We had a rough day with the transportation on the bus, one bus breaking down and it had to be replaced and the replacement had problems with the door flapping open on the motorway, but we tried to laugh it all off. Other than that we didn’t 1 hour and a half at Montepulciano and 1 hr in pienza. I thought that it would have been nicer to spend more time at Montepulciano personally as more distance to walk. Be aware that the wine tour is a place in Montepulciano that is a free tour for anyone to go on so effectively the cost of this trip is for transport really and that’s it. If I could do this again I’d catch train and or find a bus to take me to Montepulciano!

It was wonderful to see the countryside of Tuscany, just magnificent! The wine tasting was a bit underwhelming, but we had great conversation with the other guests. Great way to experience Pienza and see other parts of Tuscany. Nice getaway from Florence.

This was one of the best days I spent during my 2 week trip to Italy. The transportation was very nice, roomy, and comfortable. The guide was knowledgeable and very helpful. Seeing the Tuscan countryside was unbelievably gorgeous. There were limitless photo ops and they even stopped for a couple. The town og Montepulciano was special to us because of the Twilight series, but Pienza was probably my favorite town I visited. I highly recommend this day trip.
