Best driver in Tuscany
Marco is the best driver in Tuscany! We have had several trips with him and he has ALWAYS been terrific!!! He is a true gentleman. He is very knowledgeable about the area, wines and places to go and things to do. And, he’s lots of fun!!!
Response from the operator: Thanks Heather! It' s always a pleasure to take care of you and your groups of ladies. I hope to see you again in Tuscany very soon! Marco

Amazing Chiani Region
A great introduction to the chianti region. Beautiful. And Marco was super nice, helpful and informative. San Gimignani was very unique and the wine experience at Casa Emma was fantastic. Whatever you want to do in Tuscany - I highly recommend working with Marco!

Amazing Tuscan experience with Marco!
The was our favorite day of our entire Italy trip! My husband and I visited 3 wineries (hand selected by Marco) where we had the most delicious Tuscan wine, aged balsamic, snacks, and lunch. The service, atmosphere, and views were remarkable. We loved it so much, we gifted the same experience to my parents when they went in October.

Worth every penny!
Trip of a lifetime! We will never forget our time in Tuscany. Our drive was top notch. So professional and extremely knowledgeable about every location. The wineries picked for us were a perfect blend of everything. The food and wine were amazing! We want to do it all over again. Thank you Marco!
via Tripadvisor
Had a wonderful time on our private tour with Marco.
If I could rate higher than a 5 I would! This is my second time doing a private tour with Marco. He is full of knowledge about Italy and wines! I will definitely tour with Marco next time we are in Italy. Thank you Marco!

Private Tuscany Day Tour: San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region from Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private Tuscany Day Tour: San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region from Florence cost?
+
Prices start at €113 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 Tuscany Day Tour: San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region 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 Tuscany Day Tour: San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region from Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Tuscany Day Tour: San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region 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 Tuscany Day Tour: San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region 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 Tuscany Day Tour: San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region from Florence?
+
Around 4 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 Tuscany Day Tour: San Gimignano and Chianti Wine Region 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.
