See the very best of Tuscany on a full-day trip from Rome! Traveling to the stunning Val d'Orcia region, south of Siena, you'll be introduced to a beautiful landscape where medieval towns cling to sunny hills and rustic farms adorn the countryside. With an expert guide, you'll visit Montelpulciano, Montalcino and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pienza, sampling fine wines and local delicacies as you go!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Val d'Orcia
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.
2. Montepulciano
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.
3. Tempio di San Biagio
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.
4. Historic Centre of the City of Pienza
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.
5. Pienza
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.

This is very misleading when booking. We as well as many others on trip expected we were wine tasting at various areas throughout the Tuscany region, it was far from that. It was beautiful, the stops were nice, but not what we had expected. The only wine was during the lunch for a local winery. No tastings at all throughout unless you found tastings at towns you stopped at while wondering around. Long ride from Rome which was expected, however AC on bus not working so extremely warm on bus causing many to get nausea during trip.

Visit to the hill towns of Montepulciano and Pienza; with their classic architecture and great views. The lunch and wines tasting at Pulcino vineyards was also fun.

The first and last stops of the trip was at a depressing "factory store" in an industrial complex. This portion of the trip brought down the overall rating. The visit felt forced, although the restroom stop was appreciated.

Very fun excursion! Tour director was fun and bus driver was courteous and very safe driver. The town of Montepulciano is incredible, a must see if you’ve never been to Tuscany, as it’s a prime example of true Italian living.
The ONLY down side is most of your time is spent in the bus traveling from Roma to Tuscany.
Still, a great way to spend 12 hours!!
