Second time I have done this tour and it is still one of my favorites. Michaela was an execellent guide and took us to a great winery where we had the most delicious lunch and wines
Dear Karen, Many thanks you so much for your review!! It was a pleasur to have you on board.
If you are looking for a day trip to Tuscany out of Florence, stop scrolling!!! You can’t find a better tour than the day we shared with Nash. From the start, his communication was excellent and timely. And we made it a challenge! We kept changing the number in our group, and he never skipped a beat. Even hiring a second car to accommodate us. We started with a stop at a beautiful winery and gorgeous views. Next up was the gorgeous town of Siena. Nash gave us plenty of time, suggested places to see, and was very clear on our meeting place. We lucked into a parade in the streets. But the highlight of the day (and possibly our entire trip to Italy) was the stop for lunch at a Tuscan farmhouse/winery. A wonderful wine tasting with a great explanations of the process. And an absolutely delicious lunch homemade by a Nonna! Then on to San Gimignano, the town of towers. This beautiful place enthralled us all. We returned safely back to our hotel in Florence. You could not find a better guide than Nash! He took dozens of pictures of our group, had great information and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I highly highly recommend him!! A+++
Thank you so much for this incredible review! It was a pleasure coordinating everything for your group (even the last-minute switches!), and I truly enjoyed spending the day with you all. Wishing you many more adventures just as memorable—grazie mille for your kind words and high recommendation!
Nash was wonderful! He set up an amazing wine day in Siena and San Gimignano for us. The tasting at Torciano was fabulous! Nash had a lot of knowledge about the area and could answer any question we had. He stayed in great contact with me and even continued to make suggestions for us after the tour was over. His van comfortably accommodated the five of us as he drove through the Tuscany area and he stopped at great photo opportunities for us! Nash will set up an unforgettable wine tasting day for you!
