Really enjoyed this tour! Although we had difficulty locating our driver, once we did we had a great tour including two wineries, both were fantastic, followed by stops at two towns with an hour free time for each. We also had two stops for photo op’s with one of the two being the most gorgeous views. A lot packed into a half day trip and looking forward to doing it again. Highly recommend.
Great afternoon tour. A nice balance visiting two medieval sites and two wineries. Our whole family enjoyed. Friendly and knowledgeable driver. I would recommend!
Overpriced! Two five minute roadside stops to take pictures, two 20 minute stops without the guide to wander around small hillside towns, ( one after dark), two very long wine/ oil / balsamic tastings at wineries encouraging us to buy their produce. The ' Tuscan delicacies' were two slices of mortadella and some scraps of toast. Essentially a wine promotional tour
Dear guest, Thank you for your review. Kindly note that in the description you don't find the voice "snacks". You don't find in the inclusions anything like "light lunch" or "food tasting". You can see only the wine tasting, it's up to the winery to give you some dry snacks with the wine like bread or grissini. Best wishes, My Luxury Drive Team Best wishes, My Luxury Drive Team
The wines we tasted at the two wineries, Antinori and Ai Laghi, were wonderful. However, the Antinori room was so noisy that we couldn't hear the speaker very well. In addition, the Italian snacks there were sparse - no bruschetta, no cheese, no prosciutto, as cited in the tour description.
Dear Carol, Thank you for your review. Although, you don't find bruschetta, cheese or prosciutto mentioned nor in the description nor in the inclusions. You only find only wine tasting or dry snacks.
This was supposed to be a small group tour, the ride was small group but at the wineries it was a group of over 20! Not the small group as advertised.
Dear, Yes, it's a small group tour since you don't share the driving with over 20 people in a bus but you drive in minivans. The wine tastings are together indeed it's not advertised as private wine tasting but as a shared tour. Best wishes, My Luxury Drive Team
The trip was great! Especially our driver Daniel who was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We enjoyed the whole trip immensely and would do it all over again!!!
Hi Joseph, I would like to thank you for the review, we are happy that you enjoyed the tour. Best wishes, My Luxury Drive
