Fun winery and spa tour!

I recently went on a day trip with Smart Trip. What was included in the Trip was a visit to a winery, an authentic Italian lunch, wine tasting and a trip to the thermal baths! The meal was amazing. We had cheese and meat, two types of pasta, a nice pork and dessert. We were also able to taste a delicious white wine, a mouth watering chanti and a sweet strawberry wine. I was very impressed! Just to warn, they are very generous on their pours and how much food they give you so be prepared! It was a great way to see the Italian countryside. All of the stress was taken off of me, and I was able to focus on enjoying myself. I forgot my towel for the spa but I was able to rent a robe and all was good! The staff was also very knowledgeable and personable. The transportation was also very nice. It was a nice comfy coach bus and even snoozed a little on our way back to Florence. Definitely recommend!

10/10 Recommend

I recently joined Smart Trip on the Spa, Wine, & Tuscany Countryside tour. Although I'm not a fan of wine, I thoroughly enjoyed each stop on this day-long tour of one of the most beautiful areas in the world. The thermal spas were extremely relaxing and made for a great start to the day. We enjoyed a tour of a traditional winery and learned about the history of wine making in the region. After a tour of the winery, we were treated to three different types of wine (white, red, and strawberry), followed by endless pasta and appetizers. The food was delicious & so was the wine, according to my friends. We ended the trip with just enough free time in Cortona to see all the highlights. Overall, this trip was great, and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the Tuscan countryside!

Amazing Experience!

Smart Trip made my study abroad experience so much better! The weekend trips are also amazing but this day trip was a highlight. They hook you up with unlimited food and wine, and amazing photo ops in the vineyard.

My guides were amazing and I would do it again in a heartbeat! We took a fairly short bus ride to the spa to start, with an amazing set of seven pools all with different temperatures, it was a great place to relax after a night out. Just as you start to get hungry, they take you for an amazing food and wine tasting which absolutely exceeded my expectations. With red wine, white wine, and then a dessert wine after you will have plenty. Along with that, the workers at the vineyard will refill your cup as much as you want. I had to decline the pasta because they gave us so much. Three separate courses of pasta after we had every Italian appetizer you can imagine. This tour is so worth the money and smart trip is a phenomenal company!
