Experience of some groups thrugh myself: What a beautiful day just south of Florence visiting the American World War II Memorial and Cemetery for those who fought and died in the Italian Theater. Extremely moving and beautiful setting for our fallen American soldiers. We had some time to visit one of the oldest butchers in Tuscany over in Greve and a wonderful family owners olive oil and vineyard in Castelina di Chianti. So many great times and memories made with this incredible group from Florida, Colorado, and South Dakota. Can’t wait for the next trip as we wrap up tomorrow and get ready to head home.

    Beautiful Tuscany!

    This is our second time to Florence, where we hired Abbas to take us to visit the quaint towns of Siena, followed by a great winery tour. The first day was so much fun, we booked him for a second day. This time, we visited the Florence Cemetery, where Americans in World War II were buried, San Gimigano, Chiante in Greve and some other, very quaint, small towns. Our highlight was a trip to Poggio Amorelli winery in Tuscany, where the weather was wonderful, under blue skies and a calm breeze. We had an exceptional meal and delicious wine, along with an excellent Somalia, who took care of us well. We also had a nice visit to Saint Appiano family owned winery. Abbas knows Tuscany, very well, including the history, and the special places that make it such a jewel! I strongly recommend you booking this tour.

    Perfect morning / afternoon typical of a Tuscan charm

    Special thanks to our guide-driver Ivan, who was excellent throughout our tour. He was punctual and courteous and took extra time to explain some of the historical components with the recent influences from high tourism on various part of Firenze that we drove through. We were a family of 3 with my sister & mom & despite my mom having challenges with walking uphill / for long distance, Ivan was very helpful in letting us know in advance whether my mom should get down and walk or stay put in the vehicle. We visited various Chianti villages along the way and took some beautiful pictures. Ivan also allowed us to stop at a few scenic spots to take pictures and ensured that we had amazing gelati at the Dondoli gelateria in Gimignano (there are other spots too but this one is the best), which had packed crowds queuing up in front of shop as evidence :) We were not hungry or thirsty for a winery tour (having done many in past) and hence chose to skip the farm meal / winery tour (the multiple scoops of awesome gelati from Dondoli didn't help with the hunger either) so we had a light snacky late lunch in Greve instead. Overall, a beautiful Tuscan morning/afternoon with perfect weather and a great guide!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much my brother

    Outstanding Experience – Thanks to Abbas!

    Our trip was perfectly organized from start to finish. Abbas, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He was professional, attentive, and personally handled every detail, which made us feel truly valued. Excellent service, seamless planning, and unforgettable memories. 5 stars without hesitation – highly recommended!

    Response from the operator: thanks

    Pasta making but so much more!

    This was one of the best experiences we had while we were in Italy. They took such great care of us and treated us like family as we visited their generational family farm and made pasta and ate lunch with them! Magnifico!!

    A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty cost?

    +

    Prices start at $195 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 A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty 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 A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 34 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 A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty?

    +

    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 A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty 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 A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty?

    +

    Around 12 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 A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty 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.

    What is included in A Journey Across Tuscany’s History, Olive Oil Heritage and Beauty?

    +
