          A waste of time
          The first vineyard was a bit boring, we didn't get to see any actual vineyard at all, we just spent in indoors and at the end a few minutes in the garden, you'd expect they offer you at least one glass but they don't, if you want you'll have to buy it The second vineyard was much nicer but we arrived at after sunset so we couldn't see anything, we should've came to the second vineyard first to enjoy the outdoors and the vineyards I thought it's a waste of time to be honest,

          Various experiences in the Tuscany region in one day
          Gabrielle is the best tour guide, offering kind explanations and a great sense of humor. “And Luca is the best driver. Thanks to them, we were able to travel comfortably.”

          Family fun in Florence!
          Matthew and Stefano were spectacular. Matthew was a legit long time chef born and raised in Florence and took time to explain all the steps with story telling to go along about his life in Florence. Took 3 children in their twenties and we laughed the whole time. We made the most delicious Ragu and tomato sauce with Tagliatelle and Ravioli. We will surely use the recipes again and again and will think of this experience! Unforgettable Florence experience! Do with your family and / or friends!!

          Great morning of cooking and local culture
          Really lovely cooking morning with the ciao team. We had a nice mix of people from different countries and made some lovely recipes. We particularly liked the traditional ragu bolognaise which was completely different to how we make it in England but delicious and rich. The tiramisu could have done with some alcohol but again maybe that is a British thing! Overall a lovely morning and a break from all the great sights seeing in Florence.

          This tour was well worth the money. Both wineries were excellent and would highly recommend taking the time for the trip. This was very educational and the wine and food was very good.

          Chianti Wine Tours
          Awesome experience! Exactly what we expected when planning this excursion into Tuscany area. Our travel guide and hosts at the two wineries we visited were all excellent story tellers of the areas and histories of the winemaking. This tour was absolutely worth the time and money!!

          Half day Chianti vineyard escape from Florence
          Gabrielle was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and great sense of humor. The two vineyards we visited had wonderful wines and delicious snacks, including vegetarian for me, which was very much appreciated. Our driver, Antonio, navigated the narrow roads getting us there and back safely. We enjoyed our tour immensely.

        My wife and I took the private full day tour of Assisi and Cortona on Sunday March 18th. I wanted to compliment you on our driver Luca. He did such a good job and was extremely attentive to our needs all day. He was able to get us close to the important attractions armed with the information to make the most of the trip. Between the weather and the fact that it was Sunday we faced a few obstacles. Luca allowed us to see everything we were interested in and always had an umbrella at the ready. We learned a lot about the area as we drove. His suggestions helped immensely especially when it came to lunch. We had a very nice meal at Ristorante degli Orti. We never felt rushed and had a excellent experience. This is a perfect trip if you want to see beautiful hill towns and spectacular churches and only have a day. Please thank Luca again for us.

        Really enjoyed the trip to Orvieto and Assisi. Our guide Gabriele was super friendly. Assisi was beautiful, worth making the trek from Florence. Very spiritual places, the tour was heavily focussed around the churches.

        Our day trip to Assisi and Cortona was lovely, despite essentially all the shops being closed in Cortona (apparently it was Monday). Our driver was just a driver however and barely spoke to us at all. We knew he would not be a guide to us around the towns but based on other reviews we expected he would be at least sharing some of his knowledge during the drive.

        It would have been helpful to have been provided city maps to aid in our self-guided tours. We found the information center in Assisi where we obtained one, but were not successful in doing so in Cortona.

        Dear customer We are sorry for getting a three stars review from you, meaning that you are not very satisfied by the day! We would like to let you please consider that you bought an 'only transportation' option and we are very sorry if you meant to book something different. Please consider that it would have been possible to book a private tour guide, in addition, if you had requested it. About Mondays: we do confirm that it is the closing day for many stores (restaurants and coffee stores stay open). We kindly let you notice that you have requested to move your reservation to the day in question, we have just satisfied it. We do hope you will get a chance to come back and enjoy it better, we would be honored to take you around again and change your mind! Take care Kind Regards Ciaoflorence Staff

        City tour guide was very late showing up so we ended up not using him. Not sure what happened there.. Christian (our driver) did a great job of making sure we got to see and do everything we wanted. He provided much information on the history of the region and made arrangements for us to visit an excellent winery for tasting and a great lunch. He is the best tour guide/driver ever!!!!!
