Best day ever! Marco.. I think he mentioned he was from Naples? 🤷🏻‍♀️ and Claudio looked after us so we'll. The tour is in the right order 1. old vineyard you imagine a vineyard to be like... 2.New energetic business Marco 2 as we called him and his staff were so helpful! 3. Castle at sunset was unreal! Thanks so much guys it was amazing! We're not even red wine drinkers!

This is a really impressive palace to visit with numerous exhibits on display so be sure not to miss them as they are located inside the walkways around the courtyard. If you have not a sore neck after visiting, you've not been looking at the building properly, as the ceilings are the stars of the show. There's just about everything you could wish for in a palace of this scale, art, furniture, sculpture, clocks, bronze, ceramic and beautifully painted and ornate ceilings. My ticket was part of the combination with the timed visit to the Uffizi, but go early to avoid the crowds.

We thoroughly enjoyed this small group tour. We visited two lovely wineries in Monterregioni where we tasted some wonderful wines. We also visited Castellina in Chianti (small museum) and then medieval village in the Tuscany hills.

Firstly they over booked so 6 people needed to get off. This delayed us a good half an hour in the heat. AC on bus well there wasn’t! They then rushed all the stops so they got back on time. The bus driver was speeding overtaking and driving dangerously. We chose this one over the 4wd one as it was much cheaper. Now o know why it was crap! Oh and the winery was in suburban area. Horrible

We had a great day visited two wineries, each with different stories and chianti wines, a must for chianti lovers and with a historical twist, great tour guides, excellent description and explanations of how and why the wines are made, Fantastic

The wine farms were amazing, but we were a little disappointed at the speed at which we were expected to go though them. The Monteriggioni experience should have been a highlight but we arrived far too late to export once the city. I would suggest this tour starts an hour earlier to get a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.

The destination is on our list of places we wanted to visit. The trip was exactly as described. Everywhere was very busy, but this added to the atmosphere. The combination of trains and boats for travelling from A to B was perfect with lots of opportunities for snacks and comfort breaks when needed. Each 'land' is unique and has different things to offer. Our guide, Marco, gave us lots of additional information about the different lands along with historical details. He was knowledgeable and friendly, spending time with each party member. We were a varied group both in age and nationalities.

Fabulous. Great tour. Lovely wives. Helpful and informative staff. Lovely food. Wonderful surroundings. Thank you!

I had a picture in my mind of what this experience would be like and my expectations were exceeded! Simone was great- educational and entertaining. The location and scenery could not be beat! My husband and I joined the class along with 2 other groups, one from Holland, the other from Australia. I feel like I have some useful new skills to take home with me. Thank you!

One of the most delightful tours I have ever experienced. Mattia is a wonderful gentlemen from the Parma region. Before providing tours, he used to work in Parmeggianno-Reggiano cheese factories so having him explain step by step what the owners and workers were doing and why was so insightful. He has very good rapport with the owners. I enjoyed learning about the backgrounds of each of the owners of the cheese and prosciutto factories… I understand better why it is a wonderful marriage of Passion and Tradition in producing world-renowned products. The ambience was so friendly. Mattis answered all our questions.Food tasting is always the best part and experiencing how different it tastes from whatever products are sold in North America. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I had great company from citizens of Australia, Germany, India and USA.

Great trip and lots to see. Wonderful wine tasting and delicious snacks. The guides were lovely and really knowledgable.

Simone the chef was great! And the scenery from this farmhouse was amazing! From the beginning Simone made us all feel like family, teaching us his grandmother's recipes and making sure our wine glasses were always full!

Nice tour. The Tourguide was nice and we all had fun. We were a group of 10 and got a bike for each couple. A must on your trip!

Second stop was the one. First stop was pretty but the host couldn't command the room and the whole experience was overly formal and flat. Second stop was amazing fun and really made the day!

It is best to print out your ticket from Expedia. The one you get through email that is written in Italian. Presented to the ticket office for your tickets and meal voucher. At the first stop you get to browse through the laboratory where scientists are finding ways to grow plants, and produce wines at altitude. You will be awarded with marvelous views as you walk around the botanical gardens. There is a restaurant at the first stop and also a buffet downstairs. Our tour included a meal at the top stop and the food was incredibly tasty. Very nice staff, limited English but enough to communicate effectively. We spent an about six hours in this experience. Self guided so research the area before you go up. You can also transfer to Chamonix and get to visit the aiguille de midi for an extra fee. Overall is a recommendation for everyone. Taxis are expensive to get back home and I would suggest to look at the bus schedule before you go up to plan your way home on time for reservations, etc. bus stop is to the left of the Monte Bianco ticket window or just ask they are very accommodating.
