This was a magical experience, we will remember it forever! My girlfriend and I were staying in Castiglione della Pescaia and didn't have a car, so at Tuscany Private Tour they tailored the whole program to our needs. They sent Filippo to pick us up from right below our airbnb, and he took us to different vineyards and borghi in the area and told us about the history of these places. He was extremely professional but also very friendly and receptive to our needs. He told us he also organises tours of Tuscany by bike and this is something we will definitely consider doing with him in the future. We would highly recommend him and the agency if you want to experience something special that you won't forget.
