We enjoyed a great day with Errica our guide & Roberto our driver. We enjoyed a tasting of local products, a tour of Montepulciano (by local guides).Followed by a three course lunch with wine tasting. All made and or grown on the farm at Ristorante Fattoria Pulci and visit to Pienza. Try the pecorino gelato. Not to everyone’s liking but you have to try. Our guide Errica shared great information and made our day very enjoyable. The landscape is amazing.
It was great to be back in Tuscany. I took my sister, this was her first time in Italy. She loved everything, the food, the people, architecture and country side.
This might be our favorite excursion we took on our trip. Tuscany is beautiful, and Sarah did a great job with our tour. The highlight was Montepulciano where we had lunch at an Italian farm witn the most amazing food and wine. Super fun day seeing a lot in one trip. Highly recommend.
Full day of exploring beautiful Italy, great overview of Tuscany and comfortable bus ride with our great-safe driver Paolo! Marisa was great host and kept us informed and on time with all the activities, Grazie tante!!!
Very punctual, comfortable transport, and the guide is a true professional. Montepulciano, wonderful view, pure air, and greenery all across the horizon. Good service, delicious lunch, and good wine.
Lots of walking including some climbing steep hills for short distances. Beautiful scenery. Worth the time!
Great tour with Patritzia and Luca. Fernanda was a great tour guide. It was a fun filled day with a tour, lunch and wine. There are some hills on the tour but they were manageable for the 12 year old and the 75 year old. I highly recommend it!!
A perfect day tour to get a hint of the Tuscany region. Exploring Montepulciano and Pienza was amazing and the views are spectacular. The lunch served by a historic family and tasting their wines did not disappoint. I would recommend visiting if you have the time for an easy day trip! Much thanks to Jonathan for his knowledge and introduction to the history of the region.
The Tour was great! John (the tour guide) was extremely informative and knowledgeable about Italy and its history as a whole. We visited quite a few places, yet most amazing part was the Wine. He took us to a winery in Tuscany (or Toscani, as the locals would write it) that had been in existence since the 1500s and is still ran by the same family, which alone, is worth trip.
Great experience, the guide Jonathan was excellent. I recommend it!
