We had a wonderful time courtesy of our guide Placido. He took us to the Florence American Cemtery which was a beautiful resting place for thousands of American heroes that fought in Italy during WW2. We then moved on to Sienna, followed by lunch at the beautiful family owned Corbucci winery in the Chianti region in Tuscany. At the winery we had a delicious Italian lunch and received a wonderful education in wine from Francessco Corbucci. We left there with a finer appreciation for the craft of wine making, a healthy wine buzz, and and ordered some wine to be shipped to us in the US. After lunch we visited Sam Gimignano which was absolutely beautiful and capped our day off with a stop inside Florence with the absolute best view of the city. All throughout our journey we were peppered with a wealth of history and knowledge of the areas and wonderful picture spots where we took pictures in attempts to do the beauty of the region justice ( not possible). The combination of everything Placido, Francesco and the naturally stunning landscape brought to the experience was unforgettable. Thank you so much for enriching us all! If u get a chance to take this tour I highly recommend Placido and the Corbucci winery! You won't regret it.
