Florence: Wine Windows & Hidden Legends Evening Tour

The start of our tour was late due to the fact that the meeting point instructions state next to a kiosk which is no longer there, but after asking several people we eventually found our guide. It was only the two of us on the tour which could have been difficult but our guide became like our third friend and we had a lovely evening. There is only one wine window on the tour when we did expect a few more. If anything I would suggest another wine window instead of the olive oil tasting surprise!

👎Our tour was the worst i have ever experienced. Tour guide Sylvia, was late. We walked for about 45 minutes to an olive oil store/demonstration which was the best portion of the tour. Our guide seemed to be lost;read from a script. The other 2 males both noted that she seemed drunk. 1 man said that she was asking local waiters if they had a wine window…. The description said we would visit 7-8 wine windows, be able to purchase wine & get 1 free glass of wine, which we did. We had to ask Sylvia explicitly & the 2 males would shout “wine windows” “vino” until i walked up by her , listened to her spiel and asked is that when will start seeing the wine windows? She said that the city is filled with wine windows, you can see them in many buildings. I walked back & the 6 of us on the tour began to compare notes. After that she did show us 1 closed up wine window & our final stop was a working window. No one tipped her. She walked too fast, didn’t stop for pics, missed several photo ops.
