About this activity

Leave Santa Maria Novella station in Florence, and travel with your guide away from the city and into the Tuscan hills. Your first stop is the hilltop town of Montefioralle. Explore its charming narrow streets, lined with centuries-old buildings, and visit the castle, which lends itself to sweeping views over the Chianti area.

After your castle visit, head down the hill to Greve in Chianti, the region’s main town. Enjoy some free time to explore on your own; don’t miss the town’s market if you visit on a Saturday. Otherwise, speak to your guide to arrange an optional tasting of wine or olive oil.

Meet back with your guide at a prearranged time, and travel to your final stop at a authentic Tuscan winery. Here, you’ll sample the famous Chianti wine, made from a mix of sangiovese grapes.

K. We were contacted to tell us that our half day tour had been canceled and whether we would like a reimbursement or to change it for a full day tour at no additional price. We chose not to cancel as I had researched this and was already in Italy. We later found out that they had tried to cancel the other couples tour but they said no so I guess that is why they gave us the option. I would say that Simon was a very nice person but we had a hard time hearing him in the back seat of the van and my sister went to the front to sit so that she could hear him. We also had a bit of a problem understanding him but that was okay as we could make most of it out when we could hear him. The region and wineries he took us were excellent and were we had lunch, was excellent. I am glad that they offered the change because I would have missed this part of Tuscany if we had done the original half day tour and for that I am thankful even though we missed exploring Florence city. Overall, the tour was very nice and if they don't change people's plans, it would be perfect. It would be nice if they realized that one plans this ahead of time and we cannot change just because they do not have enough people.

We had a wonderful tour with our group of four. Our guide Giacomo was great! The wine tasting at Casa Emma was nice and the Tuscan scenery can't be beat!

We set this up the day before, and it was off season. Guide was nice but did not engage us and provided little information. Our first stop, a wine tour and tasting, was closed. Why did't the guide call ahead? Instead we went to a local butcher shop Falorno and that turned out to be great. We sampled Italian meets and wine. Next step was to Castelio Monterinaldi for wine tasting. Our guide, Beatrice, was outstanding, giving us a great tour of the winery, explaining wine making, and then a nice tasting experience! Out last stop was an evening tour of a small hill top village. Interesting and enjoyable, but the guide did not offer any insights. Overall, I would recommend the tour.
