Florence Sightseeing Tours

"The Chianti Tour was a delicious change from the hussle and bustle of big cities with it’s pricy food establishments. Sorry to say this but one had to be careful not be fleeced alive . A can of Coca Cola sold at €7 is off the board ! So yes the Chianti Tour was professional , we had a very experienced driver and Anna our guide was wonderful! The two wineries we visited were great and the wines and oils and balsamic served were great ! The surrounding countryside crowned all of this ! Yes definitely recommend it . "

Guide was excellent and really helpful. Was a little disappointed that we only visited one winery.

"We didn’t have a car, so this was a great option to access some touristic spots without having to navigate. The tour guide, Manolo, was awesome and really made it a fun time. It was great to be able to have a lunch with other travelers in Chianti and the backdrop was beautiful. "

"I’m traveling with my mom and we had planned on doing this tour together, but realized it would be too extensive for her, so I decided to go alone. Best decision ever! Met very kind fellow travelers, and can’t imagine having skipped Siena Pisa and San Gimignano. Absolutely unforgettable, and our tour guide Angela was a pleasure and so kind- I forgot to schedule a climb of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and she was kind enough to assist me in purchasing a ticket on site. Our bus driver Antonio was exceptional as well. We got the most free time in San Gimignano I’d say, which was nice because there are many shops there. The Siena Cathedral is must see- my favorite sight in all of Italy so far. On our tour we visited Siena in the morning (perfect before it’s too hot or crowded, lunch in San Gimignano then sunset in Pisa- absolutely perfect. What an amazing value for the price too- just book this! "

Stefano was the perfect guide for our tour- very knowledgeable, helpful and personable. The lunch at the winery was excellent- we tasted 4 wines and had a lovely lunch.

"This was a really good half day experience. If you don’t want to commit to a full day and still have time to explore the city during the day I would highly recommend this tour to you. We were able to stay in the city until 2 and then had a great time for this tour. The wines were delicious and the owners/guides at each winery were so nice and accommodating to questions. You could tell how much they love what they do and how they want to share it with others. Our guide Eva and driver Nino were incredible. She told us a perfect amount of information for the region and he got us there safely while also letting us see some of the country side. Highly recommended this tour to everyone!! "

If I could give this tour 6/5 stars I would. Our tour guide Gloria was an extremely knowledgeable Sommelier who kept us engaged and interested the entire time. You'll learn about all the different red wines of Tuscany. You are provided with plenty of food throughout the tour and lunch is served family style. The vineyards and villas provide breathtaking views and the bus you travel in will definitely give "off-roading" a different meaning. This tour is an absolute must.

"This was the most fun tour we did in Italy. We had an amazing guide and she was speaking lots of languages! (Sorry i forgot her name, too much wine I guess?). We had nice discussions, made some friends and the two wineries were nice. We liked the first one morr. San Gimignano was stunning and a nice add to our trip. The view of the Toscane region was beautiful even in winter. I had a cold and was hesitant to book but i’m glad i did even if i didn’t taste all the delicacy of the wines. Totally recommend! "

"Great wineries. I feel like the second winery Casa Emma was the best of the bunch. Our tour guide and the driver created a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for the entire tour. The ""special surprise"" at the end was very enjoyable. We had 20 people on the tour and I found that to be a good amount of people. All in all everything was well paced and felt relaxed. Having said all that I feel like the amount of wine we received was a bit too little. "

"Sara and Fabio were incredible! We had such a lovely day with them visiting some beautiful places that we wouldn't have seen without the tour. The lunch and wine tasting was brilliant also. Fabio was an excellent driver through the gorgeous winding roads and Sara was super helpful and on hand to answer any questions about her glorious city. Would highly recommend. "

"We had a very unique experience. We were the only two people on the tour therefore it was possible to visit 2 vineyards, of which the second one had spectacular views and fantastic wines. The first one had a good selection of wine and a nice environment. Therefore I would highly recommend it in a smaller group to visit both places. "

"We had a great day tasting many different Chianti-wines whilst getting introduced to the wineries process on making the wine. We also got to taste different olive oils and had a tasty lunch at Casa Emma. Our guide, Rafael, was really knowledgeable and nice. can definitely recommend this tour "

