Highlights
- Monticchiello - Your Tuscany day trip starts early so you can make the most of your time. Board an air-conditioned minibus in central Rome that will whisk you away from the busy city straight into the heart of Tuscany. Your first stop is at Monticchiello, a stunning little hillside town that makes for a once-in-a-lifetime photo op.
- Pienza - It’s a short drive to your next stop: Pienza. Your expert tour guide will lead you on an introductory stroll of the town, which is famous for its Pecorino cheese (and yes, you’ll get to try some for yourself!).
- Montepulciano - Sit back and relax on a scenic drive to Montepulciano, home to your next stop: a stunning family-run winery complete with lush vineyards and a historic cellar you have to see to believe. Enjoy a guided visit of both and sit down to a homemade lunch with wine pairings for an only-in-Tuscany experience you won’t soon forget. After lunch, you’ll have some free time to explore the charming streets of Montepulciano at your own pace.
-
Tempio di San Biagio - Before returning to Rome, you’ll make one additional stop at the historic San Biagio church just outside Montepulciano. Marvel at the breathtaking Italian Renaissance architecture as your guide points out all the fascinating details that are easy to miss without an expert eye.

Must do if in Italy - Enriqa was awesome! Highly recommend this tour so amazingly beautiful. The cheese shop owner is a comedian himself and the cheese oils and salami were amazing. Walking around the town was just breathtaking. The Ricco winery and cellar were awesome as well and you learn so much about wine and its history. The bus had amazing A/C which was soooo appreciated in the heat of summer and our driver was safe and the ride smooth!

Great experience! - A unique experience that I recommend to everyone! a few days ago with my partner we took a tour of Tuscany with Walks. We had a tasting of local wines and food and then visited the wine cellars (beautiful) and wonderful medieval towns. A unique place, it seemed to be in a wonderful picture. On this tour we were accompanied by Enrica of walks, very kind and very nice who kept us company with laughter and explanations, throughout the day. Great organization of the tour . It was a relaxing and wonderful day, thank you!

Amazing one of a kind experience! - If I could give this experience 10+ stars, I would. First, our driver & guide were absolutely amazing! Friendly, personable, & Roberta was very knowledgeable providing us with lots of details about the history of the areas we toured.
We got to see the country side with small medieval 🏥 villages dotting the mountains, the vineyards, & farms. We had time to roam 2 of these villages; Pienza, where we had cheese, olive oil and salami tasting, then Monticchiello where we had a wine tasting at De’Ricci winery and a delicious lunch.
Finally, we toured their wine cellar in a cave in the town that goes back to the time before Christ!!! It was a very special experience 💕❤️🤩. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing - This was the best part of my trip! Watching the countryside, escaping the extreme heat in Rome and going to the small towns which were cooler and breezier, the tour guide, the wine tasting, visiting the old wine cellars, cheese and meat tasting- it's everything you think about when you think Italy. The tour was easy to find as the meeting spot was in front of a McDonald's - also conducive to getting breakfast before the trip. Those McDonald's coffees in Italy are amazing by the way!

We loved it! - This tour was well worth the long day! Our guide Guilio and driver Emilio were great! The cheese tasting in Pienza was a highlight as well as the tour, tasting, lunch and history of the De’Ricci vineyards. I loved that it was a small group as well got to chat with everyone and enjoyed meeting the rest of the group and our guide. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see some of Tuscany from Rome.
