• "I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD BE MY BEST DAY IN FLORENCE. It was probably my best day in Italy. The food, the scenery, the knowledge and encouragement of the guide all added to a great experience.
  ...
  The day in Chianti with The Accidental Tourist group was one of the best days we spent in Italy. The combination of biking, wine and olive oil tasting and lunch made for a perfect day. I would highly recommend it for someone looking to get away from the maddening crowd of Florence for a day! PERFECTO!"

I wish you great success and hope that you don’t have to change the nature of this trip, as it was the highlight of our 3 weeks in Europe."
