Itinerary
Arrive at the base of Civita di Bagnoregio, an ancient village perched on a crumbling volcanic plateau. Cross the dramatic pedestrian bridge that connects this isolated town to the modern world, with sweeping valley views on both sides.
Next, head into the Montepulciano countryside to visit a family-run winery. To start, sample typical local products such as pecorino, prosciutto, salame, capocollo, and bruschetta with olive oil. If time allows, you may also have the chance to explore the small cellar museum. After the tasting, sit down for a warm, rustic meal featuring handmade pici pasta with traditional aglione sauce. Pair lunch with three wines, then finish with cantucci and Vin Santo.
Continue to Pienza for 1 hour of free time in this Renaissance hill town. Walk the honey-colored streets, browse local food shops, and take in broad Val d’Orcia landscape views.

Was amazing, our guide is fantastic, very knowledgeable, very kind and helpful! The best one!
Excellent guide. Paola. She went above and beyond in helping us w an issue completely unrelated to the tour (our lodging) and was concerned enough to follow up to ensure the issue was resolved. We enjoyed the trip to Civita. It was a beautiful old city. Pienza was also a beautiful town with lovely shops and scenery. We were able to take a picture from scene of Gladiator movie. The farm was big with wine and food for sale. We were fortunate to sit w a manager of the tour service. He and his partner were nice to provide more insights to Italian cuisine and wine. As to the wine tasting, it really wasn’t as expected. While they served food w 4 types of wine, I expected more of an explanation of how the wine was to taste along w what food we were served. Food amount was satisfying. Cheese, meats and pasta. Pasta was fresh and they offered a good amount. I just wish more information, except for the year of the wine, was provided.
Marilena and JP were amazing! They are both really knowledgeable, I made the experience very enjoyable
It was a magical place to visit. Mary our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The bus ride was smooth and comfortable. I would book again.
The guide spoke English well enough to where I could understand; she was informative, proud of her Italian culture and country, was funny and honest, and caring, always counting and making sure no one was left behind after a stop over. The best tour guide we had on our 15 day trip to Budapest, Vienna, Venice, Ortisei, and Rome and the most fun tour! Would recommend this tour to friends and family. Loved the old cities and learning about them and being there…
Great all-around experience! The views were breathtaking. The value was fantastic. The meal was delicious. Marie and Giuseppe were amazing.
Amazing experience so worth the money! Juliano and Nikola were great and so friendly. The places they take you to are absolutely stunning. One of the best days of my entire life!!
Great tour with breathtaking views!
This was a fantastic day trip! It was well organized and made great use of time. Our guide, Marilyn and the driver Marc, were fantastic. We saw so much of the beautiful countryside. Our lunch was good and fun at the family owned farm and trattoria! Our stops in each town were amazing. One of my favorite tours yet! If you only have a day and want to experience a little taste of Tuscany and Umbria, this is the tour to take!
Trip was so worth it! Was itching to get out of Rome and experience Tuscan countryside and this was perfect! Got to see beautiful Pienza and the serene ghost town that may one day soon disappear unfortunately. Lots of gorgeous views, plenty of time to take pictures and visit in shops. The “hike” was a bit steep but my husband and I are not cardio people and we survived and loved it and would do it again. So if you don’t have mobility issues but don’t like hike - there’s enough time to take it at your pace it’s not that bad - go for it!! The food and wine was delicious!! Bus was long but beautiful views and most of us napped during the beginning and end. Maybe bring headphones or book if you are easily bored. Mario was our tour guide and Mustafa was our bus driver. Mario was fantastic with time management (the pacing of trip) and offered to take our pictures! Mustafa was great - we left our bags in bus and he took care of them and navigated traffic really well.
We had a very memorable day with Mario on our trip to Tuscany. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Our driver Mustafa was also very professional and made sure we got where we needed to go on time. The lunch and wine tasting experience was amazing. Highly recommend and would definitely use them again.
We had such a wonderful experience on this tour! Mario was a fantastic guide, super informative and engaging. He made everything interesting and easy to follow, and we learned so much along the way. The food was delicious, and we saw some truly amazing landscapes. Between the beautiful scenery, great food, and Mario’s guidance, it was a memorable day. Highly recommend!
Tuscany is at its best when the day feels effortless, and this tour delivered exactly that. From start to finish, everything went smoothly without the slightest stress over transfers, directions, or reservations. A special shoutout goes to our fantastic guide, Mario! He set the tone right from check-in in central Rome. Throughout the journey, he was warm, knowledgeable, organized, and shared great context while keeping the vibe completely relaxed. The itinerary is brilliant: Civita di Bagnoregio: Walking across the iconic pedestrian bridge into the "dying town" perched on the cliff was breathtaking. Having free time to wander the quiet stone alleys and take in the panoramic views of the canyons made it truly special. Winery Lunch near Montepulciano: An absolute highlight. The rustic lunch at the family-run winery was incredible—fresh pecorino, prosciutto, salami, and bruschetta, followed by delicious handmade pici pasta with traditional aglione sauce. The three paired wines were fantastic, and finishing with Cantucci and Vin Santo was the perfect sweet touch. Pienza: A postcard-perfect Renaissance hill town. The honey-colored streets and sweeping vistas over the Val d'Orcia are stunning, and the hour of free time was just right to browse local food shops and soak up the slower pace. We returned to Rome in the early evening with camera rolls packed with gorgeous views and great memories of delicious food and wine. If you want a seamless, scenic, and authentic taste of the Italian countryside, ask for Mario and book this tour!
