About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- G7447GIlaurenc0 contributionsGreat Brunello TourWe went with Tours of Tuscany to Montalcino to taste and learn about Brunello as we were staying in the Chianti region and wanted to explore another area as well. We chose a group tour and everything was well organized and our driver was great, friendly, and fun to spend the day with. highly recommend!!Written 30 October 2024
- robins1j0 contributionsAn Amazing Adventure!We took the wine tour to Montalcino which included two wineries with a tasting at the first winery (Celestino Pecci) and a full lunch at the second winery (Paradiso di Cacuci). Our driver (Camilla) was fantastic! She was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun! She made our visit so memorable and enjoyable! The wineries were both wonderful. The views were spectacular, the food was delicious and the tours of the wineries were awesome! We learned so much about the wine making process and how they choose the grapes. The wine consultants/sommeliers were fun and informative. We ended up purchasing a case of wine at each winery to be shipped home. I highly recommend this company and this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.Written 25 October 2024
- Faith B0 contributionsFive Star ExperienceThis cooking class was hands down our favorite activity while in Tuscany. You can instantly tell that Alexandra (the chef) loved her job of teaching others how to cook. She was so kind and knowledgeable. The food was all so delicious! I can’t wait to try to make these dishes at home for our family.Written 19 October 2024
- Andrew R0 contributionsA trip whose memories are made for a lifetime and this is one of them.This tour has to be a must do. We have been on many wine tours, but this was the best. We loved Camila, our driver. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the wines. The winery Poggio Amorelli was superb. The owner and the others were brilliant. The meal served was one that we will remember for a long time. The wines were excellent and finely crafted. They truly represented the finest in Chianti.Written 15 October 2024
- Tour6095680 contributionsFantastic!Fantastic tour! Camilla was a beautiful host for the day. The wineries are spectacular and the knowledge shared was impressive. We highly recommend Tours of Tuscany. You will not be disappointed.Written 1 October 2024
- Cullycarl0 contributions5 Stars for Tours of Tuscany!We recently spent 3 weeks in Tuscany where our lodging, excursions and guides were all arranged through Tours of Tuscany by our American travel agent. Once in Florence, we worked directly with Niccolo at Tours of Tuscany for a few minor changes as we requested. We highly recommend Tours of Tuscany. They arranged beautiful lodging, excellent tour guides and wonderful drivers for the entire trip. The drivers were always on time, and the guides were very knowledgeable. We had requested experiences in wine tasting, Tuscan food tasting, sightseeing in the towns and countryside. hiking, and cooking classes. The walking tours of the towns upon arrival to eaqch were perfect. All-in-all, a 5 star experience.Written 30 September 2024
- Y217ZAstephenk0 contributionsSpectacular tour!We had a spectacular tour of Montalcino thanks to Silvia, Patricio and Niccolo. Beginning with our very 1st email inquiry the team at Tours of Tuscany were always immediately responsive and helpful. We specifically wanted to taste Brunello wines, and they gave us great recommendations and planned a very special wine tasting tour. Tours of Tuscany delivered a fantastic level of service, and we will definitely work with them again. Thank you!Written 30 September 2024
- R4032BUlyndas0 contributionsEnjoyable and informative wine tourWe found the tour to be very informative and beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed the wine and the food. We highly recommend!Written 30 September 2024
- Voyage308129767310 contributionsLove and wineWe had the best time on this tour! Fabrizio was our guide and he was amazing. My husband and I and our friends all favored the first winery, Il Colombaio. They're wines were just noticeably better than others we'd been to on our trip. The ONLY thing I would change for this tour would be to add more time in San Gimignano to shop. An hour was just too short to see everything. Did I say how much we loved Fabrizio? He was a very cool cat.Written 29 September 2024
- Q2306LMrobertp0 contributionsBEAUTIFUL VIEWS AND DELICIOUS FOOD.I cannot recommend this cooking class enough. Wonderful chef and teacher with an outstanding venue overlooking a beautiful vineyard. The food was delicious and fun to make. The wine was amazing and Alessandra kept us entertained and taught us so much. This experience was my favorite of all the things I did over 10 days in Tuscany. Book this trip — a memory of a lifetime!Written 26 September 2024
- tessas6660 contributionsMagical day with even better wineWe had the most wonderful time on this tour - we were absolutely spoiled! I can say with confidence that this experience was worth every penny from the first moment to the last. Such a treat to experience brunello wines and the Montalcino region with this awesome company.Written 26 September 2024
- Mayacng0 contributionsThe best cooking class in ItalyWow! What an incredible day. Alexandra was just amazing. She was so knowledgable about her cooking and wines. She taught us so much that we will all be practising at home! From the Al’dente pasta dish to the tender meat dish to the best tiramisu dish, every dish was 10/10. Alexandra’s mother, Michele was a delight, so lovely and helpful. I’ve been to many cooking classes in Italy and this was by far the best, the scenery, people and food was just dreamy. Thankyou so much guys!!Written 20 September 2024
- lynnrP9892YU0 contributionsFabulous experienceThis class was exactly what I was hoping for! The grounds, building and area where we ate, were exceptional. Our instructor was adorable and made the experience so fun and informative. Of our 2 plus week trip to Italy, this was definitely a highlight! We made 4 dishes and then ate each course with a glass of really good wine.Written 19 September 2024
- 121annaleiseg0 contributionsA must-do while in Italy!My friend and I did the solo wine tour, and it could not have been better! It was super easy to book, and we were picked up right from our apartment, no hassle. Our driver was wonderful and knew so much information! He would also stop between wineries to show us historical spots (and take our picture). The two wineries that we went to had amazing wine and explained their entire process to us, it was fascinating! Definitely my favorite part of my Italy trip, and the easiest to book. I cannot recommend enough!Written 15 September 2024
- irresistivo0 contributionsA perfect Tuscan day!Tours of Tuscany was highly recommended to me by a friend and exceeded all expectations. They planned a private truffle hunt and wine tour for us to celebrate my husband's birthday. Niccolo is a wonderful Tuscany and wine guide and we loved every part of our day and experience. Now it's my turn to highly recommend Tours of Tuscany!Written 12 September 2024

