We loved the hot springs and the setting along a river in the woods and found a small pool at a perfect temeperature for a long soak. The wine tasting at a small family vineyard was a pleasant way to round out the day and a nice introduction to the wines of Montalcino. Matteo was and excellent guide and driver - we enjoyed his insights into the countyside and hid frindly and professional manner. Highly recommended.

We loved our day trip to the Bagni Di San Filippo. Matteo was accomodating and allowed us to meet closer to our hotel, he drove us to the hot springs and accompanied us all the way to the bottom, he gave great suggestions and even took us to see the neighbouring town of Montalcino. We will keep him in mind next time we are in Tuscany as he was delightful and we would love to do another tour with him. Highly recommend!

An amazing private tour done by our guide Matteo. It was an authentic experience of the Italian countryside apart from the springs. With a stop at one of the finest wineries of the town. In a nutshell it was money well spent!

We spent the day as a group of 4 with our tour guide Matteo and met with him at around 10am. The 2hr drive to Bagni natural springs was comfortable and we stopped for refreshments about half way through. The springs were absolutely amazing and leaving early definitely makes a difference as it was relatively quiet when we got there. Matteo organised access for us to changerooms and showers to refresh after the springs. He then allowed us to choose from a number of recommended dinner locations and we selected montepulciano. On the way we visited a local winery and participated in a private wine tasting and tour organised by Matteo which was amazing and felt very exclusive. We then proceeded to Montepulciano where we were given a walking tour and historical rundown before we were left to roam by ourselves until dinner. We reconvened at 7pm for a fantastic 3 course dinner and another wine tasting. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough- well worth a visit!

Aunque era otra cosa lo que esperaba, en las fotos lucen como piscinas, son charquitos de muy difícil acceso y aguas fangosas no como lucen en las fotos, las fotos enamoran a cualquiera, y las aguas no son termales, estaban frías, y tienen un tubo puesto por donde cae agua más tibia, entonces ahí se reune 3 o 4 personas para meterse debajo del agua que cae por el tubo ( al menos así fue en la parte donde yo estuve), es como una escalera de piscinas de esas con poca profundidad .
