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.
