We did the late morning Chianti Wine Safari with lunch as part of a larger group, and it turned out to be a genuinely fun morning. Our guide Tony struck the right balance - clearly knew the region and the wine, but kept things light with a good sense of humor that made the whole group dynamic work well. The off-road drive out into the vineyards was a fun start to the day, and both the wine and olive oil tastings were excellent. Lunch was hearty and satisfying to finish things off. If you're looking for a wine tour that's more about good energy and a fun group experience than quiet, formal tastings, this one delivers.

Sara and Fabio (Driver) are fantastic. Sara has a great unpretentious approach to wine that respects the art without forcing pomp or inflating mystique. Knowledgeable and sharp witted, this tour is a must try and made all the better by our hosts.

If we could leave more than five stars we would. The tour guide, Allesandro, was extremely knowledgeable of the region and enthusiastic. The driver, Christophe, was a gentleman, and very importantly, a safe driver. The you, Allesandro, for making our tour memorable in the best possible ways and thank you Christophe for making the trip safe. We highly recommend this tour, Allesandro, and Christophe.

My husband and I loved our Tuscany region wine tour! Fabio (tour guide) was very engaging, funny and knowledgeable! Labi (our driver) was also fantastic and handled the tiny winding countryside roads with ease like a pro. The three wineries we got to visit were rich in history and gorgeous sites! Loved getting to be out among the vines as well deep in the earth in ancient cellars! Truly a unique experience and one I’ve talked about many times since returning home. Loved the food / wine and fresh pressed olive oil! Certainly worth the time and money!

We had a wonderful day with guide Alessandro and driver Fabio! Alessandro was so knowledgeable about history of the region and wine, and we left the tour feeling more knowledgeable about choosing Chianti wine back home. The bus ride through the Tuscan hills was enjoyable and picturesque. Alessandro handled a minor situation on the bus discreetly and professionally. We visited a farm and a restaurant, both of which were outstanding. The lunch we had set the bar incredibly high for the quality of food we should be enjoying in Italy. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence or the Tuscany region and will be talking about this trip with our friends for the foreseeable future. 10 out of 10.

Here’s a glowing review you can use: --- Sara was an absolute gem of a guide! From the moment the tour started, she blended wit, warmth, and expertise so effortlessly that I kept forgetting I was part of a larger group—she made each of us feel like the star of our own little adventure. Her patience was unmatched, her teaching style clear and humble, and her ability to bring everyone together made the whole experience feel wonderfully personal. If every guide were like Sara, I’d sign up for tours just to learn something new and laugh along the way. Absolutely outstanding!

My girlfriend and I booked the sunset wine tour with Gini, and she was amazing. Very knowledgeable as a sommelier and kept the vibe fun and lighthearted. She made wine seem very fun and accessible to everyone, including us who don’t have much experience. Highly recommend.
