Last minute Tuscany visit - We were in Florence for a work meeting and decided to take a day trip to Tuscany and taste wine. We booked just the afternoon before. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and our conversation with Luca. Our lunch at the winery was spectacular and a highlight of our whole trip. The views were amazing, the wine fantastic and the homemade pasta perfection! I would highly recommend!

Thank you Luca. Look forward to seeing you next year. Take care - Luca was our tour guide to the Poggio Antico Winery. Had a great time. Luca is a very safe driver, he is very professional, very knowledgeable of the region, and fun to hang with for a day. Would definitely recommend this tour to others. A good get away for a day from the busy Florence.

An amazing tour - We had an amazing day doing wine tasting and soaked under the Tuscany sun. We learned so much about Brunello wine. Our guide, Tommaso, is very friendly, fun, and talkative. On the way back to Florence, he taught us to sing “Volare” in Italian. What a great way to end a pleasure tour!

Amazing Full Day Wine Tour - We had an amazing experience on our full day wine tour with Luca! We had 14 people and he accommodated us greatly with 2 vans. We stopped at 2 wineries, and had a beautiful lunch/wine pairing at the first stop. Luca was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions related to Florence’s history and wine making. His English was excellent, and he brought us to a beautiful overlook of the city to start the tour, as well as a cute local town outside of Florence. He was timely and very kind- I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a good time!
