" What a wonderful introduction to Florence! Gianni went beyond our expectations as a foodie guide. Firstly he met us outside our accommodation and walked us to the start of the tour giving us insight to the streets of Florence along the way. He was so knowledgeable about the local history and shared this with us. He was happy to stop and let us take photos over the whole tour. The food places we visited were amazing! Gianni has a personal history with most of the store owners and introduced us as if we were his family. We were made to feel so welcome and spoilt at every destination. From local markets to an exquisite wine cellar and gelatos to finish, this tour had it all! I highly recommend this tour to everyone who loves food and as a great introduction for first time visitors to Florence. Love this city and we loved Gianni! Thank you!

Christian helped make our Florence experience memorable! My husband and I traveled throughout Italy with our two young children ( 8 and 5 years old) and they were so excited for their Fiat tour. They were the only kids on the tour but Christian made sure it fun and educational for them. The whole group was inviting and it was great to get to meet people from all around the world! My kids can not wait to travel more and still talk about how awesome the tour was. I highly recommend this tour with or without kids. We were taken to scenic views throughout Tuscany and even had to maneuver through the streets of Florence in a super fun classic Fiat. Everywhere we drove people would stop and wave because of the group of Fiats brought joy to everyone! This was the best tour we took in Italy and when we come back for a visit we are definitely doing it again! (Our tour was pre-covid)

It was a nice walk around the city, and the guide was also very nice. I think it was somewhat lacking in information, like the tour could have been a bit more filled with nuggets of information... But maybe i'm just picky! it was a rainy day so part of the time we were sheltering from rain :)

We had a very pleasant stay at the Castel Montalcino and enjoyed the view from the property a lot. It was especially nice as we could benefit from a private tour. We‘d definitely recommend it as a drive-by tour, thanks again for the hospitality!

We booked a wine tour for half a day only the night before and received the confirmation following morning! The driver picked us up at our place in Siena with a very nice and comfortable car. Our driver was Roberto, who spoke very well English and is a very funny and nice guy! He could answer all our questions on Italian cuisine and culture in a very passionate way. The wineries we visited were as authentic as you could imagine and they let us try all their best wines! We had an amazing afternoon and wished we’d booked for the entire day. Wedriveyou.it is highly recommended by us and make sure you ask for Roberto!
