Traveler reviews
Wonderful , exceptional...
Wonderful , exceptional experience in Tuscany’s world renowned wine towns. Immersive and comprehensive.
Absolutely surreal
The experience was great. We had the chance to visit multiple towns out in the countryside of Italy near Sienna/Tuscany. Offered exquisite glasses of wine, a lunch, and visited iconic landmarks along the way. Huge shout-out to our tour guide Bianca for making the journey fantastic and an unforgettable experience.
Nicely organized tour,...
Nicely organized tour, great food and wine. San Gimignano is beautiful but packed with tourists (including myself too) during mid day. Would love to visit it during some quieter time if any.
Great guided experience with Luca
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.
Buyer beware. Over booked and not what was advertised at all. Big waste of money
Buyer Beware. This tour was a 3rd party vendor My tour 366, who rescheduled the tour and overbooked what was supposed to be an 8-12 semi-private tour to 28 people. The two wineries were not able to accommodate. we ended up in the production area at the last minute, not the tasting room. The bus driver initially pulled into a lovely winery only to back out and take us to another venue twice. The 1st venue clearly was not expecting us and was trying to set up last minute. we could not use the main restroom because there was another tour and we were ushered into some dirty back room bathroom. We were served bread which was moldy. The second tour same thing we pulled into a beautiful estate, only to back out and end up on a small production farm, they were actually working the harvest and it appeared we were fit in last moment. The wine maker came out and poured wine and asked people to come help him. The area we were sent to looked to be where the staff had their breaks. There was supposed to be a tasting for olive oil/balsamic vinegar, that did not happen. our guide when asked said, these things happen it is the busy season, well it is October and not peak season. Not for $668 for 4 people. Such a disappointment. you hear how wonderful Tuscany is, it was our 40th wedding anniversary, and a once-in-a-lifetime trip. I am not by any means a wine snob, but have been to some pretty nice wineries in Napa and Sonoma so I know what to expect. This was not even close. We booked with Viator because of their reputation. Our guide lied to the tour company and said everyone was happy. I have so many photos that I will be sharing on Social media so noone else wastes their money and time. Keep looking if you want that fabulous once in a lifetime Tuscany experience you dreamed of, this is not it
