Stefano was an amazing tour guide. He shared with us so many details and information about the cities and what we were seeing which made the trip so entertaining. He also showed us amazing hospitality and guided us to where we needed to go on time, every time. The restaurant recommendations he gave were on point. We would 100% book again. We know now we’d love to visit Tuscany!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Alex! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing day exploring Tuscany with Stefano. Sharing the history, culture, and beauty of the region is something he truly enjoys, and we're delighted that his insights and hospitality made your journey both entertaining and memorable. It’s especially rewarding to know that his restaurant recommendations and guidance throughout the day helped you make the most of your experience. Tuscany has a special way of capturing hearts, and we're so happy that it inspired you to return one day! Thank you for your kind words and recommendation, Alex. We would be honored to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Italy.
Great trip out of Rome. Driver Stefano was excellent. Amazing views!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Tuscany and the beautiful views along the way. Stefano will be very happy to know that he helped make your experience special with his excellent service. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable journey through Italy!
Absolutely wonderful! Stefano was amazing - so friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect day! Five stars!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful day in Tuscany and that Stefano made the experience even more special with his friendly and knowledgeable approach. Five stars mean a lot to us — we truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable journey!
The driver was a good conversationalist and a good driver but wasn’t knowledgeable in doing tours apparently. We were to have been “scheduled” for a wine tour & tasting. He didn’t schedule with them and guessing since the tasting was free he didn’t know they required reservations. Then he gave us the name of a restaurant to go to for lunch “hearing it was a good place”..,wish we could confirm but it was closed. Essentially he drove us to destination, but we definitely were on our own. This was expensive for what was given and we have done several wine tours before. Not a Viator standard.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the driving and the conversation during the journey. Your driver that day was Alessandro, one of our highest-rated driver-guides, known for his professionalism and experience with our guests. We would like to clarify a few points regarding the experience. The winery visited in Montepulciano was Cantina Ercolani, the oldest wine producer in Montepulciano, and for the standard tasting experience reservations for our team are generally not required. Guests are normally welcomed for tastings upon arrival, which is why no formal booking was necessary. Regarding the restaurant recommendation, we are sorry that the specific restaurant suggested was closed. During the low season, some restaurants in small Tuscan towns close one day per week. Fortunately, there are more than 25 excellent restaurants within a one-minute walking distance in the historic center, which usually offers many alternatives for lunch. We would also like to highlight that this experience is designed as a private luxury day trip from Rome to Tuscany, including private transportation in a Mercedes EQE 400 and an English-speaking driver-guide. The driver provides comfortable transportation, local insights, and recommendations, while allowing guests the freedom to explore the towns, wineries, and restaurants according to their preferences. That said, we truly appreciate your feedback and will continue refining our communication to ensure expectations are always perfectly aligned with the nature of this experience. Thank you again for visiting Tuscany with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Italy in the future.
