We had Massimo as a driver. He did a fabulous job!! So friendly and easy going. Very knowledgeable about many things in the area. We had an amazing wine tasting experience with an awesome view of the Tuscan countryside.
Alex was amazing! We had a full day in the Chianti and surrounding areas. We stopped at 2 wineries and a couple small towns that were beautiful! Alex knew the area well and shared his local knowledge with us throughout the day. I would highly recommend this tour!
The best experience! Informative guide; beautiful countryside; exceptional wineries and gracious people. 10 out of 10 recommend.
Our trip was amazing! Alex is a wonderful person he is really a great guide and such a nice guy. The wineries were both great. The lunch and wine at the second winery was amazing If we are in Florence again we will book something else with you and Alex. I will continue to use your company for all my travel clients!
We had such a wonderful time with our driver, Massimo! He was so educated, imformative and engaging! We highly recommend this company. In fact, we had such a great time that we ended up booking another tour with him!
We were met by Alex (our driver/guide). Alex was friendly and knowledgeable . He actually lived in the same city that we are from for a few years. We had and enjoyable day with a pleasant drive and a wine tasting, lunch and another wine tasting ( later in the day). We visited Castellina and San Gimignano. A relaxed and enjoyable day. Alex made the trip even more enjoyable.
If you love wine and want to learn about the Chianti region, we highly recommend booking a private guided tour with Massimo - it will be the highlight of your time in Italy. Massimo‘s knowledge of the Italian wine regions is vast and his enthusiasm is infectious. He took us to several charming small towns we would have never otherwise known about. But best of all, Massimo introduced us to two very special small family wineries that were fabulous. Each winery presented their wonderful wines with a food pairing that was exquisitely prepared and perfectly complimented each wine. Massimo took the time to get to know us and then tailored the day perfectly to suit our specific interests. Throughout the day, Massimo also provided ample free time for us to explore both the towns and the winery experiences on our own. Although Massimo was our guide, by the end of the day it felt like he was an old friend we’d known for years. We can’t recommend Massimo highly enough!
We had a great time with our tour guide. We really enjoyed the family owned vineyard that we stopped into!
Massimo is a wonderful tour guide. Very accommodating The stops were all fantastic. I highly recommend this trip
This is the ultimate way to experience Tuscany and the Chianti region. From the mid-evil towns to the endless rolling hills and it terrific vineyards, we had an amazing and memorable experience. Our tour guide Alex was knowledgeable and informative. His understanding of the history and geography along with his command of the English language, for an Italian native, were impressive. Of the two vineyards we visited Corbucci was by far our favorite. The owner Francisco was a spectacular host not only sharing his wine but the story behind each vintage. The flavors were wonderful and our time there is something we won’t soon forget. Especially since we’ll have several bottles to enjoy when we get back home.
Massimo was an excellent tour guide!! He tailored our experience to what we wanted , found nice wineries for us to visit, and took us to some neat small towns. He shared lots of information about the area and culture, and answered lots of our questions. He gave us great local restaurant recommendations. He even returned a lost item from the van the next day!! Highly recommend!
Good afternoon Max, I wanted to send this note of thanks while our experience was still fresh in our mind. Your service starts and ends with your drivers. Our driver, Massimo, made our time here in Florence unforgettable! His promptness, personality, knowledge of the area, as well as English, were unsurpassed. He was so helpful and patient with us, which put me at ease. Not everyone can walk at a quick pace but he was so understanding and comforting that we enjoyed our time even more. He was very punctual and accommodating since the concert didn’t end till almost 1:00 am. By the time the lines let out, it was nearly 2:30 when we were back at the hotel. I asked we delay the scheduled pick up for later and he was more than happy to oblige. Chianti tour was great! Again, very interesting facts about the region as well as the winemaking too. We’ve been to your fair city before but, this past two days make the previous visits pale in comparison. Thanks for your service and if we are in the area in the future, you will handle our logistics. Sincerely, Charles and Toni
Massimo was an outstanding guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive to our needs and flexible to our desires. We absolutely loved our family winery tour—he could not have chosen better winery for our wine tour experience. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal tour experience.
We did a day trip from Florence and we had such a great time!! Our guide, Massimo was one of a kind. He absolutely made our trip. He is extremely knowledgeable about all topics, gave us history notes, restaurant and attraction recommendations and was extremely personable! We were tired out from planning our trip so it was very nice to be able to just get into the car and let them take us on their planned route. We drove through Tuscany, stopped for pictures along the way, went to San Gimignano, stopped in a small village, had lunch at a winery, and made a stop in Greve as well. This was a very fun and relaxing day I would highly recommend it.
Max helped us arrange a wine tour and transfer from Florence to Montepulciano. Sonny, our driver, was professional, delightful and very informative. The wine tour and lunch pairing is not to be missed.
Our wine tour of Chianti was beautiful. We can’t say enough nice things about our guide Massimo. Casa Emma had an amazing food/ wine pairing. It was a great experience for the family.
Mossimo was a great tour guide. He took us to awesome wineries with good food. They were smaller boutique wineries which we loved, and took us to stop in a few small towns as well. Would def recommend!
