Val d’Orcia and Gladiator’s Field

Leon and Fanel were great during my tour of Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino!

Enchanted with Tuscany

Our guide was Lyon was very good as was our driver. We didn't have a wine tasting in Pienza, but we had wine and cheese in Montepulciano and Brunello wine in Montalcino. Beautiful landscapes and suitable weather at each stop.

An immersion in Val d'Orcia

Great experience! A day immersed in Tuscany well spent! Leon guide in Portuguese very available and the driver Fannel very careful on the road. Excellent experience at Padelleti winery! A unique and special moment with the true Brunello di Montalcino to end the day with a flourish.

Great tour to montepulciano and pienza!

Loved this tour. Fanel was an excellent driver. Leon was an excellent guide. Loved montepulciano and Pienza. Ate at terrazza val d’orcia in pienza. Amazing views. Cheese and wine at taluso wine cave in montepulciano was outstanding. Brunello wine tasting was a little disappointing. Owner was nice but spoke too softly and too long.
