It was good experience to travel with international community (people) from all parts of world in mini bus with excellent driver (forgot the name) and tour leader Martina. In return, despite of traffic back to Florence due to accident on highway, the driver well managed to reach the group at the given time (7.30 pm) which is much appreciated. He was cool in driving and was empathetic to give biological emergency break to co-traveller. Martina was excellent to share each and every details showing her in-depth knowledge of region and Italian culture.
A beautiful day of memories

My husband, daughter and I did this tour because I really wanted to visit Pienza. This tour was a great way to get to see Montepulciano (including a winery), Pienza and Montalcino (beautiful outdoor wine tasting). Our guide Alex was fabulous. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. At the end of our tour he asked each family if they wanted advice or help. With his help we were able to visit Pisa the next day on our own. I highly recommend this tour. Beautiful places!!!
A dream come true to be in Tuscany!

It was the best experience ever being in Tuscany! The Val D’Orcia was amazing! Our tour guide Leo was the best! He educated us of the 3 amazing towns we would see. Montepulciano, Montalcino and Pienza. They were all a dream come true! The wine tasting and the Pecorino cheese were so delicious! The towns were like being in a dream, so beautiful! Best trip ever!!!
