Simone was outstanding!! Provided great recommendations and was extremely knowledgeable during our tour. His winery recommendations were great as well as a stop in Greve in Chianti at the local butcher shop. Amazing food and wine all day based on his suggestions. Our family highly recommends this tour with Simone. His air conditioned vehicle was also great.

Simone was my driver. Pick up was on time. We went to small towns along the way to the first winery. Wine and food was excellent. After the first winery, we made more stops to small towns with beautiful views and shopping. Next vineyard was truly an experience. Wine tasting excellent and the owner very entertaining. The entire day was filled with amazing wine, food, and service from Simone. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough positive things about this tour. We had a wonderful time with our driver guide and had a great combination of visiting small towns and wine tastings. We also had an amazing lunch. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and made it a great experience. We were traveling in a family with a small child and everything went very smoothly.
