Our trip started around 13:45 and getting to the meeting point from Florence city center was quite easy. We were greeted by Mr. Luka who was also our tour guide. We had a clean spacious Mercedes van for this trip. Mr. Luka even provided with a baby seat. The drive to the wineries in the Chianti area is quite scenic and it’s important to have sufficient daylight when you are getting there. Most other companies only started around 14:30. Mr.Luka is extremely knowledge about Italian history and the Chianti wines and he explained during our drive almost all the things related to the famous Chianti region in fluent english. We went to two wineries where we tasted three wines at each place and we also stopped by a famous castle. We highly recommend this trip with Mr. Luka (My Tour Italy).

We had the BEST day in Tuscany with Aldo! If we could give it 10 stars, we would! We went to Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti, and a couple of other small hill towns that were beautiful and interesting. We had lunch with a wine tasting at a vineyard in Chianti, and we stopped in a small town for the best pastries and espresso. It was a perfect day! There were 5 people in our group, and we were very comfortable in the van. I highly recommend this tour.

A really lovely way to spend the day, and by far the most efficient way of getting around Tuscany without feeling rushed. The driver Massimo was excellent, very knowledgeable and very friendly.

Our guide was so amazing! He spoke Italian, Spanish, and English. You definitely have to do this experience! Even our bus driver was so sweet and an experienced driver.

The guide was awesome, the destinations are breathtaking. We had some great encounters. Nothing negative to say.
