are not touring the church there - I would recommend walking to the park at the top of the hill (inside the walls) for the views. It gets crowded once the larger buses start arriving - but you will leave shortly after that. The wineries were really nice and the lunch was good. I would recommend this tour.

Friendly Road Trip - Our guide was very pleasant, a nice tour in a very small group, however expensive enough for the lived experience.
Lunch was however very good and the cooks adapted very well to special requests.
Unfortunately the two cellar visits were quite expeditious and too similar, there was no room for frills.
We were rushed to the end and did not have time to buy bottles.
We expected a more traditional discovery.
