An absolutely amazing day out in the Tuscan Hills! Also a little visit to Vinci along the way (the home of Leonardo Da Vinci) Emilia was a fantastic tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and had a smile on her face throughout :) Would do this tour again in a heartbeat! Many Thanks for such a wonderful day, Samuel and David.

Leave Florence behind for the day on a trip to see the wonderful towns of Pisa and Lucca.  You head first for Pisa to see the Piazza dei Miracoli where your guide will tell youabout the marvelous buildings that surround the square.  There is the Baptistery, the Duomo and of course the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. After Pisa a short drive brings you to the town of Lucca, a walled town, less famous than Pisa but an absolute jewel. Here you will have some free time to explore this quaint town before returning to Florence.

The only authentic wine tour in Lucca. Two wineries. Two different ways of making wines, different opinions, and different methods, but united by the same aim: producing the best wine of Lucca. I will pick you up at your accommodation with my van, and I will drive you through the hills of Tuscany. For every winery we will visit the cellar where you will discover all the secrets about Tuscan wine, thanks to the explanations and the life stories of the farmers. Than, you will taste 3 wines of the production. Every wine will be matched with products from the garden and some specialties, like finocchiona or pecorino cheese, plus a final dessert... a dip in the Tuscan table culture! You won't be hungry :) "It's not just drinking wine: we want to make you know the real Tuscany and to tell you the story of our roots" N.B.: ! The price includes the transportation and the guided tour, but not the cost of the tastings: you will pay 15€ per person at every winery, directly on the spot !

Inclusions: Private transportation, Guided Tour on the hills of Tuscany, Bottled water

Exclusions: Snacks, Alcoholic Beverages

We used Tommaso for a ladies trip to Tuscany in September. He provided airport transfers to and from Pisa to our hotel in Florence as well as a half day tour in Chianti with some stops for wine tasting. Tommaso and his colleague were punctual, extremely friendly and helpful, spoke very good English and offered very competitive rates. I would recommend him to anyone needing transport in the area. Thank you for a brilliant few days!

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 ????
