Truly a magical evening with Anna! This tour was so much more than we expected, reading the description I wasn’t sure exactly how we would fit everything in without feeling rushed, but everything was perfect. I love that we got a taste of everything that’s amazing about Florence: wine, Gnudi, cheese, Negroni, Wild Boar Strew, Gelato! There wasn’t anything I would have changed about the evening. Anna was knowledgeable and kind while also keeping us safe and happy. For anyone nervous about the walking aspect of the tour, you stay within the same small area and it wasn’t very strenuous. I would recommend this tour to anyone!a magical evening

Michele was fantastic, charming and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the Uffizi that we visited. He started giving me wonderful details and history from the moment we joined the queue to enter.
I had a great experience and would highly recommend this to anyone who has limited time to visit Florence. I loved this tour and Michele was a large component of my satisfaction. A magical Uffizi Tour

For 1.5 hours and tasting only 5 items definitely not worth the money. The tour was suppose to be 3 hours, it’s true we are vegetarians but we pointed that out prior to the tour.. so was disappointing when it finished soo fast.
Antonella is a great guide and person It was ok

This tour was a great taste of Tuscany with visits to two of my favorite medieval towns (Siena and San Gimignano), plus an unforgettable lunch and wine tasting at Fontaleoni! Thanks so much to our guide Anna for a great job - excellent English, fun stories, and lots of good history. A perfect taste of Tuscany!

There was a mix up by your company and not enough vans came. We were cramped into 2 vans. Our tour guide and our driver (Anna and Cristiano) stepped up , along with the other van driver, and found a solution. They deserve a lot of credit for their problem solving. That is why I gave this tour a high rating. The company really did not seem to be able to solve the searing shortage. I give full credit to Anna and Cristiano and want to recognize their dedication and commitment to making the tour a success in spite of the oversite. Tuscany wine tour

Our guide Anna was a joy to experience our first night in Florence with. We had opportunity to learn about Florence and to spread time amongst (3) different venues, each building up to a fantastic dinner in Santo Spirito. As a foodie with a healthy appetite, I must say that I could not eat all that was put on the plate before me. Great value for the cost! Anna is a great host for anyone looking to experience a tour of different tastes in Florence.Great value

Anna gave us lots of intetesting background information about the origins of the food and the families running the businesses, all adding to the experience.
Amazing biscotti, pistachio cream, truffle products and the best traditional gelato!!
Highly recommended.A good insight into some great traditional food.

The day started with a drive up into wine country. Where we stopped in Siena, did some shopping while they set up the horse race that’s coming up the second week of August. We enjoyed it some espresso, and there must have Pan Forte. We then headed to the winery where we enjoyed a nice lunch, overlooking the grapevines and a tour of the seller. After that we headed into San Gimignano for some world-famous gelato (the best we have had). Anna, our tour guide was amazing and full of knowledge and our tour driver was great. Would recommend.Great day!!

We loved meeting our guide, Anna, who was so knowledgeable about her City (born and bred in Firenze) and clearly loves her city! Her English is perfect, engages us all, and takes us to great little places with amazing food. The final touch was Steak Florentine and Roasted Potatoes. So many GOOD wines, including a new love of mine, Vin Santo! When the tour was over, she made sure we were headed home in the right direction (we’re 71 and 73). Such a nice personal touch! Grazie, Anna. Magical Florence at Night
