Nice tour - Although, we jusT went to one winery it id a nice personalized service and tour to the Chianti region. Our group was small and the van was clean following Covid regulations. Book if you want a nice romantic sunset at the end of the tour! :)

We ordered wine and vinegar and had shipped home from Fattoria Lornano. About 6 hour trip in all. Last stop at Castle-1/2 hour only to view-dusk by then and quite a hike to the top. About 40 in the group.</p>

Besides that, the tour was great and we enjoyed it very much. Good information and great wine tastings. I would highly recommend!</p>

Visit to Monteriggioni was good but short and the climb to enter the City was too much for elderly. Not sure what can be done about that since tour went 5 1/2 hours anyway. Tour guide on bus was nice but not very informative. With a bus full of tourists and a relatively long ride he could have talked more about the region, mabey some fun facts or history. Overall good value for the cost, and enjoyed the experience.</p>

Great wine in a rush - Our tour guide Anna was very nice as well as the guides at the wineries. Lovely wine. What we didn’t like though was that we spent basically more time in the boiling hot bus rather than outside and the tour was very rushed. We felt like we couldn’t enjoy the wine because we were always in a hurry. Also we only got 30 minutes at Monteriggioni which was way to short.

First off the tour operators tried... - <p>First off the tour operators tried to pull together several small groups who spoke several languages on the same bus. The leaders seemed overwhelmed and were anxious to get us back. The tour left Florence late, which left us racing thru the second wine tour and then to see the Fortress at night. Only 25 minutes to walk up long hill and stairs and back on the bus. Felt sorry for the elderly couple that had a tough time walking...the operators didn't seem too care...only about getting us back on the road. On a positive note, the first winery was fantastic and the owner who led the tour and tasting was really passionate about what they do. The wine was great as well. Next time we will use a different source to schedule wine tours. Of the three tours booked for our trip, these tour guides were NOT well prepared and didn't engage with the group.</p>

not meant for a solo or small group - do not book if you only have one or two people in your party!! The website says it’s okay and they let you book and take your money but i was messaged saying it’s not possible the day of. over 5 hours before the tour i said i could have at least two more people join me. they waited hours to respond and said it was too late even though it was still hours before the tour. should have booked a different tour. i’ll get my money back in several days... very unlucky for me. but the bus is only €9 from florence so i did and would recommend that.

Then they took us to a castle that was basically closed and said come back in a half hour and there was nothing to do there but sit around and wait, such a disappointment.</p>

Late start and instead of getting back at 6:30 as expected, it was closer to 9 p.m. Thus missing all the beautiful scenery on the way back because it was dark out. Thank goodness that was not the night I had my theater ticket. I took two of your tours, and would NEVER take another. They were rushed, impersonal, no sense of fun or adventure. Just let's get this darn thing over and done with. Thanks for the chance to review - I hope this will spare others.</p>
