Valentina (our tour guide) and Janni (our bus driver) were both exceptional and made this day trip a true delight! Everything was very well coordinated and Valentina gave us some very interesting information about the region of Tuscany as well as Rome. The two places we went to, Montepulciano and Pienza were wonderful and the landscapes breathtaking! We highly recommend 👌

Chiana and Julio were great. The Tuscany region is very scenic. Essentially no crowd, which was awesome, except many of the stores were closed since it was offseason. Overall a great tour

It was a long day. The towns visited were nice and pleasant. Worth the trip. Just be aware the food at the selected restaurant leaves alot to be desired. I would suggest bring along some food to eat. Be sure to utilize bathrooms when you can as both towns it was difficult to find public restrooms (which is normal in Europe). The tour guide was very pleasant and communicative.
Well Organized--Highly Recommend

Great experience! Starts early, so most breakfast places are closed... except McDonald's!! which was nearby, btw (done by design?) The tour was well organized. We got to see and do a lot on our day-trip to Tuscany.
