A recommended trip for a holiday - Seimh the tour guide was incredible, very informative and very personable. Montepulciano and Pienza are beautiful with excellent views of the surrounding valleys. The wine tasting at Pulciano farm provided an authentic Italian experience.

Great value for breathtaking views and a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. - I visited Rome with my senior parents in April 2025 but wanted a daytrip to break up the days of our trip. Luckily I came across this tour with City Wonders to the Tuscan countryside, it was one of the highlights of our vacation! We promptly met at Pza del Popolo at 730 where many other tour groups gather near the fountain and after checking in was assigned Laura as our tour leader. She was knowledgeable, well spoken in English, and accommodating for my parents whom have walking difficulties - we ended up splitting from the tour group at Montepulciano due to the hilly walk thru the city, and instead spent extra time at our nearby lunch stop to enjoy the views of Tuscany. Then we moved on to Pienza which was a truly special memory, don’t miss out on peeking down alleys off the mainstreet, we found a breathtaking view of the valley below Pienza. We arrived back at Rome promptly at the estimated 7pm end time. Overall would recommend this day trip for their organization and value, just be prepared for a 30min uphill/downhill walk at the first stop. Thank you City Wonders!

More of a history tour than wine tour - If you're looking specifically for a wine tasting day, I'd suggest booking a different tour! This was more of a history of Tuscany and Rome tour, with some info about wine in Tuscany and then ending with a lunch and wine tasting (you try about 6 wines in total during the 12 hour day). The focus of the day was definitely more history and touring of Montepulciano and Pienza! It was still a great day and our guide Peter was great and very informative. We would have liked more of the day to be focused on the wine tasting and possibly visiting more than one winery, so if that's what you're looking for I'd do something different!

Could be better - The views during the trip were awesome. The people organizing the tour do their best to accommodate you. Special shoutout to Fernanda who was our tour guide at Montepulciano. A couple of things to keep in mind -it is not a max of 25 people, we had over 40 people on our bus. The only time you’re in a group of 25 is during the tour of Montepulciano. -the larger sized groups makes every stop or transition take much longer than necessary.
