    Our driver was very nice...

    Our driver was very nice and was a careful driver. He was quick to tell us that he was not a guide, so he didn’t give us a lot of information that we did not already know. Be sure to note that the lunch and the cost of the wine tastings are not included in the price. That makes for a pleasant but very expensive day.

    Response from the operator: Dear but you should read before book an experience!! is clearly written on the details what is included and what is not included, I really don't understand why you do a booking and then you complain about something that is a your mistake you don't read what you book??.. doesn't seems so smart for a person that do that, you should be embarrassed for yourself after write this review you are pulling your leg by yourself)) is really ridiculous this, first time on all my all good reviews that someone complain for is own mistake. Be careful and try to be more fair in life with the people you are playing with the lives of people who work honestly by using your indiscipline and laziness in not even reading what you book.

    Amazing day in Florence and Tuscany!

    What an amazing day with Gianluca! We were very fortunate to have him as our guide. He was professional, fun, and very knowledgeable about the area. I would highly recommend this private tour if you want a balanced day between the city and countryside. It was a perfect day for our family!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much!! hope to meet you again, Big Hugs from Florence!!

    A+ Memorable Experience and Exceptional Service

    The entire tour was majestic and memorable. Gianluca was our Tour guide and he was exceptional throughout the day. We highly recommend to enjoy an unforgettable experience touring the best of Florence and Tuscany Wines & lunch. Gianluca goes out of his way to take you to scenic spots that you wont normally see while in Florence, and the Winery and lunch pairing with fine wines, was truly a special experience. Celebrating our 25th Anniversary, Gianluca made our day extra special with my wife asking about a certain Italian desert "Maritozzo", which resulted us stopping at the local bakery and a final touch of taking us to enjoy authentic Florence Gelato. Truly first class service and experience while in the comfort of a emasculate Mercedes - a must for couples.

    Response from the operator: Thank you soo much dears!! Hope to see you again!! Big Hugss

    Private driver for Florence city sightseeing & Wine Tour Chianti: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private driver for Florence city sightseeing & Wine Tour Chianti cost?

    +

    Prices start at $928 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 driver for Florence city sightseeing & Wine Tour Chianti 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 driver for Florence city sightseeing & Wine Tour Chianti worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 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 driver for Florence city sightseeing & Wine Tour Chianti?

    +

    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 driver for Florence city sightseeing & Wine Tour Chianti 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 driver for Florence city sightseeing & Wine Tour Chianti?

    +

    Around 1 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 driver for Florence city sightseeing & Wine Tour Chianti 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.
