Tours in Tuscany

"Lucky me I was part of an amazing group of people during this day trip! The guide was sweet, goofy, knowledgeable, approachable, profissional, I honestly have no words to thank Leonardo for the amazing wines we tasted today. I totally recommend this experience. "

"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! "

"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 :) "

"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. "

"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 "

"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! "

"This tour was awesome! Super fun. Our guide Eduardo was amazing. He did a great job of making us all feel welcome and encouraged us to all get to know each other on the tour. You could tell he loves his job which made it that much more enjoyable! We loved learning about the history of the region as we travelled in the car. They took great care of us. Even though my friend and I got lost in town, he went above and beyond to help find us and get us back safely. 10/10 would recommend this tour. Had a lot of fun, drank a lot of wine, and walked away with new knowledge and great memories!! "

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.

"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 "

"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. "

"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. "

"This experience was the best one I had in Italy. It is worth all the money. Violeta was our guide and she is the most kind, amazing and knowledgeable guide ever. We learned a lot about the city and she even helped us at the end of the experience to find a taxi and stayed with us until it came. "

"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. "

"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 "

"So much fun doing this tour. It was a perfect amount of time and Ned was a knowledgeable and funny tour guide as well. The first winery we went to was a lot of fun and you could buy wine for yourself and also ship it home if you wanted. We got to try really good olive oils as well. The second winery was also good, we got bruschetta in addition to the wine and it had stunning views. This also had an option for purchasing. The last stop was San Gimignano where we time for some gelato and quick shopping before leaving. "

"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. "

"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! "

"Amazing and the perfect amount of time -we were pretty toasted after the two wineries and 8 LARGE “samples” of wine. We did the afternoon 230 PM time and were able to have lunch beforehand and dinner afterwards. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about Chianti Classico wine as well as the experts at each of the wineries. The wine type is meant to be paired with food so snacks were provided and delicious. Both wineries were beautiful -grounds and indoors. I highly recommend committing a half day of your stay in Florence to this wine tour! "

"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. "
