It was a great day tour, a funny and knowledgeable tour guide, Alex, a great driver. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely! The countryside was jaw-droppingly beautiful, really beyond words! It was wonderful tasting wines at several wineries - along with crackers, cheeses, and salami. Alex and the guides at the vineyards explained everything about Chianti and olives and more. We had a wonderful lunch also. It was nice that there was only about 16 people. Easier to get to know the other traveler's. We cannot recommend this tour enough!

The countryside of Tuscany was beautiful. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail. You could tell he was passionate about educating others.

Fantastic day exploring Chianti region. Interesting scenery, the lunch was beautiful accompanied by nice wine.
The villas, gardens, cellars we loved seeing.
We had Gloria as our tour guide, her knowledge of the region, the wine and Italy was impressive, topped off with the delivery. She was interesting to listen to and entertaining.
Our driver was Nando, he did a great job driving the beast through those Tuscan roads, felt we were in safe hands.
We would definitely recommend this tour

Alex was an awesome tour guide and Giuseppe was a fabulous driver! We learned a lot about the region and went to 3 beautiful properties. It was a perfect small sized group. Great work and would recommend if you want a full day in Chianti area with transportation so everyone in your group can enjoy the wine!

The wine tour was such an amazing experience! The food and wine was top notch, and we had a lovely time learning about how to pair them. Our guide Sara was so friendly and helpful, and provided us with a wealth of information about the history of the Chianti Classico region.

If you want to see the Tuscan Hills, Drink the Tuscan wine and taste the Tuscan food then this is the tour you must take. Alessandro our guide is a wine loving , olive oil loving version of Johnny Depp. You will spend some time outside learning about how grapes are grown in the Tuscan Hills region and see behind the scenes of how the area makes its special wine. Unlike some tours the wineries, the wines and the food are outstanding and plentiful, the 4WD Unimog is great and Roberto is an expert driver.
Do yourself a favour if your in Florence book this tour.

Having recently taken the Wine Safari, we can recommend this very highly indeed. From even before we boarded 'The Beast', the excellent tour guide Gloria made us all feel very welcome and part of some big adventure. Throughout the day we were introduced to some great wines and olive oils and got to meet the producers - who were always very welcoming and informative. The approach to the whole day was very relaxed and Gloria was just such a chilled-out but very competent and informative host (we especially loved her "blah, blah, blahs" when it felt like information overload). We also had a fantastic surprise when we stopped for our wonderful lunch in that, on a previous Walk About Wine Tour we had taken a few years ago we also had an amazing tour guide, Stefano and he just happened to be there at the same place with another group and Gloria brought him over to us. It was fantastic to meet him again also and for us made an already great day even better. We also wish to mention our driver (Roberto - I think), who steered the beast masterfully throughout the day and was always on hand to help us down the steps of the beast. All in all, this has been one of the highlights of our long awaited return to Firenze. Thank you - Carole and John

Fantastic experience with Sara and this tour. Minimum 5 stars!!! Brand new vehicle, very comfortable. Our driver was great. Our guide Sara was wonderful. Shared her personal story about Tuscany, the history, took us to 3 wineries in the Chianti region. Tasted incredible wines from each along with cheeses, meats & lunch. Great company with other tourists from the US. Highly recommend!!!
