Reviews of Small Group tours to Tuscany
- Private Gourmet Wine Tour in Tuscany, Italy
The best we could ever hope for!! Villa Lecchi was beyond our dreams. The views were spectacular of Tuscany. All of our tour guides were fantastic. And the food and wine was so good. Massimo our driver was incredible. Thank you for planning such a wonderful experience!!
- Florence: Amazing Tuscany & Cinque Terre: Semi-Escorted Tour 2025
I didn't know Montecatini Terme before, but from the moment I arrived, I felt at home. I was warmly welcomed at the airport, and the transfer to the hotel was easy, even though I was exhausted after all those hours of flying! The staff of the local tour operator explained every detail of the itinerary and even provided 24/7 assistance for any needs. Truly wonderful people! It was the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. We had the chance to unwind and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Montecatini with two days off, mixed with planned excursions like wine tasting, where we met a couple from Canada and another from England, all on the same tour with Ranieri Tour Operator, the local provider. We shared an amazing visit to Florence and an unforgettable day at Cinque Terre. I can still almost smell the sea!. Tuscany is absolutely beautiful, even more than I could have imagined, and everything is so easy to get to.
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 !
Two Hearts in Tuscany: an Escape for 2
What our customers ask about Tuscany Small Group Tours
What regions of Tuscany are typically covered in small group tours?
Small group tours take you through the heart of Tuscany including Florence Siena San Gimignano and the Chianti wine region. The tours also venture into quieter areas like Val d'Orcia and Garfagnana that larger buses can't reach. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our intimate group size allowed us to explore hidden gems like Barga and Volterra places larger tours can't easily access." Most tours use strategic accommodation locations such as the Hotel Plaza Lucchesi in Florence and Dimora dell'erbe in Montepulciano as base points for daily excursions.
What are the accommodation options for small group tours in Tuscany?
The accommodations blend boutique hotels with traditional agriturismos (farm stays) across Tuscany. Guests might find themselves at Agriturismo Il Piastrino nestled in Chianti's vineyards or within the stone walls of Palazzo Renieri in Colle Val d'Elsa. Most properties are run by local families creating a more personal connection to the region. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Staying at smaller family-run hotels like Hotel La Luna in Lucca gave us an authentic feel of Tuscan hospitality and allowed us to connect with local hosts in a way that wouldn't be possible in larger hotels."
What is the best time of year for small group tours in Tuscany?
The optimal seasons for small group tours fall during spring (April-May) and early fall (September-October). These months offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds at popular sites like San Gimignano's towers and Siena's Piazza del Campo. Tour data shows May is particularly popular when wildflowers dot the countryside. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Traveling in a small group in May meant we could easily find tables at local restaurants in Siena and had space to really appreciate the art in Florence's galleries."
What dining experiences are available on small group tours in Tuscany?
The small group format opens doors to local dining spots that larger tours can't access. Groups enjoy meals at family trattorias private tastings in Montepulciano wine cellars and dinner in Chianti family homes. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our group of 12 had fantastic experiences dining at small local restaurants like La Frateria near Cetona where we could interact with the chef and learn about traditional Tuscan cooking techniques."
What level of personal attention can I expect on a small group tour in Tuscany?
Groups typically range from 8-12 travelers per guide ensuring direct access to local expertise. This smaller ratio allows for detailed explanations at sites like Florence's Uffizi Gallery or Siena's Duomo with time for individual questions. One TourRadar traveler commented: "Our guide at Agriturismo La Pietriccia could spend quality time with each person during cooking classes and wine tastings making the experience much more meaningful than in a large group."
What makes small group tours ideal for exploring Tuscany's medieval towns?
The compact size of 8-12 travelers allows easy access through narrow medieval streets artisan workshops and small museums without overwhelming these intimate spaces. Groups can move quickly through towns like San Gimignano and Volterra stopping at local craft shops along the way. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Being in a small group meant we could explore at our own pace and really absorb the medieval atmosphere of these beautiful towns."
