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 ????

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!

This was our 2nd private tour that we did through Uniquetuscany (2017/2020). Our guide, Alessandro was very specific to the covid restrictions and offered us new masks during the day! He did a wonderful job explaining the history of the towns. Our highlight was the visit to Tuscany organic farm where we had our lunch with amazing view. We stopped at Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. There was a lot of walking and moving from in and out of the minivan so make sure you wear comfortable shoes. I definitely recommend this tour while visiting Florence since you get a lot of history while on the minivan to each town. Just not enough time in all the towns but 10 hours is a long day! still worth the trip! Highly recommended..

I had a wonderful experience at the Uffizi Gallery with my guide Irina. I thought the 49 euro ticket was extreeemely good value for what was provided, I was able to skip the queue and Irina provided a huge amount of information. She was engaging and enthusiastic and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Furthermore, Irina emailed me on all of the information that she had mentioned afterwards, so I have the memories and stories of the Uffizi Museum with me forever now. I would highly recommend a tour with Irina! (I was here over a year ago in July 2018!)

" 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!

We had a great time with Ben. A very gentle guy from London sharing with us his favourite adresses (churches, bar and restaurants) in Florence. We recommend the longer tour of 90min. This tour with golf cart allows to park very close to the different sights. This is a perfect way for a first panoramic tour in Florence. Ben is definitely a nice fellow!

My husband and I did this tour and it was fabulous - the driver was great and there were only four of us so you could talk away to the driver - we scooted through the city easily on the golf cart and it was such good fun and we saw loads of amazing stuff, I’d highly recommend this tour
