Tour Description

Spend a day in two jewels of the Tuscan countryside with this Pienza and Montalcino full-day tour. Commencing your journey from Rome, you will soon see the landscape change to the famous rolling hills of Tuscany before taking a closer look at the region’s finest wines, food, and scenery.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, Pienza truly has to be seen to be believed. You will tour the town that brims with Renaissance influences before settling down to indulge in a wonderful Tuscan lunch comprising the area’s favored foods and finest wines.

Sitting not far from Pienza, Montalcino also rests in the Val d’Orcia. Rich in history, the small hill town’s history likely stretches back to the time of the Etruscans. Yet, it is Montalcino’s Medieval history that prevails in its architecture today, with its fortress dominating the skyline. Combining this blend of contemporary culinary delights and stories of civilizations gone by, your Tuscan excursion will no doubt enrich your sense of what makes the region so beloved.

* There is also the possibility to customize this tour and visit Montepulciano in place of Montalcino.
