We wanted to see a little of ‘real’ Tuscany outside of Florence and were not disappointed!
Simone gave us excellent instructions before we arrived on getting to Dicomano- even adjusting our tour time to fit train schedules- and helped us explore and learn more about this beautiful area. He talked about the history of the area, showed us a traditional farmhouse and explained how people lived and farmed, and pointed out the local flora, inviting us to taste freshly picked figs, grapes and tomatoes, as well as smelling many herbs along the way.
The winery was also lovely, with incredible views (worth the hike!) and we were treated to 3 types of wine as well as delicious local produce including organic cheese, salami, bread and their own olive oil. At the end of the trip he went above and beyond- our bus back didn’t turn up so he gave us a lift to an alternative station so we could easily get back to Florence.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking something different on their trip to Florence- or even to explore this part of Tuscany further!
