Private Chianti Safari Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour
We took private wine tour and we were picked up at our hotel in Florence. We were greeted by our guide Sara and our driver Giuseppe. Sara was very informative about the wine and how it is made and we were brought to three wineries. One wineries had a restaurant where we had a lovey lunch. The wine tasting had meat and cheese to go with the wine. The area is beautiful and it rain the day we were on the tour and Giuseppe did excellent job driving on the back roads. This tour takes about 6 hours and it was such a nice day seeing all the country side. Thank you Sara and Giuseppe for such a wonderful and memorable day.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the lovely review! We're really happy to hear you had such a great time. Our goal is to make it easy, fun, and memorable — so it means a lot to know you enjoyed the experience. We’d love to have you join us again whenever you’re back in the area. Safe travels and thanks again for choosing Walkabout Tours!

The Fabulous Fabio and our Private Wine Tour in our Mad Max Bus
The moment Fabio met us at our house we knew we would be in for a great day- he’s exceptionally energetic, engaged in great conversation, and we also took what was a master class in the wines of the Chianti region with our guide and level 3 Som. Both winery visits were intimate encounters with welcoming staff. Our first stop at Principe Corsini included an introduction to the family history, as well as the traditions that the winery and prince carries on, including the wines innovated by his later son (who tragically passed way too early). The second stop after a terrific lunch and tasting at Fattoria Rignana (with a welcoming host as well), was at Poggio Torselli. Our host was a young Som and we thoroughly enjoyed his conversation and instruction as well. We were even greeted by the estate’s homeowner, a charismatic and humble Pasquale Cusano (who works in the gardens and on the grounds- look up his bio). He and my wife enjoyed a great conversation (and I’m glad she didn’t run off with him😉). Fabio was the consummate guide, equally friendly, interesting, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Fabio and his capable driver, Labi.

Great way to see the countryside!
We didn’t have a car, but wanted a day out of the city during our weeklong stay in Florence. This tour was perfect. We were about a dozen people, hosted by a very attentive and helpful guide, her name was Oz. We were driven to a gorgeous historic villa, where a wealthy family makes wine and opens their home and production facilities to small groups like ours. We enjoyed a wine tasting after visiting the grounds and cellar, then were driven through the gorgeous Tuscan hills to a country restaurant with views to die for. More delicious Chianti, followed by a family style meal served in one of the most beautiful locations ever. If I’m being super picky, I’d say the food there was not “wow”, but everything other aspect of this tour was so good that it didn’t really matter. It was simply a lovely day and very much recommended.

Private Chianti Safari: Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour with Lunch from Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private Chianti Safari: Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour with Lunch from Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $561 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 Private Chianti Safari: Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour with Lunch from Florence take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Chianti Safari: Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour with Lunch from Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 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 Private Chianti Safari: Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour with Lunch from Florence?
+
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 Private Chianti Safari: Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour with Lunch from Florence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Chianti Safari: Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour with Lunch from Florence?
+
Around 11 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Chianti Safari: Off Road Tuscany Wine Tour with Lunch from Florence 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 -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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.
