Perfect half day wine trip - You can’t beat this for the price. You get out of the city and see more of the surrounding countryside. The 2 wineries that were selected were both great! Tentua Torciano and Villa Pozzo were both great locations and people.

Beautiful half day in Tuscany. - Our trip with Cecily and Rafael was delightful. The ride itself was enjoyable to see outside the city, and the wineries were a nice opportunity to see two different types of productions. Each were unique and had different vibes. Tastings were generous and food that accompanied were nice. Good value for the money. Fun day!

You must request Lelo! - Really good! The presenter at the first spot, Lelo, is a MUST. Great guy, excellent speaker, very funny! He was awesome and the wine here was spectacular. Second spot was good, noisier and wine not quite as good. Bus ride was beautiful, but we had an Asian lady speaking broken Italian and it did not add to the trip. Lelo + his winery made the four stars!

Good experience - Well organised tour. First winery was not as good as the second in terms of information and experience. Both in lovely setting and the bus tour guide was friendly and informative.

Wine tour - We spent so much time on the bus. 1 hour to drive to the first place, then only got to spend about 30 minutes there and only served three different wines which was about two sips each. Then drive about another hour and spend about 30 minute again and then back on the bus for another hour back. It would have been great to tour different parts of the vineyard, taste more wines and just enjoy the views.

Look elsewhere - The tour is not worth the time. On the bus for over 2.5 hours with travel time. Short times actually spent at the wineries. No comment on how the wine is made, no tour of their facilities. Not a lot of explanation on the Chianti/Tuscany region nor the history of its rich wine making culture. Our tour guide unfortunately spoke broken English and difficult to understand.

Disappointed - Nice wineries but was not as described. We felt rushed consistently. We were told what wines we would try but then they didn’t let us try all and out of the 8 wines we only tried 3-4. We spent at least an hour on the bus before the first tour not 40 mins and our tour guide struggled with English even though we booked an English guide. I read all the reviews prior to booking and what I attended was not the 5 star reviews and i am utterly disappointed as we were looking forward to it and getting some time at some beautiful wineries
