This tour was our 5th out of 6 tours booked with Viatour and was the only disappointing tour we had. It was a “private” tour that when we got to the meeting place we found out we were with another couple. The drive is 45 minutes and until this tour had appropriate vehicles. This one basically had a taxi that we had to cram 4 adults into. The winery tour never happened and on an absolutely beautiful day they had us sitting inside even though there we were told outside. The “guide” said very little. And when we did ask a question was not able to answer. Not at all what we paid for.

my family (all adults) loved our winery visit ! The tour guide was outstanding to explain the sites around Florence and our drive to the winery. The winery experience exceeded our expectations. He had a nice tour of winery but the Tasting and diner was outstanding. We tasted many more wines than expected and our wine expert gave us and awesome experience. The ride back to our hotel was even better ! we stopped to see the hillside view of Florence, took pictures and even experienced the best gelato spot in the city! GREAT NIGHT at the Winery!
