Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Val d'Orcia, Italy

Take a Tuscany tour from Rome and see the best of the captivating Val d’Orcia region, near Siena. Board your luxury coach, and travel from Rome to Tuscany with its scenic, rolling hills.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Montepulciano, Montepulciano, Tuscany

Your first stop is Montepulciano, a town renowned for its fine wine and views. The Renaissance hilltown is best-known for its production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a full-bodied red wine. Learn about it on a walking tour and discover highlights such as the Florence-style clock tower, the cathedral with its yet-to-be-finished façade, medieval wine cellars and the old town walls.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Tempio di San Biagio, Via di San Biagio, 53045, Montepulciano Italy

Immerse yourself in the architecture of St. Biagio's Church. This temple is the result of an exceptional synthesis between the artistic language of the Renaissance and the beauty of the Tuscan landscape, due to its peculiar location in the midst of a breath-taking landscape overlooking the Tuscan hills. The church, an example of a Renaissance Greek cross central plan, was used for the original design by Bramante and Michelangelo for St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Having worked up an appetite, you'll have lunch with your group surrounded by vineyards. You’ll discover why Tuscany is Italy’s most renowned wine region as you enjoy a traditional 3-course lunch, with a local wine pairing including the world-famous Brunello di Montalcino wines.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Historic Centre of the City of Pienza, near Montepulciano, 53026, Pienza Italy

From the farm, travel on to Pienza, one of the region’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Here, enjoy up to 45 minutes of free time to explore. The layout of the town was created by Pope Pius II, who wanted to change the look of his birth town. Admire the historic center, which stays true to the pope’s vision, and gaze at the fine architecture that abounds. If you are a fan of food, check the shops for pecorino cheese, arguably Pienza’s most prized product.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Pienza, Pienza, Tuscany

Explore Pienza and shop for local food and wines, take photographs and eat gelato.

Next, return to Rome in air-conditioned comfort — fulfilled, relaxed, and ready for the next day.

The trip to Tuscany area was fantastic. The towns we visited were charming and full of history. Our lunch and wine tasting were fantastic. The best part of the tour was our tour director Peter who was fantastic had a great wealth of knowledge of the areas we visited along with the wines of the area. He was also very helpful in teaching about the culture of the areas and how to get around Rome.

Our guide, Barbara, was wonderful. She was so knowledgeable about the area. Best part was the lunch and wine tasting. Have already recommended this tour to others. Antonio was an excellent driver. Felt very safe with him behind the wheel. Thank you both for a great day.
