via Tripadvisor
Mr. Andrea & Pek Tuscany company was a 12 out of a 10!!!!
Mr. Andrea provided 1 of our best and most memorable tours of our entire 15 day trip. The communications leading up to the booking was spot on (warm, kind, flexible, quick to respond, friendly, etc). He left me a few audio messages with superb detail to ensure expectations were met. That was awesome. I had complete confidence in Andrea from the get go. He picked us up at our Airbnb, which was awesome! It was a 12 out of 10 day & experience. The lunch at the winery was spectacular! His english was very good. He was so kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and just a great person. This tour was a highlight of our entire vacation! I cannot recommend Andrea enough!!! He and is company are very customer oriented and a great company and he is a great person!!!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: "FRANCIGENA WAY" in Chianti with Lunch & 2 Wine-tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private Tour: "FRANCIGENA WAY" in Chianti with Lunch & 2 Wine-tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Tour: "FRANCIGENA WAY" in Chianti with Lunch & 2 Wine-tastings take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Tour: "FRANCIGENA WAY" in Chianti with Lunch & 2 Wine-tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Tour: "FRANCIGENA WAY" in Chianti with Lunch & 2 Wine-tastings?
+
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 Tour: "FRANCIGENA WAY" in Chianti with Lunch & 2 Wine-tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: "FRANCIGENA WAY" in Chianti with Lunch & 2 Wine-tastings?
+
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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: "FRANCIGENA WAY" in Chianti with Lunch & 2 Wine-tastings 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.
