    Beautiful day in the tuscan hills

    We just finished a lovely tour with claudio. He drove us to san Gimignano and to a wonderful winery for lunch and wine tasting. He was pleasant and knowledgeable and we enjoyed talking italian history and about our families. It was an awesome way to spend a hot day in Florence. Highly recommend Claudio.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this review, we are pleased you have enjoyed the experience with Claudio... We would be happy to welcome you again in the future

    Amazing from start to finish

    Our driver Claudio was informative and fun. Very professional and kind. The overall experience was wonderful. This was not my first time to San Gimignano but was by far the best. The winery, tasting and the lunch that was prepared by the mom (Owners) was delightful and our hostess for the tasting, Lucia, made the entire experience one to remember. A high recommendation!! 5 stars!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your positive review of the tour and the driver/guide who accompanied you. We look forward to seeing you again in the future for other excursions. Thank you.

    San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $206 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 San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour?

    +

    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 San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour?

    +

    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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour 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 San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour?

    +

    Included: Tour and lunch \ wine tasting with experienced wine operator; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; English speaking driver tour escort; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for San Gimignano & Chianti Small Group Wine Tour?

    +
