Description

Good to Know

Our first stop is Pienza, a charming Renaissance village located in the heart of the Val d'Orcia. Famous worldwide for its delicious Pecorino di Pienza, this stop is the perfect opportunity to stroll through picturesque streets and taste one of Tuscany’s most iconic cheeses. After visiting Pienza, the tour continues to Montalcino, a medieval hill town internationally renowned for its prestigious wines, especially Brunello di Montalcino. Here you will have the opportunity to enjoy local wine tastings and traditional Tuscan products, experiencing the authentic flavors of the region. The journey then takes us to Monteriggioni, one of the best-preserved fortified villages in Italy. Surrounded by impressive 13th-century defensive walls, this small medieval town is famous worldwide for inspiring settings in a popular video game where the protagonist battles the legendary Knights Templar. A dedicated museum is included in the tour experience.

Chill, well-paced day trip to Toscana

Lovely trip with a very pleasant pace. Enough time in each city to explore and enjoy on your own. Wine tasting in Montalcino is a very lovely touch, set in the walls of a medieval fortress. Our guide - Lorenzo - was super chill, gave interesting facts about each city and important logistical details without being overbearing, he even provided some nice recommendations for places to visit that are outside of a basic tourist itinerary. Great experience overall!

Incredible day

"It was a wonderful day spent with Marina and Claudio, with a warm welcome and detailed explanations provided throughout the entire tour. Thank you also for the bonus stops. The visit was very dynamic, and thanks to the other participants, everything was perfectly organized and well-paced. The bus was of very good quality and had air conditioning, which really helps when it’s hot.
