Our private wine and cheese tour was expertly guided by Matteo. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the tour and Matteo made the experience much more enjoyable by being able to bridge the language gap and be a wealth of knowledge about the region. This tour enabled us to visit a part of Tuscany that would be difficult to access on our own. We visited a small working farm, witnessed cheese being made, saw the different livestock, and were served a delicious lunch by the family. Our tour was completed with a visit to a winery with a long history. Should we return to this region of Italy we will be utilizing this tour company again. We have made recommendations to all of our friends.
Pier was an incredible tour guide. He picked us up on time, was so nice, and taught us a lot about Italy and Wine! We did the private wine and cheese tour in Chianti. Pier took us to boutique vineyards, so we got to meet the people behind it and learn how it works. We ate DELICIOUS food, drank INCREDIBLE wine, and met the KINDEST people. My friends and I were not sure what we were getting into, but by the end of the day we all agreed it was our best day