We had a fabulous private tour (7 adults) starting with a pick up in a very comfortable Mercedes van and a very friendly driver Sonny from our hotel in Florence with a stop in the beautiful city of Siena. Then off to a private lunch and wine tour at Castello Monerinaldi Winery. Everything Max arranged for us was perfect. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend the Tuscany in Tour comapny.
Outstanding. Massimo was an excellent guide who was knowledgeable and willing to fine tune the tour to our specific needs. I can’t recommend this highly enough.
Massimo, the guide was excellent. We did the tour at our own speed and Massimo showed us exactly what we wanted to see and do. San Gimignano is a must see !
We had a beautiful day exploring the Tuscan countryside and visiting amazing wineries. Our guide Aldo was so knowledgeable and took us to some amazing views. It was the best day!
From our first inquiry, Max was quick to respond and accommodated our schedule, which included a cruise, as well as land activities. Arriving in Florence, we were met and taken to our excellently located hotel (booked by Max). The next day, our private guide took us on an individualized tour including Pisa, several stops, and the highlight, a tour of a family owned winery and tasting, which resulted in the purchase of a case of wine shipped to our home. The next day, another highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide took us on a walking tour including a visit to see David. We learned so much and saw everything on our list, all without lines or wasted time. After being driven to the train station, we were personally seated in our first class seats to Naples, where another guide was waiting to take us to the cruise port. Following our cruise, we were again met in Venice and transferred by private water taxi to our hotel booked by Max in San Marco Square. The next day, our Italian guide took us on a tour by water taxi through various waterways and canals, all the while explaining what we were seeing in a colorful, entertaining way, followed by a walking tour and private Murano glass-blowing demonstration (again resulting in a shipment to our home). Our unforgettable trip concluded with a return water taxi to the airport. Max handled all the details in a prompt, professional manner, at a reasonable cost. The guides were the best we have met anywhere. Tuscany in Tour has our highest reccomendation!
We recently did a private all day tour of the Chianti region and it was one of our favorite days in Italy. First, our guide Massimo was wonderful. He was very personable and entertaining. We were in Europe for 3 weeks and did about a dozen tours and the guides with great personalities really stood out. Massimo was definitely at the top of our list in terms of tour guides. He was very memorable (I'm having trouble remembering at least half our guides names just a couple weeks later), but he definitely stood out. First he took us to Montefioralle, a charming old village lined with cute little shops. He let us roam around for an hour or so by ourselves after showing us to one of the best gelato places we visited in Italy. We liked that he gave us some time on our own to explore and do some shopping. Then he took us to a small, family-owned winery called Casa Emma where we had lunch (with wine of course). The meal was probably one of the best we had in Italy and the staff was incredibly friendly. We loved the wine and ended up shipping a case home. We then went to another winery (the name now escapes me), but it too was good. We sat outside looking over the rolling hills of Tuscany, sipping wine and munching on the charcuterie plate they brought us. It was so quiet and peaceful. We also really liked the wine and bought some to take with us which we ended up drinking throughout our trip. We then went to Greve and roamed around a bit on our own, stopping in a cool butcher shop and loading up on cured meats. On the way back to Florence, Massimo took us up to Piazzale Michelangelo where we got a really good view of the city before being dropped off at our hotel.
Amazing tour - if you are in Florence for a few days - take this tour, we visited 2 wineries in one afternoon, tasting 8 amazing wines! Freddie was our guide & was just the best guide you could ask for - so knowledgeable about literally everything Florence! we left Florence at 2:30 - back at 7pm....met the the loveliest people on our tour and the people introducing us to their wines were very friendly & welcoming...happy to have us - best of times/best of fun & best of wines! DO IT!
Many thanks to Max for coordinating our tour with Fabio. On relatively short notice we were able to book a private wine tasting tour for five. Fabio met us at the train station in Florence. Having a sommelier lead our tour around Chianti was a true treat. Fabio schooled us in the region’s wine, and took us to some out of the way vineyards where we were at times the only guests, able to have the full, personal attention of the estate representatives. We learned a lot, got to see some of the most beautiful countryside, and were able to enjoy our day trip from Rome in the most comfortable of vehicles with the most accommodating tour guide. Max and Fabio also personalized their usual Chianti tour just for us, adjusting the schedule so we could also do a short tour of Florence before taking our late afternoon train back to Rome. Communication ahead of the trip and on the morning of our arrival was impeccable. It was easy to find our guide upon arrival. A truly gorgeous day in Tuscany for a very, very fair price. We won’t think twice about doing it again!
On our trip to Italy we had the dream of knowing Tuscany. I realized that a conventional tour would not suit us and met researching companies that could help us organize a special day. I spent a few months talking to Max who was wonderful and super patient. I knew exactly what I wanted. On the appointed day and time we were picked up at our hotel to live the most beautiful experience of our visit to Italy. First I need to talk about the driver who accompanied us, Massimo. He was perfect. Mega punctual, polite and deeply acquainted with Tuscany. I can't think of anyone better to take this walk. Max speaks a little Spanish from Portuguese because he has already come to our country. Couldn't be better. The car he was driving was super comfortable and we were taken to more than special places. We know a 13th-century castle that has a wonderful view of Tuscany. That was a big surprise that we loved. We visit wonderful places and know other wonderful views. The day passed without even realizing. Everything was very perfect and I thank Max and Massimo very much for this wonderful experience. Those who want to know the true Tuscany hire Tuscany in Tour!
