Recommended Tuscany minibus driver-guides Posted By: Jack Benson Things to see and do at Panzano in Chianti, Tours and excursions from Panzano Recommended Tuscany minibus tour driver-guidesHere are our top recommendations for knowledgeable, English-speaking minibus drivers for tours anywhere in Tuscany For visitors to Tuscany who don’t drive or don’t wish to drive, there is an excellent alternative to public transport which allows you to create your own tour, namely, a private minibus driver guide. Our three recommendations all speak excellent English and are very knowledgeable about all aspects of Tuscan life, history and art. They have pre-planned tours that you can choose or, alternatively, are happy to work with you to create your own day tour. Although obviously more expensive than using public transport, these car and minibus tours are far more comfortable and much, much more efficient. The vehicles are air-conditioned and the drivers are licensed to drive into areas that are closed to ordinary traffic. And, of course, if you engage a driver-guide for a wine tour, you will be able to taste, indeed, drink, as much wine as you wish without having to think about driving afterwards. All of our drivers are thoroughly conversant with the wines and wineries of Tuscany, and they will be able to arrange tastings at wineries not usually open to the pubic, and also midday snacks and meals at wineries.
