Poor tour guide and one of three wineries visited was awful
Our tour guide was Simon and he is just not a good tour guide! He did not introduce himself, and he did not tell us the plan for the day, so we had no idea what to expect. His van did not have enough seat belts for everyone, it was not clean, you could not hear or understand him as we were driving, he handed us these laminated pages with no explanation of what he was talking about and he would drop us off at locations and then just walk away with no explanation as to what we were doing there! At one point WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, one of us asked a question and he read paragraphs out of a document he had with him, which was very dangerous! The first place we went to (Contucci) was really good, once we figured out where to go and what we were supposed to be doing there. The second place was NOT good at all and you should drop it from the tour -- the winery was Casanova. Again, Simon dropped us off and the people inside had no interest in us at all. The man that helped us was very "put out" by us being there and to obtain any information from him was like pulling teeth. Then it was time for lunch, and our options for that were not clear at all, but Simon did take us to a great little restaurant. The last winery -- Casa Emma -- WAS WONDERFUL! They were warm and welcoming, gave a GREAT tasting, and took us around the wine cellar and fields. It made the whole day worth it. Then Simon took us to a shopping "square" and again, we did not know what we were doing there. Thankfully, Casa Emma and the beautiful countryside made up for the poor tour guide and the one poor winery. I think you need to correct some things related to this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you Anne for this review. We always appreciate comments. We are sorry that you did not enjoy the day. Our driver Simon, is very shy and can be stressed by a larger group. For a private tour you have spent only around 70 euros per person. This does not mean that is a lower service, but it shows us that we cannot give more than we should, and will increase the prices.

Great Transportation, Okay Guide
Had Simon as our guide. He didn't seem particularly interested or knowledgeable in wine or the regions we were visiting, which made it a more self-guided experience. Regardless, we enjoyed our day and this was a great way to access far-away wine regions (Hilltop Montepulciano, Brunellos in Montalcino) that we wouldn't otherwise have been able to see in a short trip. Tips to improve for future tours: Give information on why we are visiting the particular wineries that are on the itinerary. And build in some more time to sip wines in a place with views of the beautiful countryside. We were also asked to change the date of our tour. It worked out fine for us, but it's a bit strange that this seems to be a common occurrence.

DELICIOUS WINE
Really helpful guide, knew what they were talking about, learned a lot about the region. The wine was to die for - if you love wine you'd love this trip. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Ultimately very it worth it.

Great tour, great guide
Giacomo made our day! He provided a ton of information about the region and the specific wineries. He was flexible and accommodated requests happily. We really enjoyed the fortress in Montalcino!

Nice tour
K. We were contacted to tell us that our half day tour had been canceled and whether we would like a reimbursement or to change it for a full day tour at no additional price. We chose not to cancel as I had researched this and wad already in Italy. We later found out that they had tried to cancel the other couples tour but they said no so I guess that is why they gave us the option. I would say that Simon wad a very nice person but we had a hard time hearing him in the back seat and my sister went to the front to sit so that she could hear him. We also had a bit of a problem understanding him but that was okay add we could make most of it out when we could hear him. The region and wineries he took us were excellent and were we had lunch, was delicious. I am glad that they offered the change because I would have missed this part of Tuscany if we had done the half day tour and for that I am thankful even though we missed exploring Florence city. Overall, the tour was very nice and if they don't change people's plans, it would be perfect. It would be nice if they realized that one plans this ahead of time and we cannot change just because they do not have enough people.

The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience cost?
+
Prices start at $527 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 The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 7 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 The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience?
+
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 The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience 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 The Complete Wine Tour Brunello, Nobile, Chianti wine experience?
+

+
