Florence Sightseeing Tours

"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. "

"Excellent tour visiting 3 wineries in Chianti region, lunch at one. Finding the start point was easy, very well looked after by Lorenzo all day, but not smothered. Max was an excellent driver in a comfortable air conditioned bus. The tours were informative, and well paced. Nice to be able to try their olive oils too. Lunch at Casa Emma was delicious, and they catered for vegetarians, allergies etc. Also had a short stop in Greve in Chianti, enough for a drink and stretch of the legs. An excellent day out. Do it! "

"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. "

"What a fun experience! We had no trouble meeting our guide. Sarah was awesome! We had a huge bus full of people on our tour - I bet around 60 people. But the wineries handled the big group with no problem and were attentive to everyone. We tried whites and reds at each stop and they were all amazing. We also learned so much about wines from the area. I highly recommend the trip! "

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.

"Very kind tour guide! Communication options through WhatsApp. Socialized with our travelers. I wish the first winery would have explained more tasting details of the wine like the second winery at the monastery did. Overall an amazing experience with BREATHTAKING views. Thank you to our driver Andrea and guide Llaria. "

"This experience was fantastic and well worth the money. It was great since I went in an off-time of the year since our group was rather small, only 14. Both the tour guides/drivers were hilarious and great guides. The first winery/wine school that we went to was a great time, the host/owner was hilarious, and we got to taste so many good wines, olive oils, balsamic, and some finger food. The second place had the most gorgeous view, and the wife of the wine maker who gave us a tour was lovely (plus they had cute puppies, such a win!). The final part of the tour, the trip to San Gimagnano, was great. Most of our group had lunch together, and we got to taste the supposed best gelato in the world. Overall, I had an amazing time and would book this tour again in a heartbeat if possible. "

"It was an amazing experience ,our guide Tanya and driver nino were super humble and awesome, Tanya is a very knowledgeable guide, she knew Florence and the history so well , she gave us a lot of suggestions what to see where to eat , the 2 wineries they took us to where really nice , the wine makers gave us a good tour and tasting, overall it was a great experience . I would recommend this trip by prestige to everyone "

"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. "

"This was an enjoyable day, and it was nice to be able to see the Chianti hills and the San Gimignano village. Also, I met some great people and had a good day. We visited two vineyards. The first was nice since they let us try a lot of wine; however, it felt more like a sales pitch, and we did not see the vines, cellar, or learn much about the process. The second vineyard was fabulous since it was a smaller family-run vineyard with excellent views, knowledge, and wine. The village part was super fun. However, due note that lunch is not provided, but you can purchase food in San Gimignano. Overall, it was a great day and an excellent way to see Tuscany. I would recommend the experience to most people unless you are looking for a super high level very in-depth wine tour. "

"Awesome tour of Siena, San Giminagno & Pisa. Good amount of time in each place. Lunch was great, had pasta, salad & mixed meat platter plus 2 wine tastings and NO sales pitch which was great! Sara, our guide was awesome - informative & entertaining, the driver Emiliano was great, kept the bus very clean! Would definitely recommend & get the lunch option. "

"The overall experience was good, however the lack of designated bathroom breaks during the trip posed problems. This trip is 400 km all said and done with no bathroom breaks. Each of the stops had a public bathroom available (somewhere), but for .50 - 1 euro (with the exception of the Chianti Hill stop). There were often times lines, which took away from the free time available. Be sure to have euro coins with you. The bus had probably 70 or so people vying for the same bathroom (plus those in other groups) when available and the guide was very impatient of this. The bus we were on was a standard charter bus, so the fact that there wasn't a toilet on the bus was weird. This huge problem be resolved with that small feature. We also were constantly rushed with hardly any time to explore the areas we stopped at. You get a tasting of the town, but no real time to immerse yourself in it and experience the culture. With that all said, I would recommend this tour. "

"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. "

"This was a wonderful winery tour, with an excellent guide. The 2 wineries were so welcoming and provided ample tastings of wines, balsamic vinegars and olive oil. The hill town of Greve was a sleepy little Italian village - a place we dream of visiting. "

"A MUST while visiting Florence. Truly truly a beautiful experience to visit the countryside and walk through medieval villages. I was so impressed with how well organized this tour was. Manolo (guide) was so enthusiastic and funny and took such great care of us! Antonio (driver) drove safely and was wonderful! The lunch is a MUST! Do it if you can. This was such a highlight. The organic farm was stunning it was so great to hear about the organic foods and wine they produce and then be able to have lunch and wine with a spectacular view could not be matched. I wasn’t expecting much of the lunch as it was with a large group but it was absolutely delicious, the quality fantastic (my Italian husband reiterating the same). Do this tour! You won’t be disappointed! "

"Leonardo was amazing! We went to 3 wineries and learned a lot of history along the drive: Fattoria San Michele a Tori (Alicia was a great host), then ate lunch and paired with wines at Casa Emma (Julia was also a great host), had a brief stop at Greve in Chianti for gelato, and finally Poggio Torselli (Matteo was a great host). The views and experience was fantastic! I highly recommend booking this adventure. "

"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 . "

"Very easy to find meeting point as was sebt direct instructions and pictures. Was met by a lovely lady, Rosa, who gave us information also on surrounding buildings and the areas we were going through. Very much enjoyed both of the wineries/vineyards, different and both interesting "

"The whole experience was executed very well. You definitely get your money’s worth and our guide and driver were great too. I wish it were a bit longer so we wouldn’t feel rushed to finish the wine. But overall this is a great value for what you’re getting. Our guide also gave us some history and recommendations about Florence. "

"This was such a fun experience!! I was a solo traveler and was able to make a bunch of new friends :) we had about 8 people in the group so it felt intimate and special! Our host Ned was so fun and knowledgeable about the area! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience that I couldn't recommend more! Plus lots of wine, cheese, and meats to eat what more could you want!! :D "
