5Our best day in Italy!
This was the absolute highlight of our Italian vacation, and that is saying something! Tania was a wonderful guide, very attentive and happy to share her knowledge of the area, the wines, and the history. The vineyard was gorgeous with amazing views. The limited group of 8 people really meant that you could connect and not be lost in the crowd.
5Vinci and wine tasting
Hi Tania and Valeria, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the wonderful excursions you organized for our group. The visit to Vinci with the wine tasting, the private tour, and tonight’s cooking class were all fantastic! You both organized everything with so much enthusiasm, kindness, and professionalism. My group and I have enjoyed every moment, and everyone is extremely happy. Thank you for making our stay so special!
5A very fun way to see Chianti
This tour experience was such a wonderful way to spend our afternoon in Tuscany! Our guide, Tania, was absolutely delightful, along with being very knowledgeable. We had so much fun touring Vinci, riding through the beautiful countryside, and then all enjoying wine, cheese, and chocolate together before a lively trip home. Tania also gave us recommendations on where to get dinner in the area, and the restaurant she directed us to was absolutely stunning - it was the cherry on top of a lovely day!

5Lovely Experience
Luigi was a friendly and knowledgeable guide, we could not have asked for better. the vineyard experience was informative and interesting, and in a beautiful location. Sandra, the food and the wine were all lovely. I highly recommend this trip.
5A very competent female guide
Tania was on time for the pick up. She was lively, interesting and interested in us. It was nice to have a woman guide since we were a group of four women.

About Montecatini Terme
Montecatini Terme is a spa town in Tuscany, with Belle Époque thermal pavilions, parks, a hilltop funicular and the Pinocchio village of Collodi nearby.
Montecatini Terme grew around its mineral springs in the Valdinievole, a plain between Florence and Lucca. The Tettuccio spa, a neoclassical pavilion with colonnades and frescoed halls, is where visitors have long sipped the waters, and the town's grand Liberty-style hotels and bathhouses stand among shaded parks. It is one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe on the World Heritage list.
