We were recently lucky enough to complete our 3 day wine, cheese and sightseeing tour through Chianti with KM Zero Tours. I seriously cannot rave enough about these guys. From word go, dealing with Arianna and Nichola was fabulous. They were both so engaged and willing to accommodate all of our requests, which resulted in the most memorable fun filled trip I have ever had the privilege to undertake. Arianna was very friendly and helpful with ensuring that our itinerary ticked every box that we requested.
Nichola, well I really cant say enough about him as a guide for 3 days. He is an absolute star. Always ensuring that we got to see and do everything that was on our list and more. From taking us into people's vineyards and homes to taste both exceptional wine and foods. I definitely put weight on during the trip. Nichola was always on time when picking us up each morning from a differing hotel, we were always greeted with a welcoming smile for the day ahead and more importantly he always ensured that we felt safe during the COVID pandemic. I can't speak highly or enough of Nichola, by far one of the best tour guides I have ever come across and crazily knowledgeable. My husband and I truly had an exceptional time on this tour meeting the vinters and going to boutique vineyards to fully understand the wine making process, not to mention to taste amazing wines and olive oils. The places that were chosen for lunch each day were terrific, with food that would put Michelin star chefs to shame. Fresh and delicious homemade traditional Italian food was served to us each day which was made by family members. We both miss the food, the stories, the laughter and the wonderful embrace of Italian culture. When we are next back in |Tuscany, Nicola and KMZ Tours will definitely be on speed dial for me. You cant go wrong with choosing these guys.

We had a great time with Arianna and Alessio! My husband and I have been to Florence several times, but have not gotten to visit many other areas within Tuscany. Arianna was so easy to work with prior to the trip and helped organize two days outside Florence to fit our needs (Brunello tasting on day one and Truffle hunting on day two). They picked us up and dropped us off within Florence city limits, and while they definitely provided tons of use information and facts, it felt more like traveling with friends than a tour. Both were experiences we will never forget!

KM Zero Tours provides outstanding customer support and service. We worked with them over several months exchanging ideas that led to developing a personalized itinerary. They are focused on understanding your goals and objectives whether a newcomer or seasoned repeat visitor to the Tuscan region. They are detail oriented, knowledgeable, flexible, and adaptive both in the planning and execution of an itinerary. We felt that we made new friends and will certainly consult with and utilize their services in the future. They are creative in their research and committed to presenting a delightful experience day after day. We have used other planners and providers and rate them the very best. We hope to partner with them again in both Tuscany and other areas of Italy.

I had such an amazing experience with KM Zero tours! Arianna helped me plan a customized itinerary for a girls day in Chianti. She was quick to respond, so gracious, and very helpful with special requests and modifications. I was on a girls trip with a larger group, and Arianna, Alessio, and Lorenzo made sure the entire day ran smoothly without making us feel rushed. We had a wonderful time at the pasta making class and wine tasting, and we loved spending time with the local producers that we never would have found on our own. Everything we ate and drank was delicious (and it was a lot - our hosts were so generous) and the setting of both producers was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend working with KM Zero tours for your trip to Tuscany, they will give you an amazing experience!

We just returned from a beautiful tour arranged by KMZero. Everything about this trip was wonderful. Our accommodations at a Villa were just perfect and the staff were all so kind and friendly. The drivers who picked our group of 8 up each day were knowledgeable about the visits we made to various places and did an excellent job of keeping us informed, on time, and safe. Each day’s schedule seemed to top the previous day and we felt so privileged to be allowed to see inside the lives of so many wonderful people who are passionate about what they do. We loved every minute of our trip with KMZero tours!

We had the pleasure of staying for a full week in the beautiful Tuscany-Chianty region. Alessio and Ariane created a beautiful Itinerary with visits to cheese farms, olive farms, wineries and wine tastings and many more places accompanied with lunches with the most beautiful views you could imagine. Starting of with a bread cooking class fromm Beppe and a Pizza party (best pizza ever). Finishing of on a high note with an Italian cooking class and Opera at the house. The tour guides were all easy to talk to, knowledgable and broughtus everywhere safely. Would highly recommend using KM Zero Tours to visit all the nice spots in the Chianti region!

If you want to meet unforgettable people, experience unique history, and enjoy the best food, wine and hospitality on Earth, you need to consider KM Zero Tours. Arianna and Allesio have perfected the art of delivering slow travel at its finest. Slow travel is, at its heart, all about making true connections to local people, food, music, and customs. And that’s what we found during our trip to Tuscany in October 2022.
What sets KM Zero apart is their spirit of joy, happiness, and fun. A group of a dozen or so complete strangers from around the world come together to share this experience and depart as special friends. We had a wonderful week of meeting many Tuscany families who lovingly embraced and served us with outstanding Italian cuisine prepared in their home kitchens while sharing their life’s work. Expect to visit wineries where Chianti Classico is produced. Tour historic towns like Sienna where the famous Palio de Sienna horseraces are held each year. Enjoy virgin olive oil tasting and learn why everything you previously thought about it was wrong. The accommodations are excellent.
The extended KM Zero family of Francesco, Marta, Miranda, Massimo will treat you like part of the family and make your week in Tuscany one of the most special of your life. We plan to return for a spring tour with Ariana in the near future. Hope to meet you there!

My daughter and I had an awesome tour with Alessio. We enjoyed visiting the lovely towns of Certaldo and San Gimignano to start the tour, especially the pottery shop in Certaldo. Our next stop was at a family-owned goat farm where we met the owners and learned about their cheese processing. We got to pet the goats and even met a newborn kid. The lunch they prepared for us was delicious. Our last stop was to a family owned biodynamic wine and olive oil producer. The visit was amazing! We learned about their interesting family history as well as their wine and olive oil process.
Booking the tour with Arianna was very easy and she was a pleasure to work out the details with. Alessio was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun.
We had such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend KM Zero Tours.

Words cannot express the incredible experience I had with KM Zero Tours. Arianna did a fantastic job matching what we wanted with each each experience. From the Truffle Hunt and lunch, the Ceramic Shopping, the cooking lesson with dinner and live Opera singer, to the most authentic lunch to end our 3 days - it was all pure perfection. Arianna was with us the entre time and if we needed anything she was there for us. Lorenzo - our driver was fabulous, very patient, and kind. He is a wealth of knowledge for all the places we visited. And thank you Lorenzo for going back for my backpack when I forgot it in the car. If you want to see authentic Tuscany, you must work with KM Zero Tours.

Our day tour included a visit to Monteriggioni, a winery tour which included lunch and a visit to San Gimignano. We were collected by Marco at our hotel and dropped off there at the end of the day. Arranging the tour with Arianna was easy: she was professional in her approach and responded to our emails in a timely manner. Marco was a great tour guide: he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his city Florence and Tuscany; was attentive to us and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour. He was extremely polite and professional. I would recommend KM Zero Tours without any hesitation.
