4.00Bus ride uncomfortable due to seats too close. I’m 5’ 6’ barely room for knees on long ride. Enjoyed the guide narrative. Enjoyed the stop at a huge store with products of the area.
It looked just like it does in the movies <3

4.00This was a great experience taking a bus out to the Tuscan region from Rome. The drive was long and the morning started out rainy, but once the sun came out, the views were STUNNING from the tops of the hills. The wine cellar tour was interesting and the wine tasting lunch was a little crowded but overall, the day was still well organized and fun. We really enjoyed the delicious handmade pasta (make sure to ask for extra since they don't give out much). Also, wear COMFORTABLE SHOES!!! One lady showed up in heels and was pretty miserable from all that walking in the towns, I felt bad for her. Our tour guides Ana and Massimillio were also great!
Fabulous day in Tuscany!