"Great trip great guide great driver. For us best wine was Casa Emma and the view from the final stop breathtaking definitely one of many highlights. It’s an early start with first wine served around 10/10:30 so would have been nice to get a coffee and croissant at start of day ahead of the wine tasting. Would definitely recommend "

"Such an amazing time on this tour! The first stop is by far the most amazing experience, gorgeous winery with very classy presentation and good wine. The second stop was also great, it was fun learning how wine was made and the views were impeccable! It was only 4 of us in the group and we had so much fun, even ended up linking up later that night for dinner, we got along well had and amazing shared experience to talk about all night. Eduardo was a great tour leader, couldn’t recommend a better person to take us around and teach us a little bit of history, geography, and culture. Highly recommend this tour! "

"Really fun, informative tour, probably the best I've been on. The guides themselves are brilliant and the winery owners are very accommodating. I am vegetarian and they made me a little plate of sundried tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes & lovely pickled onions instead of the plate of meats that everyone else got. It was absolutely amazing! 8 x different wines plus breads with olive oils & balsamic vinegars. You get what you pay for & more on this tour. "

"This was a great experience during our recent trip to Florence! The meet up location was easy to find and the tour guide was great! Both wineries were stunning and we were provided with the perfect amount of time at each location. In addition to great wine, we were provided with delicious meat and cheese during each tasting. "

"We absolutely loved the wineries and our host, Violeta. From both we learned plenty about The Tuscan winemaking process and got to visit different winemakers and taste local food, with plenty of wine provided at each tasting and time to stop in Greve between stops "

"A very good opportunity to get an expression of the toscany: beautiful landscape, delicious food, nice cities and impressive sights. Everything was very well organized; our guide Manolo was excellent: he gave a lot of information, always with a glimpse of humor and handled the big group perfectly so that the mood was relaxed and friendly all the time. "

Awesome tour! Lavi, our tour sommelier, and Romolo, our driver, made our food and wine experience on this day a top-notch outing, and was definitely one of our favorite tours in Italy. Lavi explained the details about wine, wine tasting, and the wine history in the Chianti region, and all three stops in the region were informative, relaxing, and fun, as well as tasty with the appetizers and lunch pairings. Romolo expertly navigated the roads, and both deserve 10 stars, if that were possible. Thank you again, Lavi and Romolo!

"SO GLAD we booked this tour. Sylvia (our amazing guide) took us to two different wineries and we were absolutely spoiled by the hosts. We learned about the regional grapes, had delicious tastings with food pairing and got to shop and explore the vineyards. Our tour ended with a trip to the incredible medieval town of San Gimignano for some sightseeing and gelato. It was the perfect amount of time and we never felt bored and ready to go. Our group of 8 had travelers of similar age and different backgrounds and we all clicked so well. I would highly recommend this tour and will certainly be booking another one when we return to Italy! "

"Joined the Grape Escape Winery Tour on 30th January 2020 with our guide Manolo, who speaks very good English and explained everything clearly. Very humorous and never failed to entertain us during the whole journey. Went to taste some awesome wines at two winery and the best balsamic ever! Would highly recommend anyone who wishes to try the wines, olives and balsamic of Tuscany. "

"Great half day tour to 2 vineyards in Tuscany as well as a short visit to the Gated village of Monterigioni. If you are looking to get a ""taste"" of Tuscany and see the views of the Tuscan countryside this is a great half day tour. Our family of 6 enjoyed it and the hosts at the Wineries were hospitable and friendly. "

We had a wonderful day that was nicely tailored to the mobility issues one of our trip participants was facing. It was a truly wonderful and relaxing day.

"We loved this tour!!! My husband and I are on our honeymoon and we thought we’d do something different and join a day tour with other young adults - and it was so much fun. Paula was so cute and funny! The first winery we visited was awesome - our host was hilarious and they served a generous amount of wine, olive oil, crackers and the best Balsamic anyone has ever tasted. The second winery wasn’t as generous but it had the most amazing views of the rolling Tuscan hills. The last stop at San Gimignano was alright, great for the views but would have preferred another winery! Overall, would definitely recommend if you’re up for a fun day in Tuscany. "
