The day was good however a couple of constructive feedback points for you 1) when I first looked at the trip the meeting point was at the end of the road the hotel was on, however your e-ticket and website made us go to the main bus station 20 mins tram ride away and the tour guide commented as I hadn’t checked in a Julian’s Bar, as everyone else had. 2) the second point is to do with the final leg of the trip in Siena, when it was pouring with rain and we were about to head back to the bus and the tour guides boss had come up with another great idea for the small cost of €3 everyone could get the trenino back to the bus, half the clients didn’t want to do this and we were made to stand in the rain getting wet whilst the main tour guide waited for the trenino to arrive before the walkers were allowed to set off on foot back to the bus. Had I not stepped up and asked for the walkers to be allowed to walk with a guide without waiting, we would of been soaked!

Having arrived in the Cortona area with very little planned I researched a few things to do. Finding this fabulous company was wonderful after emailing late (very late) on a Saturday evening Federica made everything happen seamlessly for a 10am pick up the following morning. We were met by a passionate bundle of energy called Francesco who proceeded to give us a fabulous walk through history and the process of growth and harvest on the way to our first stop. Francesco’s knowledge of the regions and the individual wines was extensive. He was and engaging and patient with our questions. Each vineyard was a contrast to the next, in regards to the process of winemaking. We were throughly relaxed and the day was full of laughter from start to finish. We truely can’t thank the team enough for giving us such a fabulous insight into the regions wines and countryside. If you’re ever in the area allow this business to look after you it is a must while in Tuscany. Ciao????

What an amazing day! It started with truffle hunting with Roberto and his two dogs - Ori and Chloe! We learned a lot about truffle hunting and how the dogs are trained. Chloe was 'in training' and it was fun to see how Roberto used both dogs. They found about 12 truffles in all of various sizes! Then we headed to a small family winery where we ate the fruits of our labor!!! We had a 4 course 'absolutely delicious' meal, tasted a lot of great wines, in addition to olive oil and honey! We even bought a bottle of wine to take with us and watched Sylvia add the DOCG label by hand (which are closely tracked by the region)! We had a great tour guide, Paelo, with us the entire day! He picked us us at our farmhouse, was our translator when needed, was very courteous and informative! I would highly recommend this very unique experience! And I would recommend Tuscany Private Tours. They were very easy to communicate with and very responsive!

When we arrived at the agency, we were told that our booking date was 2 days later, I made a silly mistake when I booked it online. We were disappointed as we were really excited to have the guided tour. The lady at the agency directly welcomed us with a smile and a found a solution for our tour to happen the very same day , 1h30 later with just the 2 of us. Our first impression was therefore very good and the guided tour confirmed our idea. Our guide, Elisona was very kind and took the time to explain the history of Montepulciano to us. We were impressed by the cellars and had a really good time. The second visit was the best (Crociani) for the kindness , the good bread, olive oil and cheese and of course , the good wine. Elisona even helped us to bring the wine to our car that was down the city. We recommend! Thank you for the kindness ! Maud and Jacques.

Only 7 people and the tour was by Van. The driver guided us during the drive but no guide joined us at our stop in Castellina. Professional presentations at the wineries. Especially at Poggio Amorreli with Andrea where we were treated with Spumante, one white and two red Chianti and one supertuscan. We also got bread, cheese, salami with their own balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The driver called for a taxi upon arrival in Florence ????

We had a fascinating morning with Alessandra, exploring Assisi and learning about its history. It's such a beautiful place, and Alessandra made it come alive for us. The 'Umbria con me' attention to detail was superb, and booking lunch for us at a local restaurant afterwards was a lovely touch.
