Something You Can Only do in Florence - This tour was such a fun and informational experience. I felt like I was walking through Florence with a new friend, who shared lots of fun facts and history about Florence. The wine windows are such a cool tradition, and I love them many of them are operational once again. I would highly recommend this tour!

A great way to learn about Florence’s wine history - Vera was an excellent guide! We were a group of 5 and she navigated us through the busy streets with ease! She is a great storyteller and has great knowledge of the history of the wine windows . We loved ending at the tasting room and bought several bottles to ship home. Highly recommend Vera and the whole adventure!

Excellent tour! We loved Vera! - This was a last minute add-on for us but we’re all very happy we did. Vera, our guide, was excellent and it was a great mix of information on wine and the history of wine windows as well as history of Florence in general. The tasting at the end was also excellent. I forget the name of the sommelier, but she was also very knowledgeable and flexible with the requests made by our group.
