STOP SEARCHING AND BOOK THIS ONE!!!! - 6 Close Crazy Friends on an Italy Vacation!
Let me start with Gloria! Gloria is phenomenal at her job! You can tell that she really loves what she does! She shared personal stories with us, and was a wealth of knowledge about Tuscany. By the end of the day long wine tour, we felt like she was part of our friend group! She knew exactly what to say to make us laugh and when to just let us enjoy the moment. Tuscany is breathtaking but we would have no idea where to go or where to start without Gloria and the amazing driver Dominico. That man maneuvered us through spots and traffic that I thought would be impossible to get through. The vineyards are incredible. We got to go to a vineyard owned by an Italian Prince, and another Vineyard that is 600 years old (let that sink in!). The lunch at the second vineyard was really good so the walking around at the next vineyard will be a nice change. I can't tell you enough how much we enjoyed this wine tour. As friends we have all done trips together to Napa Valley and Texas Wine Country, but this one was by far the best one!! In fact we had such a great time that we completely forgot to get group pictures of the six of us. HAHAHA. Oh well. I blame it on the wine!
Anyways, we can't thank Gloria and Dominico enough for making our Friend's Vacation a trip to remember!! LOVE YOU GLORIA!!!
Love, the San Antonio 6!

We recently enjoyed a... - We recently enjoyed a private wine tour with our guide Alex, and it was hands down the best wine experience we’ve ever had! From the moment he arrived, it was clear that Alex was dedicated to making our day unforgettable. His knowledge of wines and the winemaking process was impressive, and he shared fascinating insights that truly enhanced our appreciation for each tasting.
Alex’s personality was a highlight of the tour—he was funny, charming, and incredibly friendly. His attentiveness to our preferences made the experience even more enjoyable!
The Tuscan lunch provided was outstanding! The ragu pappardelle with boars meat and black truffle ravioli were unforgettable. The private nature of the tour allowed for a more intimate experience, something we wouldn’t have achieved in a larger group.
We were also impressed by the high-quality vineyards we visited, each offering exceptional service. We even had more wine selections than we had originally planned! The comfortable transport added to the overall enjoyable experience.
I can’t recommend this tour enough, and while it may not be the cheapest option, it was worth every penny. Thank you, Alex, for being an incredible guide—your passion for wine and travel made our tour truly special!

Uniquely Tuscan - Fabio created a very memorable day for our private group. He kept us well informed of our schedule throughout the day. We did not feel rushed at all. Our group really enjoyed his insight and knowledge on all the wines we were tasting, along with the histories of each winery/vineyard. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience Tuscany in a very unique setting. We were driving along roads less traveled and witnessed incredible Tuscan scenery. A huge thank you to Fabio!

Exceptional wine tour with a top notch guide - Best wine tour we have done to date. It’s not cheap but worth every penny. High quality vineyards and wine selections. We were offered more selections of wines than originally scheduled. All the staff at each vineyard offered exceptional first class service. The lunch was really delicious and probably the best ragu and black truffle ravioli I have ever tasted. Most importantly. Our guide Alex is really knowledgeable about wines and a top notch guide! He’s so helpful, extremely pleasant and intriguing to have conversations with on wines, food and travelling. Transport was also extremely comfortable.

Amazing private wine tour for our honeymoon!! - My brand new wife and I had an amazing time on this wine tour. Our guide Alex couldn’t have done anything different to make this better, we had an absolutely amazing time! He was so knowledgeable about the wines and the process and imparted a good bit of that knowledge on us! He was funny, charming, personable, and very very friendly. My wife isn’t the biggest fan of red wines and he went out of his way to call the spots to include a white or roseate in the mix so that she could enjoy the tastings as well. This was so incredibly considerate. The Tuscan lunch provided was a highlight meal, and we were in Italy for 2 weeks so that’s saying a lot. Having a private tour allowed for a much more intimate and personable experience that I honestly know we wouldn’t have had elsewhere. I’ll finish up by praising Alex once more, and I’m sure all of the guides are amazing, but Alex is the man. This was the highlight of our honeymoon and we will cherish these memories for decades to come.

Fantastic!!! Fun!!! Delicious!!!! - With our wonderful guide, Alex
(Alessandro) at the helm our Chianti wine safari in beautiful Tuscany was one of the most memorable, special, fun experiences of our entire vacation in Italy! As we journeyed from Florence to the 3 wineries we visited Alessandro provided us with very interesting information and stories about Italy, Florence, Tuscany, the long history of Chianti wine making and the unique wine making production at each winery. We tasted some fantastic wines, and olive oils! We even bought an extra suitcase so we could bring several of those delicious bottles of wine and olive oils home with us!
Grazi Mille to Alessandro and Walkabout Tours! In addition to being a very knowledgeable sommelier, so charming, and great fun!!!!
we truly loved every minute of our wonderful Chianti adventures with Alessandro!!!!!

Fantastic Tour and Tasting in Chianti! - The winery tour was amazing!!! The third winery was the absolute highlight- such a stunning place with ancient paintings, statues and furniture and we could not have been looked after any better - the tasting was set up in a private room and and we were given a beautiful run through of the five wines we sampled (with three varieties of goat cheese!)! Fabian was a great guide, interesting and caring.

A perfect anniversary - We celebrated our 49th anniversary in style! Alex was a most excellent driver/guide for the day. It was just my husband and me and the day was perfect! From the wine tasting to the scenery to the backroad drives and to the eating of delicious food at every stop…perfect. Thank you so much!
