Review of a private half-day Chianti tour from Florence, with Mercedes transport, Greve, photo stops, and optional winery tasting.
“Our driver was Placido Perera. He was absolutely fantastic with incredible knowledge of the area. What I did not realize is the tour ONLY included the drive to the region and not the wine tasting. We went to an excellent vineyard and bought a large amount of product and after our credit card was processed, the vineyard asked for additional 60 Euros. If I were to do it again I would work directly with a driver, particularly Placido, and pay the driver and the vineyard separately. Otherwise you are shelling ot over $500 for a drive alone.”

See Michelangelo’s David and Renaissance masterpieces at the Uffizi on a small-group Florence tour with reserved entry and expert guides.
“*The only reason this tour was not given a 5 star rating is because the tour end time was incorrect. We missed our next tour due to incorrect information. While we understand that tour timing is approximately, the description showed that the entire tour would be done at 2pm, but then found out that the Accademia tour was not even scheduled to start until 2:15. The company needs to update their information. The Uffizi and Accademia tours themselves were wonderful. To see the works of art was truly breathtaking. Seeing David was magnificent, and our guide shared information that we never knew before this day.”

Honey, they did a good job accommodating a vegetarian for the appetizers.”
