We are 3 female friends, not romantically involved:} and interested in this tour- could we add an additional day?

The tour you've originally inquired is a private 4-day itinerary created specifically for 2 guests. One of the key experiences included is a tuk-tuk ride on Day 3, which can accommodate only two travelers. For this reason, unfortunately, this itinerary isn't suitable for groups of three. The Ultimate Tuscany Tour is a 5-day tour that includes several similar experiences, plus an additional day in Chianti, making it a more relaxed and immersive journey. It can comfortably accommodate 3 guests and is ideal if you're looking to add an extra day to your itinerary.

Is it possible to join the tour if my daughter is not yet 18 on the departure date? Are there non-alcoholic alternatives to wine tasting?

It's absolutely fine for your daughter to join the tour, even though she will not yet be 18 at the start of the trip. During the wine tasting experience, we can arrange an alternative tasting of local non-alcoholic specialties, such as cheeses, olive oil, and cold cuts.

Is it ok to join with baby?

This tour is not suitable for a 15-month-old child, as none of the daily activities included are designed for such a young age. Several experiences involve aperitivo and wine tastings, and on Day 3 there is a Wine Tour by Tuk Tuk, which has a maximum capacity of two travelers. According to Italian law, children under 15 must travel in a child seat occupying a separate place, and holding a baby on one's lap in a moving vehicle is not permitted.

Can you please list the hotel accommodation in Florence? We need to understand how much time we have before meeting the group and arriving from the train.

We partner with many hostels, b&b's & 3* hotels in central Florence. Most of the them are located close to the train station like Yellow Hostel, Plus Florence, Ostello Bello, Eden Hotel, Hotel Palazzuolo etc...

This adventure seemed new when I booked and didn't have enough reviews but I went ahead as the itinerary looked great and matched our dates. The itinerary and people behind "Italy on a budget" and "Italy on Wheels" exceeded our expectations. We are a mid 40's couple and the places we were taken to where outstanding from a Tuscany famous winery, top cooking classes, to a night tour around Florence or the spa night and dinner. It was magical! There was two small glitches in the itinerary, not this company but their partner's, but the team was quick to respond to fix it. I am personally thrilled with the caring service we got. Thanks to Alessandro, Antonello, Veronica, Anastacia and many others that made this trip wonderful. Ci vediamo presto amici !Show more

Perfect getaway for anyone in need of a good rest and quality time with their partner. We loved every moment. Amazing tuk-tuk ride, easy bag transfers. Exquisite wine tasting with two course meal. The hotel in Tuscany with the room walking out onto one of the pools- amazing. Fantastic restaurant on site! Our SPA session was relaxing with a beautiful dinner (spectacular view) afterwards. Walking distance from medieval town.The tour guides were great, high energy, friendly and welcoming. I’m so glad I booked this as our Tuscany experience.Show more
