We had the best time with Placido. He was so gracious and patient and showed us as much of Tuscany as possible in one day! We loved our experience and would recommend him to anyone!
Our driver, Placido, made this trip so enjoyable! He showed us the Florence American Cemetery (WWII US Soldiers) on the way to San Gimingnano. It was overwhelming. He was a very very safe and humorous driver.
This was the ABSOLUTE best experience. We lived out day trip with Placido. He made our day! We’ve had private tours in other cities and countries. Placido was the best! He took time to make our trip memorable ❤️.
Nuti Christian was our tour guide and even though the scenery was beautiful, Christian was the highlight of the day! Nuti Christian was knowledgeable, funny and a great communicator. What a pleasurable day Christian provided us! I am more than happy to write this review!!!
Our tour was great and our tour guide, Constantine and bus driver Aldo were fantastic. We had a great day. Lunch was good, the views were spectacular.
Amazing experience, Placido was a phenomenal driver and guide. We went to some amazing wineries and just had a perfect no rush day. I would book this again and again.
Incredible private tour. Our guide, Cristian was perfect. Gave us so many insights of the area with historical perspectives that made it a history class as much as a wine tour. He was patient with the many questions we had and we couldn’t be more grateful. Grazie Cristian!!! Hope to do this again next year with family.
Our full day trip through the Chianti region was excellent! Our guide, Christian, was awesome. He picked us up at our air bnb in Florence and off we went. We modified our tour a bit as we only wanted to visit one winery and see Siena and San Gimignano. We even had some time at the end of the day and we stopped at the Florence American WW2 cemetery. The winery in Sant’ Appiano that we went to for a wine tasting and lunch was amazing as well. Just know ahead of time that the wine tasting/lunch is not included in this booking fee. Ciao Florence (the tour operator) was excellent as well. They are very communicative through WhatsApp. We had a great time and highly recommend!
SPEND THE MONEY!!! request Cristian!!! Cristian is the best tour guide you will ever get in your life.i would have paid double the price if i knew how good Cristian was. Not only did he take us everywhere but he was super knowledgeable and humorous!! He spoke perfect English, was funny, and took the time to make sure we had an absolute perfect trip. It’s people like Cristian that give Italy a good reputation! Ciao Florence as a whole was such a pleasure! Easy to communicate through WhatsApp, And super responsive!
The tour was an incredible experience. We went to three wineries and had unique experiences at all. The scenery was stunning and the people at each winery were amazing. One of the best parts was our tour guide, Cristian. He was so fun and knowledgeable while driving us around. Very professional and we would absolutely request him again when we come back.
