Great day in Chianti! - The overall tour was very enjoyable. Vincenzo stopped at great places for us to take pictures. We had two wine tastings at beautiful wineries. Stopped in two little towns to walk around. Tour met my expectations.

A Perfect Day - Had a wonderful day on this wine and castle tour. Vince was an exceptional tour guide, going well beyond the call of duty. He was both informative and innovative in his approach to bringing Tuscany and its vibrant history to life. Highly recommended this tour.

Great Guide Great Tour - Great tour that takes you to two wineries and the walled city of Monteriggioni. The guide was very accommodating( his English was great) and the scenery was great. We had 8 so it was a full tour. You get about an hour in Monteriggioni so plan accordingly. The wall walk only cost 7e (2 senior discount) and does not take much time. Lunch is served in all sorts of cafes from garden view to plaza view so decide which you want before going as you have only 1 hour. Town is very small but well worth the visit. The wineries were very scenic and the tastings were great(also some cheese and meats). 6 hour tour is time well spent. Tour drops you off at the gates in San Gimignanio. You may want to make dinner reservations for after the tour depending on what you do for lunch. The guide was very flexible about the drop off spot( with in reason)

Very enjoyable - All the trip was great. Beautiful scenery. We stopped at Monteriggioni and Cappellina in Chianti, both lovely towns. The two wineries we visited were nice country estates. Snacks delicious. Our tour guide and drive, John, was very kind.

Chianti afternoon from Florence - We attended this tour today with Maria Fernanda, such a nice and caring guide. She somehow managed almost 80 people by herself also speaking 3 languages (even the ones fighting for seats in the bus). The tour is nice, beautiful, a little too commercial for us, but we have great memories from this day and from the region, specially the Castle we visited. Hope to be back to Italy soon! :)

Lovely canter through Chanti - Tour was a bit random and didn't follow schedule but the places (2 wineries) we went were fabulous. Tour guide was pleasant but we made an unexpected detour to Siena to pick up additional passengers which reduced our time at other little towns by 1.5hr

Not the best - It got cancelled I went on another one, I traveled 5-6 hours for 6 very small glasses of wine in 2 wineries. Not happy. It was not made clear to me that I would have to travel from San Gimignano to Seine to pick up the tour. Disappointed. However the Driver/Guide was very good

Description is inaccurate - To start off, the description isn’t accurate. There were four stops on this tour, not just the two wineries. The other two stops were two small castle towns which were quite charming, but also completely closed. This tour should not be offered in the winter as it is now because those two stops take five minutes tops and in the cold, there isn’t anywhere to go for the remaining 25 minutes you’re there. Additionally, we were picked up in San Gimignano. There was no mention during booking that there was also a pickup in Siena so our tour started with an hour long van ride which would’ve been fine if we were warned, but we were not. Our guide was also very hard to understand and I say that as a native English speaker who is conversational in Italian. My partner was completely lost. The two wineries we stopped at were top notch though and I highly recommend them, just not as a part of this tour

Feeling deceived - Lack of information and support over the phone, when selling the tour they answer the phone and when the tourist needs it, they don't answer the phone.😡
