    Make this a top priority.

    This sidecar tour was recommended to us by an acquaintance. Booking was easy, and the communication was very good. The tour itself exceeded all expectations. My husband and I were with Thomasa, and our friends were with Fausto. They were not only fun and attentive but also a wealth of knowledge. Our first stop was a beautiful church just outside of Florence where we enjoyed a beautiful view of the city, the splendor of the church itself, and some of the best gelato we had the entire trip. We made a couple of quick pit stops in the Terra Cotta area and then on to Luiano winery owned and operated by Felicia and Alessandro (and their parents before them). At Luiano (similar to the gelato), we had some of the best food of our whole 12 day trip to Italy. Our tasting and lunch table were set up under a pavilion with a view where we could observe the harvesting that was taking place. When a heavy rain, the first in 4 months, drove us inside, we enjoyed more wine and a warm comfortable atmosphere including a few friendly games of checkers. It was truly as close to perfect as it can get. My husband and the couple we were traveling with all agree. Wonderful tour, wonderful people (Thomasa and Faust AND the Luiano team), and wonderful memories.

    Response from the operator: Ciao Ashley, thanks for the amazing review! What can I say? Be back soon to Florence and Tuscany, there’s still a lot we have to share with you guys… With love, Thomasa

    Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at €259 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 Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 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 Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch?

    +

    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 Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch?

    +

    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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch 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 Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch?

    +

    Included: Helmet, Fuel surcharge, Local taxes; Wine tasting; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Sidecar tour in Florence and Chianti with wine tasting and lunch offered in?

    +
