Guides vary, with Flavio, Anna, Barbara, Antonino, and Sonia among the praised names.

“I really enjoyed this day tour of Tuscany from Rome. Our guide Antonino was great and knowledgeable. The tour first stopped in Montepulciano which was my favorite. Unfortunately, I felt visiting Montepulciano was rushed, we didn't have much time to explore on our own. We then stopped for lunch, I agree with others, we just got small splashes of wine to try and the food was kind of underwhelming. We stopped in Pienza as well which was beautiful. Unfortunately, the day I was there, everything was closed. There was not much to do. My recommendation is give us more time in Montepulciano and less time in Pienza. Otherwise, I really…”

Be sure to walk the trail to the Cross as there are wonderful views of the mountains. The wine tasting was fun and informative, it was held in a room in the castle, and felt authentic. Our guides Azul and Alfonso were amazing - very informed about the history of Spain, Catalunya, Montserrat, the Basilica and the Black Madonna. She led the wine tasting (with tapas) with expertise and everyone on the tour really enjoyed it. Highly recommend.”
