5.00We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed Tuscany. Both Montepulciano & Pienza were beautiful and very relaxing. Gorgeous views of the countryside and great shops with handmade goods. The lunch and wine that we had was amazing and the sisters who ran the winery were so sweet. Loved Megan, our tour guide - she’s so very nice. Highly recommend this tour!

4.00Some walking was expected. Told on bus about steep hill climbing. More than expected. But glad i was persistent. Our walking guide was Barbara and she was fantastic. Knowledgeable and funny. Perfect mix for an excellent tour guide. Erricka was our bus guide. She was super knowledgeable about the area. Wanted us to know about the area. Had the bus drive slow down as she was bringing sights to our attention. Lunch was ok. Liked the wine tasting.
Perfect Tuscany Day!

5.00Eriika is a force of nature, embodying both energy and enthusiasm. Her first impression might suggest she’s serious, but in reality, she’s incredibly hilarious and quick-witted. I couldn’t quite tell where she channels her boundless energy. Still, she’s remarkably knowledgeable, especially about local history, and takes every opportunity to share insightful instructions on meeting points and interesting facts during the tour. Throughout the experience, she was constantly present at every corner, ensuring no one got lost and everyone was engaged. Meanwhile, Danielo displayed professionalism and expertise behind the wheel, comfortably driving long hours and handling the vehicle with ease and safety. His calm demeanor added a reassuring touch to the journey. This tour was phenomenal—highly recommended for anyone seeking an enriching experience. Everything was perfectly organized —from the picturesque locations and interesting landmarks to the delicious local food and exquisite wines —making the entire adventure memorable.

5.00Barbara was very knowledgeable and made the trip to Montepulciano and Tuscany fun. Antonio got us there and back safely driving the bus. The places she took us to were amazing and the lunch at Pulcino was perfect along with the wine tasting. Cecilia and her sister Angela were excellent hostesses there and treated us all like family. The views were amazing everywhere we went. Make sure to stop for a drink and/or a dessert at Caffe Poliziano and sit outside as you enjoy the time
