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????

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 ????

Teresa, our private guide was friendly and knowledgeable. She drove our family of 5 from Singapore in a big comfortable Mercedes van. She was a safe and careful driver. Teresa was professional throughout and gave us background information and history of places we visited or passed on the way. She helped us to book a restaurant we wanted for lunch at Siena. We ended the day a little later but she was cheerful to the end. I would recommend her tour.

Everything was planned by Max. I had a few issues few days before this trip, because Venice, our last leg of this trip, has just experienced the record setting flood, and I was worried and didn’t want to go through with it. Anyway, Max said to wait, and that he’ll be ready if ever i decide to change itinerary. Anyway, with Massimo as our driver throughout our 7days stay in Florence, doing daytrips to different places of Montalcino, Montepulciano, Sienna, Chianti, Pisa and of course some shopping at The Mall, everything was seamless, as Massimo is very knowledgeable and always on time. Max also arranged for our tour in Venice and Vicenza. It was a wonderful Christmas vacation in Florence and Venice. Everything was taken cared of. Thank you, Max and Massimo...
