Great way to see classic Tuscany!

The tour was great, and we really enjoyed Sebastian leading the tour for us. He had great explanations of the different towns we were arriving at. I also liked that you learn about the towns on the bus and you have free time while there (outside of the wine tastings) to explore on your own.

Beautiful day in Val d’Orcia

This was a great day trip from Florence. Our guide Carmella was great and so knowledgeable about the history of the region and the towns we were visiting. It felt like the perfect amount of time in each place too. Montepulciano was almost empty in the morning as our first stop and the wine tasting there was great, even with it being 10am! We had a great lunch in Pienza at the next stop and took in the beautiful views. Montalcino was the final stop and felt like a town out of a storybook.

Amazing full day in 3 charming towns

We had an absolutely amazing day on the Val d’Orcia private tour visiting Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano. Each town was uniquely beautiful and full of charm, with stunning views of the Tuscan countryside at every turn. The Brunello wine tasting was a true highlight—exceptional wines at a continuous family run vineyard going back 27 generations (1500's). The luncheon at a local farm, complete with thoughtful wine pairings, was equally memorable and gave us a real taste of the region. Although the weather was cold and windy, it didn’t take away from the experience at all—we still fully enjoyed the breathtaking landscapes and atmosphere of these incredible towns. A special thank you to Christian, our driver, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and a true pleasure to spend the day with. This tour was a perfect way to experience Tuscany, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Our guide Simone was prompt in picking us up and took us to many marvelous locations in southern tuscany. He provided interesting history and anecdotes about many sites during our drive and then he had detailed recommendations on the highlights to see, eat, drink, and experience at each one of our stops. He was incredibly generous with his time and we were all very grateful for his patience as we hit a huge amount of traffic on the way home. Every single person in my family fell asleep as poor Simone endured the long drive home. We absolutely loved this adventure and we were so grateful for Simone's kindness and expertise.
