I'm Italian and was my first time in Florence. The experience was made of cool people and good wine & food tasting. Tabitha, our guide, was great and available for us in italian even if the tour should have been in english.

Went with some friends and it was the perfect combination for a wine tour that we were looking for! Two very different but both excellent wineries and both gave us plenty of wine with delicious snacks! We loved it!!

I enjoyed the tour very much , the journey to the winery was very pleasant and our guide Ana was really friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. Will definitely do this again if I do make another trip there .

Great day, Mario was fantastic. Good amount if time to explore the towns. Would recommend to others.

It was a nice experience, good wine and Stefano was very friendly and professional
