Itinerary

  • Val D'Orcia

    Discover the postcard views of the green, rolling hills in Val d’Orcia. Meet your friendly, local tour guide at Piazzale Montelungo Bus Terminal. Piazzale Montelungo is located 5-10 minutes walking distance from Santa Maria Novella train station. Grab a seat on the comfortable coach bus, and you will shortly depart for the scenic beauty of Val d’Orcia! During the picturesque drive, your guide will dive into some interesting information about the towns and lush land of the Valley. The drive to Val d’Orcia will take about two hours.

    2 hours

  • Palazzo Comunale di Pienza

    If you selected the option while making the reservation, you will also have the entrance ticket to Palazzo Pubblico included in your visit, the then residence of the Priors that now hosts the town hall.

    1 hour

  • Pienza

    The first stop of the day is the town of Pienza, around one hour and a half from Florence. Enjoy some free time to explore the first “ideal city” of the Renaissance period that dominates the valley from up above, giving you an incomparable sight of the surrounding hills. Start the tour from the heart of the historic center: Piazza Pio II with its honey-colored buildings, the Duomo of Santa Maria Assunta, and Palazzo Piccolomini. Keep going past the apse of the Duomo and take the pedestrian street: you’ll be stunned by the incredible dreamy sight that will soon open just in front of your eyes.

    1 hour

  • Enoteca Bistrot - Tempio Del Brunello

    Next up is a unique experience inside the monumental complex of the former convent of Sant’Agostino, which now houses the Temple of Brunello: an interactive museum where you can unveil the secrets of Montalcino's famous red wine and its hometown through an immersive path. Start a multi-sensory journey through local history and culture to discover the pillars of the production of one of the most renowned wines of Italy, Brunello di Montalcino. But that’s not all! Top off the visit tasting the famous Tuscan Brunello to finally understand why it's addressed as the King of Sangiovese wines. You will find waiting for you in the cloister of the Temple a sumptuously laid table, so get ready to taste a delicious lunch made of gourmet dishes accurately paired with three glasses of local wine. Let the chef’s creativity inspire you as the explosion of flavors perfectly combines with the richness of the best Tuscan wines.

    1 hour

  • Montalcino

    Then you will head to Montalcino, the Medieval town par excellence dominated by its massive fortress. In just about thirty minutes you will reach the hometown of Brunello and you will have some free time to explore the most authentic borgo of Val d’Orcia. Breathe in the peaceful atmosphere and step back to the past while taking a stroll down its steep alleys.

    2 hours

  • Abbazia di Sant'Antimo

    The final stop of your adventure will be Sant’Antimo Abbey, just a few kilometers away from Montalcino. You will get to a scenic clearing surrounded by wheat fields and ancient olive trees through a panoramic country road among the vineyards. At its right center lies the charming Sant’Antimo Abbey, a Benedictine church founded, according to the legend, by the great Charlemagne in the IX Century. After a quick visit, it’s time to eventually get back to Florence, but only after one last toast. Let’s raise a glass to the unforgettable day you just experienced and say goodbye to the smooth rolling hills of Val d’Orcia all around.

    2 hours

  • SS 222 Chiantigiana

    The bus will take you back to Florence, and you will arrive back in the early evening. Don’t miss out on this magical opportunity to explore the postcard scenery and picturesque, hilltop towns of Val d’Orcia!

Absolutely breathtaking

The wine tour was absolutely fantastic. The views from each stop were breathtaking and we were able to take many photos. The lunch and wine tasting was a great experience and lunch was simply delicious. Thank you to Roberto for being a perfect guide and so very informative. Giovanni our driver was always punctual. I would recommend this tour

Beatiful day

Very nice trip to beautiful Pienza and Montalzino for tasting Brunello and enjoying the fantastic landscape of the Val d'Orca. Nice guiding of Roberto and excellent and effectiv driving of Giovanni who was very kind to stop at some venues for photos. We recomend this trip to anyone who want to enjoy the Tuscan landscape and history.

Interesting and beautiful guided tour of Toscany

Roberto was an excellent guide from beginning to end, and was a well of interesting facts. The destinations was beautiful for first-time visitors, and we will be back for more visits. Very efficient driving by Giovanni, but felt safe at all times.

Unbelievable. A true Authentic Tuscan Experience

Published on Sep, 2024

Love, love, loved this tour. You never know what to expect when booking a tour and this tour exceeded expectations. First, this was one of there more intimate tours, about 10 people total which I love. Not knocking the larger, mega tours but the small group, coupled with the quaint locations on the tour was perfect. Also our tour guide Mary Angela was amazing. She’s so knowledgeable, speaks multiple languages and is able to flow easily from English, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. I’m sure she speaks even more languages than this but Wow! And Monticello and the hamlets we visited give you an authentic Tuscan experience. The lunch was amazing and for me was the best Italian meal I’d had on the trip so far and this is after haven been to Rome for 4 days. I can write an essay about how much I loved this tour. I think I just did!! But don’t take my word for it. You must experience for yourself! Worth every penny.

Best Tour of Tuscany

Published on Sep, 2024
