Sadly this was a disappointment

2.00Honestly when you think Tuscany you think wine beautiful food and country side. This was not special or unique. 50 ppl in a bus, then when you finally get the lunch, there were so many ppl and you were INSIDE not outside thanking in Tuscany, the wine and the food sadly average and felt like it was a mass production. On a crazy timeline. Would not recommend if you are looking for somthing special.
A lovely way to spend your day!

Honest review of Tuscany Day Trip

3.00I had naively assumed when the description said private tour it would be just that - a private tour with our group of 11. I did not realize we would be on a charter bus full of other people. The bus was adequate with decent air conditioning and the driver was excellent on those extremely narrow streets. We stopped on the way there and back at what can only be described as a tourist trap where they were selling many overpriced products. We were told that we would be stopping at a cafe. A cafeteria would have been a more adequate description. However - when we finally arrived at Montepulciano - it was breathtaking! Such an amazing quaint village! Our guide there was fantastic!! We arrived there a day after a concert in the town square so unfortunately they were taking down the large stage and there was such loud noise and deconstruction happening but I can imagine without that it would be quite lovely. We ate lunch at the winery there and it was disappointing. There was no teaching on how to make pasta. We were in a very large room with no air conditioning or fans. If there had been any air flow it would have helped tremendously! The wine was okay as was the pasta. I was expecting exceptional food and wine - not the case. I attempted to purchase a bottle of their balsamic vinegar afterward but found out it was 140 euros and they were out of any smaller bottles. Our next stop was Pienza. Another truly beautiful little town but we had very little time here so it felt quite rushed. Our guide Errica was truly wonderful!! She was extremely knowledgeable of the history of this region and an overall joy! She kept everyone on time but didn’t make you feel rushed. This is my honest review of this trip. In the end it was worth it to see these amazing little towns but the wine/food experience was sub par.
Tuscany a great day out.

5.00We 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.
Lovely experience

5.00This 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.
Beautiful Tuscany<3
