Florence Wine tasting Trips

Excellent trip and very good guide in AJ. Only negative was hotel in Florence. Good location (change from original hotel) but was tired and cleanliness could have been better. Very cramped solo room 🙁 Highlights were Pienza and Castellina in Chianti. Great hotels, beautiful walks and really good food and wine. 😀

An excellent Tuscan holiday, packing a lot in, including Pisa, Siena and Florence, along with some excellent walking and wine, of course. Highlights for us were staying in the beautiful hill top town of Pienza, wine tasting and lunch at Castello la Leccia and fantastic views wherever we looked. Our group was very well looked after throughout by our guide, who took everything in his stride. There was a train strike on our departure day, but we were provided with a taxi transfer back to the airport, so no worries. Another great experience with Explore!

Gorgeous scenery! Very special area. I absolutely loved the towns on sites on the tour! Entire trip was good. Gionata a fabulous guide and very conscientious. He helped me in so many ways, very personable and knowledgeable.

Want to explore Tuscany without a rushed itinerary? Want a small group? Want to hike to wineries and hill towns? Stay in interesting hotels that are hundreds of years old? A wine and food buff? Then this is for you. I had a great time on this trip. Had a full day in Sienna and a nice orientation tour of Florence (I spent a few extra days) Plus to get to visit lesser known towns that the big companies overlook. My favorite was Pienza. A nice little town that also had my favorite hotel and great places to eat. And yes, we tasted wonderful Italian wines, as well as the best cold cuts and cheeses I’ve ever tasted. And did I also mention hiking to wineries and hill towns? Wonderful sights, with spectacular views. One hike it rained towards the end, but that didn’t dampen our spirits.

With a slight improvement perhaps to the hotels, I will probably never travel with any other tour group other than Gadventures. I very much enjoy the people I meet, the tour leaders. Francesco Sorriento was amazing. We were welcome with loving arms when we met our last tour leader, Anna, from two years ago. I really do feel that you go away with an experience of seeing a different country, but with friends that you become quite close to in only a short time. Thank you for the wonderful adventure

An excellent holiday if you like walking beautiful countryside good company and food. The hilltop towns are stunning. A great mix of activity and history and a knowledgeable guide. Nothing was too much trouble for him.
