    Excellent tour guide. Very informative about the history of the local area. Made sure every member of our group was safe and remembered everybody’s names. Took great photos for us.

    This tour was a beautiful way to experience the hills and countryside of Chianti. From start to finish, our guide Ben was incredibly informative and passionate. He took great care of the group, made sure we were all in line and traveled behind us at times so nobody was left behind. There is also a van on standby incase anyone needs it and decides they can not go any further. With the manual bikes this was comforting especially with the heat and the hills. I would suggest the e-bikes, but if you’re up to it the manual bike is a great challenge and work out (at least for me). We stopped along the way to take photos and hear a bit about the history of cultivating grapes to wine and olives to olive oil. Ben had a smile on his face the whole time and it is contagious if you need a little pick me up and reminder to enjoy the moment, he was a great one. I was not up for the last hill and I hopped in the van and had a great conversation with Lorenzo as well. Not many people can talk with me about my love for philosophy and science so I enjoyed every moment of our conversation. The winery was beautiful. We tasted three different wines and the olive oil. They have vegetarian options for lunch available and accommodate all dietary preferences. All in all, I’d give this tour a 10/10. Grateful for the experience 🙂

    The views of the Tuscan countryside were breath taking! The wine and lunch at the Tuscan vineyard were great! .They catered for my Daughter who is Vegan.We Made new friend’s from across the world and Angus our Guide was great and he gave us an insight to how the grapes of the region are grown. The actual bike ride was good but hard in a couple of places and i tended to lag behind but they always kept me in sight and the man in the bike van kept stopping along the road and asking if i was ok . Before the last hill to the Vineyard for Lunch i got off the bike and walked up the hill Lol! Even my Daughter who is fitter didn’t make it all the way up! We both haven’t been on a bike for over 6 year’s but we enjoyed the Tour and made great memories.

    This is a can’t miss tour ! We had such an amazing day biking through beautiful scenery ! Our tour guide was excellent and made everything fun (even offered to take photos for us when we stopped ). The tour ends at a magnificent castle with a tour of where they make wine and olive oil . Lunch was served (delicious ) at the end with lots of wine to taste . Also had an opportunity to purchase wine and olive oil at the end after a really great explanation of the wine choices . This quite possibly was the best tour we have ever taken

    This was a great experience for my husband and I and our two kids (mid-20’s). Ben was an awesome guide with a great personality and some insight into making wine! Definitely one of the best things we did in Italy! The ride was fun, just the right amount of time (2 hrs), and just enough of a challenge for everyone. The lunch at the castle was awesome and we all enjoyed the wine and olive oil tastings.
