Hello to all. I am planning a trip to Italy in June/July of 2023 with my son, his wife and their then to be 11-year-old daughter. We will be in Florence for just two full days. We'd like to do one of the half day wine tasting tours, leaving in the afternoon, from Florence. There seems to be a hand full of choices that match that description that I have found online. As much as the description of each of the tours sounds like what we're after the review seem very mixed. The same tour that one person described as a great experience is described by another as something awful with breakdowns, lack of AC and rude proprietors. Can anyone offer some recommendations for a tour operator that could be depended on to offer a pleasant afternoon in the Tuscan countryside?

For a full day wine tour from Florence: Our tour with Tuscan Trails was back in 2014, but the reviews on Trip Advisor are still excellent.

We took the "Chianti afternoon wine tour" for E100/2 persons thru Viator. I tried to find a smaller tour, but was unable to do so.
It lasted 4 hours. I would give it 3/5 stars. We went to 2 wineries, 1 mid-level, 1 high-level. We stopped in 2 villages. It was a big bus with 60 or so persons. The wines were interesting. The stops were fun, in the second village in particular. Like all tours, there was no option to stay longer or do anything outside of the tour program.
