I booked a trip to Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano. The tour completely left out Montalcino and the tour guide acted like he didn’t know we were supposed to go there. We left from Siena and went to a small winery in Lornano, in Chianti, the opposite direction of the 3 towns we were supposed to visit. Very disappointing tour.

It was a wonderful, educational evening with new friends. The lesson was informative and useful. The food was delicious and the company excellent!

Beautiful day visit at the medieval site with a beautiful shops and walk. Thank you for Intrepid tours taking us here to enjoy.

Absolutely fantastic!!!! Siena Italy was beautiful and the class was awesome!! Highly recommend!! The chef was phenomenal!! His assistants were awesome.. just a great experience

We found the Luculus Ice in Bratslava when we were there on a tour in September. It had the best gelato we had ever tasted!! I had Pistachio and Nutella flavors! Yum Yum!!! My husband had Makaco Almonds Carmel & White Chocolate!! They have a nice little patio we sat at to enjoy the gelato!! We'd rate it a 10/10!!

Huge group tours are not my thing, the 2 vineyards we visited were very different the firat felt like a sales tour, the second was fun and they made a real effort to include everyone. Then a random trip to a castle when the weather was awful, seemed to be an exercise tonget us all to spend money in the small bar there. Overall it was ok but not my thing

This class was great. Simone the chef was outstanding. Everyone had a opportunity to be part of the cooking. Along with Simone showing us how to prepare the menu but he was also very entertaining as well. The one thing that was very frustrating about this tour is that we were given wrong directions from Viator and we arrived about two hours late. There was another couple that bought the same tour from Viator and ran into the issues as we did. Simone just came right over to us worked with us and get us up to speed with the other attendees. Thanks to Simone for making this class so much fun and waiting for us the to hours we were lost.

I’ve had the opportunity to do another large scale bus tour through the Chianti wine region so it was hard to not compare to this one. I felt the wineries we visited were best suited for those who have no wine experience. I understand the large scale tours have partnerships with wineries who will take large groups, but I was hoping one of the stops would be more authentic and offer views of the vineyard but both wineries were more of tourist stop. For those who know a bit about wine, spending a bit more money would be worth your time to ensure you get to visit more classic takes on Chianti wineries. Coming from Canada, the wineries felt like the ones at home which offer great experiences for first-timers but not best recommended for those with previous interest. The tour was rushed at each stop which became a joke between all tour goers but does affect the experience. To also note, pay attention to the pick up point - it is 25 minutes from the main station which led to a very squished train ride home. I luckily was English speaking but this tour is also offered in Spanish and both wineries the host did not know Spanish so I felt bad for the attendees who were expecting a Spanish tour. Overall, good tour for those who have never done a wine tour before but I would not recommend for someone with wine experience.

Overall a nice wine testing tour in Brunello. First we visited an organic winery that also grew other things and have their own bee farm and made their own honey. We tasted four lovely wines. The also make a super Tuscan. One Brunello was so good so we ordered some to be sent home. Then we went to Montalcino town and had som free time there. It was to late for lunch (most restaurants in Italy stop serving lunch at 14:00) and we were glad that we had som light lunch before the tour started. Last an other winery also with very good wine whish we tasted four of. We were back in San Giminignano 20:45 in the evening. Why did we give four and not five stars? We think the tour is wrong planed in time. It started 13:00 and should take 6,5 hrs. Were back after 8 hrs. It the tour had started at 11:00 instead, then the first winery and after that lunch in Montalcino we would have been back in a reasonable time at night.

Luciano excellent guide, empathetic, punctual and very pleasant company. Well organized tour, the hosts in the wineries are kind and well prepared.Thank you !!!

We booked an English guided tour and received none of what Viator advertised. No guide, and the driver could not speak a word of English. I actually feel bad for the driver. After showing up late, he took us to our first destination and simply dropped us off and pointed in the direction we were supposed to walk. It took a few minutes of hand gestures to figure out when he wanted us back to the van. We immediately contacted Viator in the hopes of resolving the issue. But to our surprise, Viator said they were unable to get any response from the local company that they were using. They did however confirm that we were not receiving what we paid for. It was a small group tour that cost just over $400 per couple. All three couples on the tour complained mid tour. And we all received the exact same response. “Sorry, you are right that you were supposed to have an English guide. Sorry. We will give you a $40 return. Can we help with any other tours?” Seriously. 10% return for a tour that delivered nothing of what was advertised and then they had the nerve to try and sell us another tour. On a somewhat humorous side. All three couples received the exact same response. Almost as if it was pre programmed. We’ve held off on this review to give Viator time to make good on their product. They asked us to wait three days. It’s now day four and still radio silence. In an attempt to help others avoid this one at all costs. Don’t get taken for a ride. And if Viator reads this, it’s not too late to rectify the situation.

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
