Gian Carlo was a true host an knowledgeable guide and good driver. I had a very good day!
I had a great day with Gian Carlo, being knowledgeable and a good and safe driver. I enjoyed the landscape and also the little stop for coffee and a cornetto in the middle of nowhere! Best pistachio cream ever !

Very good experience
Very good experience. Everything went smoothly, the transfer were punctual and the communication was excellent. They were very kind and available for any request. We will definitely contact them again if we need their services in the future.

Recommended and Serious!
The experience with Gianfranco was perfect. I had a meeting with some fellow DJs at MIR in Rimini, he picked me up at Firenze S.M.N station, and then the perfect trip, without exceeding speed and we found common topics like music. He is a quiet person, that the job really does it for passion! I recommend it and believe me you will agree.

Best way to see Tuscan countryside!
We hired Giancarlo’s services three times during our stay in Florence. Each time was a great car, on time. Our truffle hunting trip and the winery trip were quite enjoyable and a perfect way to enjoy the Tuscan countryside. Finally, got us to the train station with no issues. Most notably, he realized I had overpaid one part of the bill, brought it to my attention and reimbursed me. Nice to know a driver you can trust in Firenze!
via Tripadvisor
Tuscany for ever!
Giancarlo is an excellent driver, every day we had tours with him he was always punctual and impeccable! Every tour was a surprise, visiting Siena San Gimignano, wine cellars, Carrara marble quarries, 5 Terre, Chianti area, Pisa and Lucca. If you are in Tuscany, trust him

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Gimignano Wine Tasting With Truffle Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does San Gimignano Wine Tasting With Truffle Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $900 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 Wine Tasting With Truffle Tour 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 San Gimignano Wine Tasting With Truffle Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Gimignano Wine Tasting With Truffle Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is San Gimignano Wine Tasting With Truffle Tour 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 San Gimignano Wine Tasting With Truffle Tour?
+
Around 2 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 San Gimignano Wine Tasting With Truffle 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 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.
