    Tuscan wine tour

    Our guide and driver Valentin was fantastic. He went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a wonderful experience. All of the wines we sampled were first rate. Emma was the highlight.

    Highlight of our trip!

    Ended up being one of the highlights of our visit to Florence! The transfer was amazing and wineries selected were perfection. Romantic, flexible, and private - exactly what we were looking for!

    Wine tasting at family owned winery and San Gimignano

    Our tour guide and driver, Cristian, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. He took us to the family owned and operated Corbucci winery, where we had a wonderful wine tasting with the lively Francesco. We then headed to the cool medieval town of San Gimignano where we climbed the bell tower for an amazing view of the countryside.

    Wonderful tour!

    Our guide (Christian) was fun and knowledgeable. We had a private tour with our family of five to two different wineries. Both places were passionate about their wines. We had a great day with amazing views!

    Placedo is a Great Driver/Guide

    We booked a 1/2 day private visit of the Chianti region through Viator. Placedo is an excellent guide! He greeted us promptly at our hotel at our designated pick up time and from that moment on our experience was 5 stars. Placedo is very friendly and his intimate and extensive knowledge of the area were amazing. We have never been to Florence or Chianti so he explained things as we passed, gave us excellent tips for our stay and took us to a quaint but beautiful family owned winery (Corbucci) where we were treated with special attention. We wish we had the whole day with Placedo! 4 hours was not enough time to enjoy all that he could have shared with us. Next time we will ask for him specifically and spend the entire day with him as our guide. Well done Ciao Florence! Placedo is excellent and we highly recommend him!

    Florence: Private Half-Day Chianti Tour and Wine Tasting Optional: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Florence: Private Half-Day Chianti Tour and Wine Tasting Optional cost?

    +

    Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Florence: Private Half-Day Chianti Tour and Wine Tasting Optional take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.

    Is Florence: Private Half-Day Chianti Tour and Wine Tasting Optional worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 51 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Florence: Private Half-Day Chianti Tour and Wine Tasting Optional?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Florence: Private Half-Day Chianti Tour and Wine Tasting Optional suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Florence: Private Half-Day Chianti Tour and Wine Tasting Optional?

    +

    Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Florence: Private Half-Day Chianti Tour and Wine Tasting Optional start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Florence?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Florence?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
