Tuscany is Gorgeous - The tour was small, it was informative and there was plenty of time to explore the areas on our own. The food and wine was exceptional. Our tour guide was excellent. Would highly recommend.

The best trip ever! - The trip was amazing! Perfect guide Julia and the driver Christian. They made this trip unforgettable. The place was the most beautiful that I ever seen. Also we were lucky to have a really good company- it was only three of us (our couple and really cool woman Mariana). We forgot to say bye after the trip, so if you’ll read this- it was nice to have a company like yours! Recommend this trip for everybody!

10/10 FABULOUS - This trip was perfect! Perfect amount of time to see Tuscany. Our driver Cristian was very kind and professional, and our guide giulia was fabulous! A great vibe and an amazing amount of knowledge about everything.. we had a very small group of 3 people so it was very personalized. We saw pienza which was absolutely beautiful and Montalcino where we had an amazing lunch with wine.. we ended the tour with the most amazing views of the valley.. a MUST experience.. u would choose this tour once and over again, thank you!

One of our bed ever tours! - The trip to Montalcino and Pienza was phenomenal! The lunch meal was delicious and made even better by the history and information about the wines from the area. Our tour guide, Chiara, did an outstanding job with translating into Spanish and English. She was patient, calm, and took the time to provide the history of wine making in the region.

All very beautiful! - The landscape and the villages are beautiful, it is all perfect, it seems like something out of a story, it is worth going. In addition, there are far fewer tourists and our group was small, just 7 people, which makes it much quieter. The villages are so small that they are very fast and easy to travel, something important to consider if they have been doing many days of walking and go in summer with very hot. The food and wine tasting was great and our guide also very considerate and attentive.

Great for exploring a less touristy side of Tuscany! - Loved this day trip so much! Despite a long drive, we actually had a lot of time in each place! Especially since the towns are on the smaller side, it felt like a decent amount of time in each place. The wine tasting was accommodating of vegetarian needs for food and our host was very friendly. We had maybe 10 people or less in our group, which was really nice. Recommend so highly!

Peaceful tour to the Tuscany countryside. - This was a lovely tour through the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The lunch with wine-tasting was divine. We were on a small bus in a group of 13 individuals, so it was a delightful break from the large bus tours that take 40+ people. The villages were quiet and uncrowded because the huge buses don’t come here en masse. Claudia was a good guide. This was a mixed English/Spanish tour, and because Claudia is a native Mexican, the Spanish-speaking people on the tour were at a definite advantage as Claudia’s English was at times difficult to understand.

Good tour but needed much more time in Montalcino and skip the abbey. - Claudia was amazing but the abbey visit was not good at all would definitely have preferred more time in Montalcino. The wine tasting and lunch took too long and was a long walk from tbe bus stop. Only had 15 mins to look around. Very disappointed in this but again, Claudia was great.

Great tour leader - Informative and interesting tour through a stunning landscape. Our guide Lucia was both pedagogical and easy to understand. The wine tasting was probably wasted on me though.
