We loved the wine tour and our guide, her husband was the chef at the winery. She was so fun & it was a great day.  Simona, our guide in Florence was fantastic and very informative. I had 3 people out of the 8 of us who had never been to Florence and said she really gave a great tour. Thank you for all your help. Judy G.
