Our driver was amazing! He organized a few great stops and arranged some great winery visits! He also had great suggestions for lunch.

It was nice getting out of Rome for the day. The driver was good, the car was comfortable for the amount of time we drove. The driver was friendly and made a point to communicate with us where to meet him and what time before dropping us off at the different wineries and breakfast spot. We loved this trip. The winery tours and wines were fantastic. Would recommend. But...be ready to walk fairly steep hills and do steps in Montepulciano!

Our group of 8 had a great time on our trip to Montepulcciano and Montalcino with Roberto. We had a rainy day, but it was still fun. Two winery visits and beautiful scenery.
