First Class Wine Tour at Historic Tenuta Del Palagio Estate and More! - My niece and I had the most amazing experience today! Our driver and tour guide, Mr. Paolo Bicchieriai was excellent. He even stopped to allow us time to tour the Tuscan American WWII Memorial and Cemetery. That was a very lovely and unexpected surprise! Our Tenuta Del Pelagio Winery tour guide, Manuela was also incredibly gracious! The quality of wine, tapas and gift store items were outstanding. We could not be more pleased with the wonderful memories made today!
Grazie! Grazie! Grazie!

A must! - Loved everything about it! The stop at the American War Hero cemetery was an unexpected yet memorable spot. Winery and manager were wonderful. Informative, and interesting. Fantastic wine selection and cheese and snack pairings. Beyond expectations

Phenomenal experience - Our experience was amazing. Marco picked us up and brought us to a beautiful small village to shop before going to the winery. The winery offered breads, oils, and cheeses in addition to the wine. We tried 5 wines and had a great day enjoying the views of Tuscany. On the way back to the hotel we were dropped in a desired location in Florence. The car was very comfortable and clean. We would definitely do this tour again.

Wonderful Chianti wine experience - Perfect to learn and understand how Chianti wine is done and how different it can be.
The two wineries were perfectly chosen in order to give two different experiences (cellars atmospheres, type of wines, speakers...).
I would definitely recommend this tour to enjoy the wine, the landscape and the tuscan food, without forgetting a nice bus to take you around!

This was money well spent. Even... - <p>This was money well spent. Even though our driver spoke limited English, he was able to communicate points of interest along the drive to Tuscany. He made a point to stop at a small town on our way back as we had some extra time, and was kind enough to point us in the direction of the best treats there! The wine tasting was excellent and the staff at the vineyard were passionate, informative and kind. It was beautiful and was THE highlight of our time in Florence.</p>

I cannot say enough about this tour... - <p>I cannot say enough about this tour and our guide Luciano. We arranged for pickup at our villa outside of Florence for a small additional fee. Luciano brought a great balance of history, humor and love for Italy that was contagious. The wine tasting was fun and Luciano brought us to the beautiful town, Greve in Chianti, the center of the Chianti region and arranged dinner at a fabulous restaurant. This was one of the highlights of the trip to Italy.</p>

Where do I start-Marzio our guide... - <p>Where do I start-Marzio our guide was absolutely amazing. We knew it was going to be amazing when he started out with my family is 7 generations Florentine We cannot say enough about the tour we had. We can say that it wouldnt have been the same without Marzio. If you have the ability to ask for a specific guide we highly recommend Marzio. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.</p>

From the minute Marzio picked us up... - <p>From the minute Marzio picked us up at our apartment in Florence, we began our lessons on the history and people of not only Florence, his native city, but the rest of Tuscany as well. We have been to Florence many times, but we actually learned quite a bit that we didn't know on this tour. Marzio speaks excellent English and is very entertaining - it seemed as though a friend was driving us around, showing us his countryside. The wine tasting itself was wonderful, too - we thoroughly enjoyed the lessons on Chianti wines and olive oils and tasting those delicious products as well as having the chance to order bottles to be shipped home. This is a wonderful excursion and very well worth the extra cost. Highly recommended!</p>

Winery amazing, tour operator needs to drop Greve - Nice car, nice driver, but waste of time going to Greve in Chianti - it’s a small square and honestly just a big waste of time. Would rather see a 2nd winery.
We actually drove more out of the way to go to Greve. Not a fan…
Winery and food tasting was nice- lots of bread and cheese. The cellar tour was nice to see- don’t expect tons of technical information on wine making. We were fine with that:)
