The entire tour was wonderful and informative. The locations we saw were so beautiful and the wine was amazing. The hosts at the wineries were very enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge and history of the vineyard

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour, the beautiful locations, and the wine experience, as well as the enthusiasm and knowledge shared by the winery hosts. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards, My Tour in Italy
This was a good tour, however, small group to me means 10 people or less. This was definitely closer to 30 plus people, and felt a bit like herding cats. The vineyards were nice, and well prepared for us. The two towns we visited were lovely. Overall, was an ok trip. I would have liked to see more of the actual vineyards rather than just the tasting rooms.
The reason for the rating THIS NEVER OCCURRED IT WAS CANCELLED 1 DAY prior to the booking I paid the tour well in advance then was offered another tour yes offered another tour 1.Not 8 but 20 people 2.No tuscan villa wine tasting it was a winery 3.No maps provided with all the non guide tikmes all day 4.The second half of the day waste of time as we had 1 1/2 hours to browse a wine making town with few shops open then 5Not 20 but 30 people sitting in a garden tasting red wine no wine tour at all and to offer a toilet in the open garden was disgusting

The 2 wineries visited were both very nice…the wine at the 2nd (along with the balsamic vinegar) was exceptional. 2 historic site stops in addition made this a complete experience. Actually compared to some tours this felt like a great value!

Our guide Luca was very knowledgeable and gave great information all day throughout the tour. He had good recommendations for restaurants in the cities we visited, and explained the different wines and products very well. The tour itself was nice, with visits to two wineries and some cities with impressive views over the hillside in Tuscany.

We loved this! I wanted to be in the countryside for a Sunday afternoon and this was a great choice. Very comfortable 8-person van. Terrific guide. Beautiful drive in countryside going to two small towns I couldn't have gotten to on my own. Two very different and marvelous tastings with great hosts. Tour was exactly as promised only better.
