      Best Sidecar experience!
      This sidecar experience was the highlight of our family Trip. Tommy and his guys were so much fun and taught us history on our way to the most beautiful vineyard. Stop what you are doing and book this excursion with them. You will love it!

      Exceptional
      Fantastic! This is a must do tour! It was so much fun! The ride through Tuscan hills to Chienti was fabulous! Tommy the owner was a brilliant guide! The family winery and restaurant serves great lunch n wines! This is by far better than going on a bus wine tour with 60 others! Do this tour for sure!

      An amazing experience that is well worth it.
      Our tour guides were very informative and made the experience so great that we will remember this for a lifetime. Plan on buying some wine to have it shipped back to your country. Don't pass on the grappa, it's really light and complementary and ilthe end of the tour.

      Touring Chianti in a vintage FIAT! What a great time.
      We had an incredible time touring the Chianti Classico with Gilberto and his classic Fiat. The wineries selected were great contrasts in style but both were incredible. We got to see the smaller villages around Florence in such a cool way. Seriously was a great time!

      Great Tour, Wine, and Lunch
      We booked the day tour through Tuscany with a stop at two wineries and lunch; we also visited Greve. Our trip through the Chianti region with Giovanni was excellent. We booked a small group tour, but it ended up just being the two of us with Giovanni. Our guide is a sommelier and gave us great information about the wine and region. The wineries were small, family run businesses, and they were great. The lunch we had was probably the best we had during our entire stay in Italy. The wineries offered to ship the wine and olive oil that we purchased (for a small fee), which made traveling home so much easier. This tour ranks as one of the best we’ve taken anywhere, and I highly recommend it!

      Fantastic guide and wine
      This was a great day. Our guide, Simone, was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, all of those. We learned so much from him. The first winery—organic and small—was just terrific. Again, the owner/winemaker was terrifically open and knowledgeable. His wines are really lovely. His farm stay was so inviting that I’m sure we’ll be back. The second winery was good, not great. The lunch was quite nice, and the wines were also very good (albeit a bit expensive). It was a good experience, just not as personal as the first. I really can’t say enough good things about this company.

      Wonderful guide, wonderful wine, wonderful tour!
      We chose the Vernaccia and Saffron in San Gimignano tour based on my wife's love of white wine and after careful comparison of itineraries and reviews of tours from Florence. All that research paid off: Tommy is an outstanding, attentive & and informative guide with perfect English and extensive local knowledge. Both wineries we visited were beautiful and produced excellent wines, and our lunch was excellent (and I'm not a huge fan of saffron). San Gimignano is a gorgeous and fascinating town (be sure to visit the Dondoli Gelateria -- probably the best gelato we've ever had). We highly recommend touring with DeGustibus, and we will definitely be taking another tour with them on our next visit to Florence!

      Fun Family Experience
      My husband and I took our two sons (8 and 6) on the morning tour with Tommaso and Gilberto. It was a great way to experience Florence as a family. I’d recommend this particular tour to get familiar with the city and see what lies just outside the busy tourist area. On our trip, a surprisingly strong thunderstorm rolled through and we took shelter in a church, adding even more excitement to the experience. Once the storm passed Tommaso and Gilberto outfitted us in raincoats and the ride continued! Such a fun time that our family will remember always.

      Don't miss this fabulous wine tour
      I can't recommend De Gustibus highly enough. Tommaso was the perfect guide, incredibly informative and great company. The wineries we visited were a very special experience, we didn't feel uncomfortable although we knew very little about wine and had never been wine tasting before. The choices of stunning scenery, amazing food and wine and great company made it a day we won't forget.

      De Gustibus was wonderful to work with & the wine delicious!
      We had a great experience with Gilberto (fabulous driver & guide) and De Gustibus. We visited 2 wonderful wineries, walked around Montalcino for a bit (satisfying my husband's desire to see a medieval town), and just had great wine, conversation and food. Both wineries were small and felt very intimate and personalized. We stopped and got to do the view over Piazzale Michelangelo on our way back into town. Very easy communicating with them to get it set up, picked us up at a location closer to our hotel and ended up just being the 5 of us so felt like a private tour. I highly recommend reaching out to De Gustibus and doing a tour with them. You won't regret it!

      Two Wonderful Small Wineries; Exceptional Tour Guide!
      We chose this tour because we wanted to focus on Brunello di Montalcino wines, and it was fantastic! We learned so much from the winemakers about their biodynamic winemaking processes and the wines themselves. Our hosts at each winery were warm, welcoming and generous with their time, and it was fascinating to talk to them and hear about their experiences. The wine and food all tasted great, and Montalcino and the Tuscan landscape provided the perfect environment. I can’t say enough good things about our guide, Tommaso – an outstanding guide with extensive knowledge that he was happy to share with us. He is obviously passionate about his work, about Tuscany, and about promoting the region's small wineries. During the beautiful drive from Florence through the Tuscan countryside (and also as we wandered through the center of Montalcino), he told us about the area and provided explanations about what we were seeing along the way and what we would see at each winery. It was also a great opportunity to ask questions and have interesting discussions about a wide variety of topics. We enjoyed his company tremendously! I can’t say enough good things about this tour or about Tommaso – it was definitely a highlight of our time in Tuscany! I recommend this tour to anyone looking to spend the day immersed in Montalcino wine culture with an exceptional tour guide who feels like a friend by the end of the day.

      Start your wining -- don't miss the Chianti Classico experience!
      Fun, informative, and full of excellent wine (and food!), the Chianti tour is well worth the day trip out of Florence and into the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Tommaso was our amiable guide, able to speak about the history of the region, facts about the wine (he's a sommelier in addition to a tour guide) and the sights we passed along the way. Before booking, I was hesitant about a full day trip that only included two (unnamed) wineries. But with literally hundreds of wineries to choose from in Chianti, it makes sense that Tommaso changes it up from one tour to the next -- it not only spreads the love across many different wineries, it also keeps his own interest. Moreover, the visits themselves are *immersive* and unlike the more corporate wine crawls one might experience in Napa. Both wineries were family-run affairs where you meet the winemaker themselves, tour the cellar(s), and stroll the stunningly beautiful grounds/vineyard. We also met some cows. It's worth mentioning the homemade Tuscan lunch was the best meal we had in Florence and paired with, as expected, equally incredible wine. Highly recommended and encouraged -- a true highlight to our trip.

      Feel the wind your face and view Tuscany in a different light!!!
      In my recent trip to Florence, I came across this Vintage Sidecar Motorcycle Tour. For anyone who is looking for a unique way to experience Florence and a wine tour in Tuscany, this is a must!!! I had the pleasure to have Gilberto as my tour guide, whose knowledge and history of Tuscany is outstanding. He was able to answer all my questions about Florence and Tuscany. Especially enjoyed the history of Chianti Classico symbol. Gilberto is a great person and tour guide. From the moment I purchase the trip to the moment I met Gilberto, he was in constant communication to ensure all my questions and concerns were answered. The winery was a treat, tasting local delicious wines and foods. Sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty of Tuscany in a unique and awesome way.

      Amazing Experience
      My husband and I did the wine and food sidecar tour with Tommie. I can honestly say this food and wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Tommie was absolutely wonderful. He was full of information and exceptionally kind and professional. The places he took us, the scenery we saw was breathtaking. He took us to a little winery where we did a tour and had the most delicious homemade lunch. Maurizio and Loretta were the sweetest people. The wine, the food... oh my! If you are in Florence, the sidecar tour is a must!!! At the end of the day, my soul felt revitalized. We plan on going back to Italy just to see Tommie and do another sidecar tour.
