Great arrival day tour! The tour took us through parts of the city less traveled and was a terrific orientation to Florence. Our guide Fabio was stellar!

Confusingly - we’d learned all about Dante’s circles of hell earlier in the day, but the museum failed to mention this tour as the inner most circle. I think the implication is that the tour includes stopping at wine windows and tasting wine, it does not. At the end of a tortuous 90 minute walk, where the guide rambled on incoherently about fascias, we got one glass of wine. Would not recommend.
The Wine window tour part was good, the guide was friendly and knowledgable. However, at booking with was unclear that we were booking 2 completely separate tours, it was very misleading as it implied we were booking the wine windows tour and part of this tour was the options of either food or a river cruise. The total costings were not broken down to indicate 2 separate tours. We opted for the river cruise but at the end of the windows tour the guide had no knowledge of the river cruise, so we missed the river cruise completely, and no compensation was given.
Thomas was very knowledgeable and informative.
We got lucky and had the tour all by ourselves! Our tour guide Marta was friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable of all things Florence! Would recommend to anyone! The wine at the end was nice as well 😉
What a wonderful experience ! Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us through great parts of Florence.
We really enjoyed our evening tonight on our wine windows tour. I liked learning Florence’s history and walking through areas that we haven’t been yet. The wine was excellent as well, highly recommend !
Fabio was fun and energetic with lots of information about the wine windows. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The tour is a leisurely walk around the city with information about all the wine windows and their history.
Saw so much of the city of Florence and learned so much about it! We had an olive oil tasting and a glass of wine. Got lots of recommendations for restaurants to try, neighborhoods and markets to explore, with little lessons on Italian phrases sprinkled throughout. It was an excellent introduction to the city on my first day here, definitely recommend!
We could not find the meeting point they changed meeting point and it was hard to find so we missed our tour. We asked for our money back and they declined. Not very happy with outcome.
What a fun tour. We had Gia ad our guide and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was just the two of us on tour this particular time so we got to ask all our questions! Wine and food was great. Highly recommend!
Greta was a very knowledgeable tour guide. You take a leisurely stroll through some of the less well known streets of Florence whilst hearing the history of the medici family, the wine windows and getting to sample authentic extra virgin olive oil from an expert maker as well as the wine window experience.
The meeting location is not clear, we took pictures and videos to dispute with cc company bc we could not find it. Tried to contact them and they said we were late, so the tour left. We were not late and have video to prove it. Very disappointed as we were looking forward to this. We saw the tour group at one of the windows and said we are supposed to be on this tour, the guide was rude and would not let us join in .. even tough people in the tour said it was the correct one.
Marta shared good info and it was a great evening for a walk. Loved the history and our reward was a glass of wine! Would recommend.
Our tour guide, Lorenzo, was great. Really appreciated his knowledge. Such a fun and unique experience! Loved it!!
Wonderful. Tour. Guide was excellent. Meeting site was a little confusing since the tour of Italy kiosk was not labeled
We had a great time on the tour! Tommy had tons of knowledge, not only on the stops along the tour but on many other things in between.
Lorenzo was a fantastic guide. Very friendly, full of great information and accommodating. The tour was just as good. Walking in neighborhoods that I had not yet been too was a bonus. The wine window was so fun.
This tour was a super enjoyable stroll around the city! Our guide was engaging and passionate about sharing his knowledge and love for the area. The information went well beyond wine windows, as our guide shared history, restaurant recommendations, and personal anecdotes. We learned so many new things! Highly educational with a glass of wine to boot- can’t really beat that! Highly recommend.
We did the route with Fabio and he explained things very well. We liked it a lot. We will repeat again. A hug from the Canary Islands
A very informative and fun 1 1/2 hour city walk with guide Thomas who grew up in Florence. We were taken to some more unknown places in Florence. And have tasted good olive oil and finished with a wine at one of the wine Windows in Florence. Highly recommended!
