Wine lovers, this trip into Tuscany from Florence is designed just for you. You’ll leave the city behind and head to the Chianti region, known around the world for its red wines. You’ll be picked up from the meeting point in Florence and driven to Tuscany and the Chianti region. Your first stop is the Medieval village of Greve. Then, you’ll head to Montefioralle, which has been perfectly preserved since the 12th century. Chianti Classico, one of the most iconic Italian red wines, has a black rooster on its label – you’ll hear the backstory for this during your time in Montefioralle. From here, you’ll head to a family-run wine estate for lunch and a wine-tasting session. The cellars have been around since Medieval times, and they use oak barrels to do a lot of their aging. You can expect Italian classics prepped with ingredients grown on the property. You’ll have three different Chiantis to sample. This region is also known for its olive oil, so you can try some of that, too.

What are people saying about Florence

Sarah_G, May 2026

Great half day tour

This was a great tour, taking a bus and riding to Pisa was great. They gave us a bathroom stop on the way there and then we had plenty of time to learn from our guide, Sarah, who is absolutely amazing. I think this tour was the perfect amount of time because it was just a half day.

Cinque Terre Day Trip with Optional Hiking or Pisa

michael_k, May 2026

Lots of steps and traveling but worth it

Family of 5. We took a double decker bus 2hrs from Florence to La Spezia, then a train to the Cinque Terre towns. We paid 15 euros/person for a group lunch that was 100% worth it. Our tour guide Giancarlo took incredible care of us the whole time, the best guide we had the whole week in Italy. Lots of steps, and lots of walking, so beware if you have trouble with either of those. We paid 15 euros/person to ride the boat between the two towns on the last stop, and I’d recommend it. The trip was nonstop postcard pictures, but not much to do in the towns themselves-lots of small souvenir shops and restaurants. If it was warmer we would’ve swam at the beaches. Definitely worth doing if you’re in relatively good shape. Once in a lifetime views.

Half day Chianti Vineyard Escape from Florence with Wine Tastings

AngelaHelen_M, May 2026

Drink, enjoy, learn, sleep

Wonderful to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The Vineyards were picturesque, informative and the vineyard staff were both knowledgeable and entertaining. We are now fans of Chianti and will always look out for the black cockerel. Drinking wine at 10am did mean we needed a fiesta, so, do not plan anything too physical in the afternoon.

We had a great time on...

We had a great time on the Accademia tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, interactive, informative, and kind!! We learned so much more than what we would have learned if we went without the tour. Plus you get to skip the line which was a bonus!! David is a spectacular sculpture to see when in Florence and this tour was worth it 100%!

Long day but well worth the time; highly recommended for those with the stamina to partake of the experiences.

CHIARA was a wonderful tour guide, providing a lot of information about all the places we visited and keeping up a cheerful demeanor throughout. It was a revelation to learn about the villages we visited and the points of interest along the way. Though the tour is a long one, the time passed more quickly than we realized because of all the new sights and information we experienced.

Uffizi Gallery Small Group Tour with Guide

jeffery_h, Apr 2026

A semester of knowledge in 2 hours for art students

Our 1:00 pm 26 April Uffizi tour was simply outstanding, thanks to an exceptional guide whose passion and presence immediately set her apart. From the moment we began, it was clear we were in the hands of someone truly special. Her knowledge of Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael—especially their masterful use of color—was extraordinary, delivering insights that felt equal to a full semester of art study. Having grown up in Florence, she brought a depth and authenticity few guides possess. Quite frankly, whatever she is being paid is not enough—she deserves a raise.
