Great day visiting some of the lesser known places in Tuscany, perfect if you want to explore more of Tuscany outside of Sienna etc.
Good Morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Kate, Thank you for sharing your experience!

Montepulciano, Montalcino, and Cortona offer a wonderful glimpse into the authentic beauty and character of the region. We hope to welcome you back to explore even more of Tuscany! Warmest wishes from the Tuscan countryside, The Caf Tour & Travel Team
Marta is a great guide. She’s kind, thoughtful and personable. Our day was extremely hot and she thought ahead about keeping us cool and in the shade. Notably, she asked if we’d like to get a shuttle up the steep hills of Montepulciano and we all agreed. It really added to the experience, eliminating the long climb to the top and saved us all the heat and exhaustion of walking. For future tours I would say it’s a must to be included in all your tours to Montepulciano. My husband and I especially enjoyed the wine tasting with a light lunch. Cortona and Montalcino were lovely and worth the stops. Rogero is a courteous and good driver. This tour was perfect to give my husband and I a brief introduction to the area so we can be prepared to return with our family.
Good Morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Teresa, Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're delighted that Marta's care, attention, and thoughtful suggestions helped make your day comfortable despite the summer heat. It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed Montepulciano, Montalcino, Cortona, and the wine tasting, and we'll gladly share your appreciation with both Marta and Ruggero. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Tuscany very soon. Warm greetings from Italy, The Caf Tour & Travel Team
We booked this tour for our family of 4, 2 adults & 2 kids. Upon arrival, the tour operator informed us they did not have confirmation of our 2 kids' reservations. We did not get to go on the tour and spent over $830 for the four of us, which was paid in full months prior to the date of the tour. We were told by the tour operator that their "system" must have had an issue and there was simply not enough space for our family of four. The exact same thing happened to the family we were traveling with - the 2 adult were confirmed and the tour operator did not have their child confirmed. Since all 3 kids are minors (ages 14 and under) we were not going to leave them in Florence for the day while the adults left. Additonally and suspiciously, since this was to be a small group tour and there was a large Mercedes van being worked on right behind the tour operator, we are wondering if they simply couldn't take us due to mechanical issues with the vehicle. Of course, that is speculation on our end. Since reaching out to Viator about this, we have been given the runaround, told that the tour operator said we arrived late to check in for the tour (which is not true), and that because of that, we were in violation of the policy and thus everyrthing was out fault. Also, we weretold we will not receive a refund. At the end of the day, regardless of what time we had shown up, the tour operator told us there was no room for our children, nor our friend's child. That is the bottom line. We should not have to pay for something when what occurred was in no way our fault. Needless to say, after planning a 12-night trip to Italy and being excited for this and all other experiences we had planned, including 4 other tours booked through Viator, this was not only disappointing, but Viator has handled this matter egregiously and unprofessionally. I will never book anything with Viator again unless they make this right.
Dear Jessica, We are sorry that this experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify several important points, as the description provided in this review does not accurately reflect what occurred. First, the refund was not declined because you arrived at the meeting point after the scheduled departure time, when the tour had already left. As clearly stated in the terms and conditions accepted at the time of booking, late arrival is treated as a no-show and does not entitle guests to a refund or rescheduling. We acknowledge that a system issue affected the visibility of the children’s reservations, and we regret that this technical error occurred. We are reviewing the matter internally. Nevertheless, even without this issue, your late arrival meant that participation would no longer have been possible, as the tour had already departed. Therefore, the refund policy would have applied in exactly the same way. Regarding the Mercedes van mentioned in the review, it belonged to another tour operator and was entirely unrelated to your booking. Unfortunately, the presence of another company’s vehicle near the meeting point does not mean that it was available for our guests, nor could we simply place passengers booked on our tour into another operator’s vehicle. We fully understand that missing a planned excursion is disappointing. At the same time, our policies regarding punctuality, missed departures, refunds and rescheduling are clearly communicated before booking and apply equally to all guests. We regret the technical booking issue, but the decisive factor in this case remains that late arrival. Warm regards
Excellent tour of Tuscany! Riccardo was an excellent guide and provided lots of information about each town we explored and made it fun to learn. He provided good recommendations for food/shopping. The bus was very comfortable and clean. Be prepared for quite a bit of driving between towns as well as walking up/down hills in each town, it's a full day! Totally worth the trip to see these areas outside of Florence!
Good Morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Customer, Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review of your Tuscan experience with us. We are delighted to hear that Riccardo helped make your journey both enjoyable and enriching, sharing stories, local insights and recommendations that added even more value to the day. Exploring gems like Montepulciano, Montalcino and Cortona truly offers an authentic taste of Tuscany, and we are so happy you found the experience worth every moment. We hope to welcome you again soon for more unforgettable discoveries across beautiful Italy. Warm greetings from Tuscany, Caf Tour & Travel Team
Really enjoyed the tour. We did a small tour - us 4 and 2 others. Our guide, Leo, was amazing. Really informative, kept us up w everything throughout the tour. Having a guide like him really made the tour a great experience. The three towns were beautiful. The wine tour was cool as well. Alessandra (wine tour guide) was fun and jovial. Thus far this was one of our favorites.
Good Morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Customer, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that this became one of your favorite experiences so far. Leo will be thrilled to know that his knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention throughout the day helped make the tour so memorable. We are also happy that you enjoyed the beautiful towns, the wine experience, and Alessandra’s engaging and cheerful approach. We hope to welcome you back soon to discover even more of Tuscany’s hidden treasures. A warm arrivederci from Italy, Caf Tour & Travel
