Our guide Michaela was amazing! She was so informative and recommended so many places along the way and near our hotel. They brought us to an amazing vineyard and showed us amazing views in Montepulciano and Pienza. Highly recommend!!
Our tour with Michaela and Max was exceptional! We took a tour to Montepulciano and Pienza and it included the perfect wine tour. It was a perfect way to spend our day exploring the most quaint little towns in Tuscany! Thank you for making our day so memorable!
Max , Martina and Carola were excellent. Max was a steady safe non exasperated driver , funny too. Martina keep a great schedule so there was no rushing or unnecessary down time. When she and Carola got to describing the sites it was magical. The wine tasting was lovely. Well thought out and of course the vino 🍷 yummy. Great break out of hustle and bustle of Rome
