Very interesting and the experience of wine tasting in the estate was good. Perhaps you could throw in another nearby famous place of interest.

I think for the price, view, location and stop in Greve, this was a trip that I would recommend. It would have been nice to be given a little more of an explanation on the wines as we were tasting, and also a third red wine, but overall it was a lovely afternoon and perfect for its price.

This was a good tour for my wife and I. It had nice scenery and was the right amount of time. It could be improved with some additional wine tasting. You taste two reds and one white. Going to the town of Chianti was nice as well; try the wild boar--it was really good. All in all, it was a nice quick tour, but if you are going more for the wine tasting try a different tour.

The ride into Chianti country was fun; it was nice not to be on our feet for an afternoon. The tour was just the right amount of time. The sampling of wine and Tuscan food was wonderful. Again, just the right amount and both were delicious. It was well worth the money!! We are very glad we took part in the tour/tasting.

Needed to explain about wines, how to taste and tell if good. More info about what we were tasting, more time to enjoy the wine.

The trip was interesting, but I would recommend that the coach stops at the town square first so some people could do some shopping if they wish. The wine tasting was lots of fun, and we all learned a lot about the making of the wine as well.

This is a very informative tour of the process of chianti wine making and also the beauty of the surrounding area. I would definitely do this trip again.

The tour guide was cute and funny. I don't like wine, but figured it was an experience I should not miss out on! The wine was probably wonderful. It was nice to get out of the city and tour the country side even if it was a bit drizzly.

We loved the tour and the wine! The castle was wonderful! I can understand that the winery would like you to taste its own products, but it would have been nice to compare to another chianti in this region or another.

We didn't get to see as much of the countryside as I had hoped, and only went to one small winery. However, it was a beautiful setting, the wine was great, and it was fun to see the difference between the quiet, proper ride on the way there and the louder, more fun ride on the way back after several bottles of wine and getting to know the other people on the tour. We made several friends with whom we met later near the Duomo for dinner and dancing.

Good tour, lots of wine for our table!!! You learn about Chianti, tour a cellar at a winery old castle - very pretty scenery. Went in December, but not too cold! Good for the wine beginner, not if you were a super duper wine snob though as you may already know what they tell you. I found it very interesting.
