5.00A wonderful experience touring the countryside of Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino, Tuscany. Tuscany is everything you may have heard. The lush green rolling hills dotted with hamlets and villages. Our first stop was Montepulciano known for its famous Brunello wine and backdrops for several well-known movies. It's iconic of an Italian village. Nestled under a canopy a lovely table set for us to enjoy lunch in a quaint outdoor garden added ambiance to the experience. Completed the tour in Montelcino at local vineyard at memorable wine tasting. Our driver Claudio was generous with his time, prompt, and pleasant. We enjoyed getting to know him. The best part was the making of new friends.

5.00Gives a good teeny taste of small cities in Italy. Brought us to small towns and wineries. Short and sweet! Would have appreciated if the tour guide kept the passengers quiet whenever she talked. Some 3 passengers had loud private conversations that prevented other bus tourists from hearing what was being said by the tour guide.
