This was three hours so well spent. Demetra was the perfect combination of informative and entertaining all while teaching us not only about Florence’s history but also traditional food traditions. She led us to several fantastic food stops where we enjoyed cantucci, pasta, gelato and more.

We booked with Alessandro for a day trip from Florence to Siena and San gimignano as we were in Italy for my wife's business, so we decided to visit Tuscany for the third time. COVID wasn't a big deal yet, but the cities were practically deserted.. Alessandro was a delightful tour guide and host. (great with communications, reasonable price and very comfortable car and driver) Alessandro is extremely friendly, and it was a pleasure to meet him and have accompanied him around for the day. I don't know how he did it but every time we were leaving from anywhere, without even having to text him or look for him, he was there waiting for us with the door open! We were able to spend a really relaxing and enjoyable day touring the vineyards thanks to Alessandro so organized and professional! We love Florence!!!

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 ????

8. Florentine Fashion Private Tour

Piazza di Santa Trinita, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy Florence Tours by Made of Tuscany

This tour is an excellent appointment with the history of Fashion 'Made in Italy' and a unique occasion to understand the history and the creative genius of the GUCCI and FERRAGAMO families in Florence, by visiting the museums dedicated to the most famous fashion "maison" in the world! Italian fashion originates in Florence since Roman times and continues being famous by fabric merchants of the Middle Ages. The first fashion show in Italy took place in Florence in February 1951. Guccio Gucci was a real Florentine self made man and Salvatore Ferragamo chose Florence and Palazzo Feroni to set up his shoe factory in 1938, after coming back from Hollywood. His clients were Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn and Sofia Loren. Gucci Garden in the building of the Tribunal of the Florentine Merchants (14th century) and Palazzo Spini Feroni (13th century), the headquater of the Ferragamo Company are a must not to be missed! Tornabuoni fashion street is also part of this exclusive tour!

Inclusions: Professional guide, Private tour, Entrance Tickets

We booked a wine tour for half a day only the night before and received the confirmation following morning! The driver picked us up at our place in Siena with a very nice and comfortable car. Our driver was Roberto, who spoke very well English and is a very funny and nice guy! He could answer all our questions on Italian cuisine and culture in a very passionate way. The wineries we visited were as authentic as you could imagine and they let us try all their best wines! We had an amazing afternoon and wished we’d booked for the entire day. Wedriveyou.it is highly recommended by us and make sure you ask for Roberto!
