Learned a lot about wine and what I like and don't like! 2012-01-10 Ellen , Very good, the two tour guides were wonderful. They provided just the right amount of information and fun during the tour. 2012-01-08 alice , What a great experience! From our guide, William, and the beautiful scenery on the bus trip, to Sylvia at the castle and the wine tasting, it was all excellent. The trip is highly recommended. 2012-01-07 rocky , This tour was amazing. The bus picked us up right outside the train station which was so convenient. The winery guide was absolutely amazing. You could tell she truly loved her job, and made the tour perfect. The wine and food and stories were out of this world. Would do it again in a second! 2012-01-05 Erin H , We had a great time, the wine was awesome, the goodies are affordable in the shop at the end of your tour! This made traveling to Florence so awesome, probably more culturally preserved than Rome! I'd go again, why not? 2012-01-02 Sharday W , It was fantastic! We had a blast. It was the perfect way to get out of Florence for a few hours and see the countryside. We had a little trouble because we couldn't print the vouchers, but they were fine since we had the numbers. 2011-12-12 Maya C , This was my first wine tasting and it was amazing. I loved this experience and would do the same one again. The snacks and wine portions were perfect. They even gave you a taste of the olive oil they make and it was so good I had to buy a bottle to take home. It's always nice to know what you are eating and where it came from. 2011-12-03 Heather L , This was a great tour! One of the highlights of my vacation in Italy. Driving through the Tuscany area was amazing. Had a great time on the tour and getting to know others on vacation during the wine tasting. Also enjoyed the second stop in the town and the wine tasting at the wine shop. 2011-11-14 Jenny , The trip was fabulous! The tour guide was very informative I think her name was bernice, cant really remember her name after all the wine (which there was a good amount of). The wine and food was awesome, could not have asked for better scenery. Would do it again tomorrow! 2011-11-07 Kathryn O ,