We had such a fantastic day. Niccolo our guide was so friendly and informative about wines, the region, truffles’ olives etc. He spoke really good English and was easily able to share his knowledge and experiences.
The vineyards we visited were varied with all very good wines for tasting. We got to see how the wines are produced with detailed explanations from the hosts. San Gimignano was also an added bonus. The lunch and final wine tasting was outstanding. We would hIghly recommend Tours of Tuscany. Nice to know they are a small family run company.

We have just returned from a fantastic day experiencing the best this region has to offer, courtesy of Niccolo. We were driven around in a private minivan to 3 wineries, each of which was a different experience with something new learned at each place and the chance to taste a lot of world class wines. A full day which was extremely good value given what’s included and a great way to sample Tuscany. Niccolo was a great guide and always happy to answer our questions and tell us more about the wines and the area.
Thanks Niccolo for a great day!

We loved the whole package: getting picked up and returned at our stay, and visiting two different wineries with great wines and food. Driver Massi informed us even more about Chianti wines and the region. Great organisation!

Although we are not new to the wine “business”, this tour was very interesting and we learned a lot of new things along the way. We had the opportunity to try a lot of wines and meet people that are passionate about their wine. But it was not only about the wine itself but as well about the stories behind it and the food that was served alongside. We felt that we had all the time in the world.
We can recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in wine and the people that create it.

My husband, myself and our two grown daughters in early 20s had the most wonderful experience at these Tuscan wineries. The Tour is run beautifully and our driver was knowledgeable & professional. The first winery is a small, family owned and operated and just gorgeous in every way.
It was a very personal experience being there and Niccola was exceptional. Our tastings were paired with beautiful nibbles from the region. The wines are gorgeous.
The second winery is a larger venue that caters to events etc. Here we had wines paired with a traditional Tuscan lunch. The food was delicious. This is a busier places with more groups present and a dining area more like a restaurant.
The drive through the Tuscan country side is breathtaking. Our brief stop for an hour in San Gimignano was very fun and the views from the top of the town are lovely and worth the trek up.
At the top I caught a glimpse of "Dante Allegheri" in full period garb reciting his poetry from his time in exile. I wish we had more time in this beautiful walled town but it's worth the peek and inspired us to see more of Tuscany.
We recommend this tour highly. It's worth every penny and the tour company is excellent !

Our private tour consisting of 6 adult family members could not have been more exceptional. Yes, weather conditions were poor… rain, but the vibrant smile and truly exuberant personality of our tour driver, Camila, set the tone for a wonderful day. The small winery was incredible and we recognized that with substantial purchases of their delicious products. San Gimignano was wet but oozing with history and provided memories that will last forever. While the final winery was less personal, the lunch meal was exciting and provided the basis for a needed nap on the ride back to Florence. I highly recommend this tour and can only hope all are able to have Camila has your guide.

We highly recommend Tours of Tuscany. Booking was quick and easy via email. Niccolo was prompt, communicative, and professional. There were 4 people total on our tour. In addition to selecting two excellent wineries (one smaller and one larger) he was a wealth of information about the customs and culture of winemaking and of the region. While this tour was more expensive than the others we considered, I am very glad we booked with this family owned business as the quality of the service provided was exceptional.

We had the MOST amazing day with Niccolo as our guide. The 6 of us in our party visited 2 amazing wineries and spent a bit of time in San Gimignano as well. Niccolo was informative and very patient (we asked a LOT of questions). We could not have asked for a better day. Thanks, Niccolo, for the wonderful memories!!

Very comfortable transportation in a Mercedes Benz V250d van seating 8 people with aircon. Our driver Fabrizzio was very friendly. Booking the tour via email was easy. Payment can be made via international bank transfer or credit card or cash, Alexandra and Niccolo replied to our initial email enquiry within 24 hrs. First tasting was at Lornano winery and included 5 variatels. The host was very accommodating and allowed us to try a 6th wine of our choice. The visit included a tour of the cellar and a description of the wine making process. The Le Bandite is recommended. The 1 hour visit to San Gimignano was sufficient to visit Gelateria Dondole, the main square and laneways and scenic viewpoints over the Tuscan countryside. The lunch was at Tenuta Torciano with wine pairing. This included tasting 8 varietals. The food was excellent, including the home style lasagna. Vegetarian choices were available on request. Include your dietary preferences when making your booking. Do appreciate that traffic back to Florence can be congested. The trip back from Tenuta Torciano winery was expected to take 1 hr but took 1h45m due to road work. Our tour pickup time was 9am and we arrived back at central Florence at 5pm.
