Favolosa esperienza in Toscana. Ogni giorno un turbinio di panorami nuovi ed emozionanti, sapori enogastronomici e bei ricordi. Tutti i dettagli che non avremmo potuto fare da soli. Meglio di quanto avessimo mai immaginato, Grazie Mille Sam, Marco & Crush, Bruce & Lynne Robertson, Touring Tuscany, Oct. 13-20, 2024 (Fabulous Tuscany experience. Every day a whirlwind of new and exciting views, food and wine flavors and fond memories. All the details we couldn't have done ourselves. Better than we ever imagined.)

This trip was very special to me, filled with wonderful people and experiences. Everything was impeccably planned and I was never left guessing. I learned so much about wine and Tuscany. Thank you!

By Kimberly M for Touring Tuscany on Oct 29, 2024

A very well organized and executed trip, which was exactly as described. Local guide, who traveled with us, was excellent, and city guides were also very good. A good mix of wineries, sightseeing, and free time. Group meals were very enjoyable. Sam traveled with us and was always as accommodating as possible, as well as supportive, including when I unexpectedly experienced a 24 hour stomach virus. Will definitely travel with them again.

We had a great experience. Sam attended to all of our needs and planned an excellent trip. Marco our week long guide was very knowledgable and answered all of our questions with great insight. We were with a wonderful group of people which made the experience even more memorable. Great job Crush Wine Experiences.

By John G for Touring Tuscany on Oct 23, 2024

It was a fantastic trip. Sam and Marco were great hosts and guides. The small group format allowed us to get to know our fellow travelers and to make new friends. The local guides were excellent and the selected wineries were both welcoming and very good. I've been on other tours with other outfits and this one stands above the others as far as itinerary, value and organization. I highly recommend Crush Wine Experiences whether you travel alone, as a couple or with your friends.
