My husband and I did the wine and food sidecar tour with Tommie. I can honestly say this food and wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Tommie was absolutely wonderful. He was full of information and exceptionally kind and professional. The places he took us, the scenery we saw was breathtaking. He took us to a little winery where we did a tour and had the most delicious homemade lunch. Maurizio and Loretta were the sweetest people. The wine, the food... oh my! If you are in Florence, the sidecar tour is a must!!! At the end of the day, my soul felt revitalized. We plan on going back to Italy just to see Tommie and do another sidecar tour.

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!

Absolutely the best day I had while visiting Italy. Angel was our guide for the entire day. At the first winery we had the pleasure of starting the visit with a tour of the vineyard in a horse-drawn cart, followed by a fantastic lunch with km0 products. Visit to the village of Suvereto and finish with more wine in a family winery where they create one of the most appreciated wines in Italy. I can say with certainty that this day was one of, if not the best day of our vacation in Tuscany.

Firas certainly made this time top-notch: my husband and I went last summer (July 2019) and still list it as one of the best parts of our Italy trip. The tour was very fun and pretty comprehensive- a lot of driving for sure, but the scenery was gorgeous and we got to see a lot of parts of the countryside we definitely wouldn't have seen otherwise. The 4wheeler part was fairly tame, which worked out since I didn't have any experience on one, and even though neither my husband nor I know much about wine, they did a good job making it interesting. The food and wine was good, and the old town tour was great. The best part hands down, though, was the host. Firas was warm and welcoming, insightful and helpful, and generally made the trip and the time in the car very interesting. He answered all our questions with a lot of insight and was very patient. We had a lot of great conversation. He was, as I said, top notch.
