Highly recommend you take this when visiting Florence to see the most beautiful areas of the Chianti Region you otherwise could not. Lavi was the best tour guide we had on our whole trip to Italy and made the day so much fun! She is very knowledgeable about wine and we learned a lot. Romelu did a great job driving those streets as well!

This was a fantastic option if you are short on time and want to see a bit of Tuscany and experience some fabulous food and wine. Alex is a great host and catered to everyone. Although the faulty air conditioning in the truck nearly turned me into a raisin, the quality of the tour more than made up for this. Great quality wines from small produces, excellent food and amazing locations. Worth every penny.

10/10 recommend this tour! Gloria and Romolo (I hope I spelled that right) were great guides for the day. Gloria is so knowledgeable about all things wine, olive oil, and Florence and Tuscany in general. All three of the wineries we visited were beautiful and the staff was very helpful. The lunch was delicious and my wife and I really enjoyed eating family style with all the other people on the tour. This wasn’t just a wine tasting. We got to see some really beautiful villas, vineyards, and gardens. The whole experience felt perfectly curated. Something I really appreciated was that we were never on the bus for too long. 30-40 minutes at most. Overall really great tour and a rather inexpensive way to experience the Tuscan countryside compared to staying in Tuscany, and getting around on your own.

Gloria and Romola were awesome. This was our first event in Italy, but we’ve been on a couple dozen wine tours before — this was one of the best. The pacing, the scenery, the narrative, and of course the food and wine were all excellent! I’d book another Walkabout tour in a heartbeat.

There is a reason this tour has all 5-star reviews. The tour guide, Alex, is one of the biggest reasons. He is such an easygoing, knowledgeable person who is a legit sommelier. I felt like I finally knew how to enjoy wine after hearing his descriptive explanations all day, and he’s just downright fun to listen to! And this unique 4x4 trip is a blast to ride, I’ve never done anything like it! They gave us 3 completely different winery experiences, my favorite was the last Villa Poggio Torselli. Breathtaking, picturesque, and just extremely fun, even on a rainy day like we had, do not miss this experience!!

Best Wine Tour We’ve Ever Been On!
Susana_P
, May 2022
My husband and I did this tour on our honeymoon. Everything was perfect! The 3 wineries we visited were fantastic. In the first one, you get a tour of the grounds and the wine making process. Then you get a wine tasting with a salami pairing. The second winery is where you do an olive oil tasting, wine tasting, and have lunch. Beautiful views! For the final winery, you get another tour of the grounds with a final wine tasting and cheese pairing. You get plenty of time at each winery to enjoy your wines as well as the ambience. The best part of the tour though was Alex! He’s an awesome tour guide…very funny and full of information about the Chianti region and the wine making procedures of Italy. 100% would recommend this day tour!
