Tours in Tuscany

"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. "

"Long day but great opportunity to visit 3 Italian villages and enjoy a really nice lunch in the Chianti region at an Agritourism farm. Prepare for lots of walking and bus travel but a nice combination of guided and free time. Our guide was kind, funny and informative. Thank you for the Molo for the great day. "

"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 "

is an experience that I would recommend to everyone! I was with some friends at the sunset boat aperitif, we had a great time and we could admire Portovenere and the islands from a new perspective! The cocktails were great and the music accompanies and throughout the evening! beautiful memories of our little holiday!

"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. "

Fantastic night. The food was excellent and the cabin crew super friendly and professional. The unforgettable sunset To be redone soon!!! I highly recommend it!!!

"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 "

Our young captain did a great job showing us the sights and describing them well in English. We truly loved Portovenere, its church, castle, and one of the best pizzas on our trip! We also truly loved what the stores had to offer. Having said that, the only minor quibble is that we felt four hours was a little long. We were ready to go after 3.5 hours.

This is the most romantic excursion we’ve ever done. Captain Marco is the best! He prepared us authentic Italian stuffed muscle, wine and Prosecco and pasta. We snorkeled near Tino Island and saw dolphins. The most amazing trip for couples. Thank you Marco we will never forget it!

"Fantastic boat tour on the coast of the cinque terre. We could even jump into the water to swim. The description of the tour should be however updated as we didn't received/used: Snorkelling equipment, beer, myrtle liqueur, water, soft drinks, juice, and iced tea. "

We took part in a boat tour departing from La Spezia to discover Portovenere and the whole wonderful gulf, and we can only define it a magical experience! On board we immediately felt welcomed: the professional, kind and always smiling crew made everything even more special. The tour started in the late afternoon, sailing along the coast between the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, with an exciting stop right in front of picturesque Portovenere. The sunset that reflected on the sea created a dreamy atmosphere, perfect to start the aperitif: fresh prosecco and a relaxing playlist kicked off a truly unique evening. The dinner on board was the real surprise: fresh dishes and served with great care. All with the coast lit up in the background and the sea breeze that made everything even more impressive. And then... the party! After dinner the music turned on, the tempo picked up and the boat turned into a small floating disco. Dancing under the stars, with the moon reflecting off the sea, was the perfect way to end the evening.

"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. "

It was a fantastic boat tour and such a unique experience to see Cinque Terre from the water. Our guides were very knowledgeable and great hosts!

"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. "

"A thoroughly enjoyable experience. The organisation was first rate. Mano - our guide- and Nando- our driver- were excellent. Always congenital and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. We especially enjoyed the trip to Siena (fabulous local guide- can’t remember her name) and the lunch at the organic farm. "

"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. "

"Our guide, Leo, made this trip extra special. His knowledge about history added so much depth to the whole tour. He also sang and played the guitar for us :) very lovely tour. This one tour has made me fall in love with Italy, it’s culture, it’s history, it’s food and ofcourse it’s wine :) "

What a great time we had. Great little boat with max 12 people. We stopped for a swim in the beautiful clear water and Captain Marco had a fresh water shower for us when we got out. Information and history provided along the way and he made sure everyone could take photos by turning the boat around. Can play music through the speaker which just added to our time on the boat. Great snacks and drinks too. Highly recommend.

The guides were great and helpful but it should be noted that this is not an easy kayaking experience. It is long (and the guides will assist you if you need help, they took our two kids in one kayak for instance) and a bit rocky if you get easily sea sick. It’s a beautiful view though. The other thing to note is that there are mosquitoes in the cave and though we were only there for 15 min, we got pretty bit up. Beware!

This is a small group tour with 12 seats on the boat. Our tour guide was great. He was a local with a lot of knowledge about the area. He handled the boat well and the music was fun.
