This trip was everything we were expecting and MORE! Our tour guide was the best part, Christina, who was exceptional in every way, making sure everyone was informed and clear on what to expect at every spot and very knowledgeable about everything we were encountering from the views to the wines to the locations and brilliant in telling us how to get the most out of each spot we made. Thank you Christina, job well done! Trip overdelivered.

Meeting point

Meet your guide wearing a purple T-shirt at 9:45 AM at the Piazza della Calza, directly in front of the Porta Romana at the blue P (parking) sign, near "San Giovanni Battista della Calza" church. From the train station, you have several options: walking, taking the bus or a taxi. If you choose to take the bus, catch bus n° 11 (direction Galluzzo-La Gora) to "Calza Serragli." Look for your guide standing a large gate identifiable by their purple uniform. Alternatively, opt for bus n° 36 or 37 to "Porta Romana" (which is located outside the gate, ensure you arrive on the inner side of the gate. If you are in front of the roundabout, you're at the wrong side).
