This was a great tour. We have done many tours but doing a small private tour was just a difference maker. Our guide Roberto was absolutely wonderful. Informative, timely and personable. We loved every single stop, and felt like we had plenty of time at each location. Th wine tasting as incredible, especially with the lunch included. Highly recommend!
I was a little disappointed in the experience. I guess I expected more than what was provided. Our driver was great! He was very courteous and took us to all of the places that were listed as a part of the tour. He also made suggestions for things to do and places to see. The winery that was chosen for the experience had great wine and I appreciate that it was an all women run winery, I just felt that it was not what I expected. Maybe that type of winery is the only one on this area. In addition, what was described as lunch I would not consider lunch. It was more like a charcuterie board with dessert. BTW, I did end up purchasing wine from this winery.
Max was the best and so informative! We will take home memories that will last forever! Amy Countiss Mississippi, USA
Tour was very good. Enjoyed all the stops and especially the wine tasting. The owner of the vineyard was very nice and we learned a lot about wine. It is a long day but worth it.
Unbelievable trip! We booked this trip last thinking it was too much travel for our little one. We decided to go for it and do not regret it. Our driver and guide was amazing!! We saw so much, ate amazing foods, best views I’ve ever seen, and drank maybe too much. Book this trip!!!!
One of our favourite tours in Italy. While not being a huge wine drinker, just the opportunity to head out into the Tuscany countryside was fantastic. The scenery was beautiful, the towns we visited were extremely picturesque and, most importantly, there were no huge numbers of tourists jostling you at every moment. It was just a lovely, quiet way of getting a great view of the real Italian countryside. I loved everything about this tour!
Max and Giancarlo took us through Tuscany in a comfortable Mercedes van. We toured 3 villages and 2 fabulous wineries with several photo op stops along the way. It was more than we expected. Our hearts remain in Tuscany.
Our tour guide was great. He knew a lot about the region and did not rush us on to the next place. Excellent
Convenient hotel pickup in Rome and 2 hour drive to Tuscany in small van with just one other couple. Several wine tastings and lovely pasta lunch at a winery with some fine Brunello. Stop at Pienza, a nice town with great views of Tuscany and wonderful shops
<p>Total highlight of our Italy Trip. Khan was a skilled, knowledgeable passionate escort. By selecting a small tour, we were in a Mercedes Van, able to go to areas that bus tours did not go. The wineries and lunch were fabulous. When an unexpected storm blocked us in at a winery, Khan worked his magic to make sure we still got to see everything that was promised, even though our tour ran late. Total Professional. Just a remainder - if you are Canadian, know your limits of wine purchase. Even though the wineries offer free shipping, you are responsible for duties, customs and clearance. In Ontario we had to pay 102 of bottle purchase to LCBO to clear customs taxes brokerage. It was a very expensive case!</p>