Overall this was a great experience. Mario, our guide, was excellent. We saw amazing places throughout the day! Mustafa, our driver, was great at getting us out of traffic. The stops were just long enough. The only thing that can be improved is the comfort of the transport.
amazing tour, everything bery well organised and amazing guide ❤️ super happy to have booked it!!! highly recommend if you wanna do a day trip to tuscany!
This was one of the best day tours I’ve ever been on! All three stops were so special and cool, and the winery was such a highlight! Our guide, Marilyn, and our driver, Marc Anthony, were so fun and good to get to know! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone interested.
Definitely sign up for this! What I didn't know was the Pienza stop is right by a couple Gladiator movie scenes. Far walk though for the wheat field scene.
Mario was great, informative and entertaining. Could skip the last stop, the 15 minute stop at the Truffle store. Multiple buses there at the same time, store crowded and hectic with people and products and store employees. Not a relaxing end to a calm day.
Mario was our tour guide, we enjoyed so much, he gave us a lot information about Italy and tons info regarding wine and we loved it would recommend it to anyone,
Beautiful, enjoyable tour of Italy towns and countryside. Wonderful lunch and wine tasting.
Amazing trip Thanks to Mario our guide and favio who drive us safe❤️❤️😍
Fantastic day with Mario he was great. Beautiful tour, absolute stunning sites!’
Wow! What an incredible day. Guileano was an awesome guide, and so knowledgeable on the places we visited. The bus was very comfortable, the group size was small enough to really enjoy each part of the experience, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The lunch we had was absolutely delicious and they were so generous to accommodate my partner who is gluten and dairy free. We would highly recommend this tour if you are in Rome for a few days but would love to get a taste of Tuscany. We’re so glad we took the time for this experience.
Amazing! So worth a full day trip from Rome.
Mario is a great guide, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Nicola the driver was a great driver and made the trip easy.
Mario did a great job. He was very nice and helpful to make sure we had a great experience.
A wonderful tour to interesting exciting places. Driver Fabio was safe and reliable. Tour guide Romeo was very pleasant and informative. Interesting, helpful he made an excellent day even better.
Mario was our tour guide and he was excellent! Very informative and made sure to point out the points of interest and history along the way. Civita was by far our favorite place. It’s absolutely gorgeous and worth the hike along the bridge. The lunch was very good and we had a fun time chatting with the people in our group. In Pienza, Mario recommended we try pecorino gelato and I’m so glad we tried it. It was my favorite thing we ate and I wish I had gotten more of it!
Our guide for the Mario was fabulous. Also our coach driver Fabio made the day comfortable and enjoyable. Had a great day in Tuscany.
The bus that was reserved for the number of people in our group was too small. The seating in the very back was very cramped and uncomfortable. We were sitting shoulder to shoulder and up against the walls of the bus. We were unable to use out seatbelts and were unable to see the scenery out guide was pointing out. Sent in a complaint to the tour company with poor response and no solutions.
The first part of the tour was great! Civeta was well worth the trip, had ample time to walk around. The wine part of the tour was a disappointment. Tried a few wines but had rarely any refills and you got just a tiny bit to taste each time. Compared to other wine tours I've been on, id rate this a 0. Too many people in the dining room at once, host had trouble trying to get everyone settled so she could talk to explain the wines. We didn't see any of the vines or get explanations of any of the grapes or types of wine.
Giuliano was fantastic, informative, and so kind! He shared so much great information with us along the way, made directions clear, and gave great recommendations at each spot along the tour. 10 out of 10 would recommend this tour and Giuliano as a guide to anyone! It was a full day of so many great views and we hit each location at what seemed like perfect timing for there to be smaller crowds. The atmosphere was relaxed and we were able to make the tour our own during the free time at each location.
Our tour guide Marko was great. The two villages were beautiful and lunch was nice.
The tour was amazing and our guide Maria Elena the best! She gave us so much information and was so fun, loved her!
Mary and Marc Anthony Where the best best best! I can’t even put in words… def book and idk if they have other people who do the tours but I would ask for Mary only
Marilena was amazing, the food, the views, the history, and culture, she was so knowledgeable funny and kind!
The walk to Civita was strenuous. The guide warned the group in advance, and that was very much appreciated. Paula, our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and was very informative. The stop at Montepulciano was very nice as well as the lunch and wine tasting. Pienze was also nice, but not as much to do. Overall, a very enjoyable day and experience.
Wonderful experience that I highly recommend! The sightseeing exceeded my expectations. I loved Civita! The Tuscan winery lunch was delicious and beautiful! Paula our guide was excellent
I thought that the trip was an amazing one. The stop at the city at the top of a hill was remarkable and it was not as scary to walk over the footbridge as I thought it might be. Views were exceptional. Our guide Mario Hudid a great job. Would highly recommend!
amazing experience, the places were amazing, the guide Mari was really charming and knew about everything in Rome. highly recommended.
Maria Elena was great with us . Good explanations!!!
This was a very worthwhile tour. Our guide was very engaging and worked hard to make sure we were able to see all the locations even when we were running low on time. The sights were amazing and I enjoyed the food and wine.
Our guide was AMAZING!!! She treated us like family . She was very knowledgeable about all the places we went to I will book with her again!!!
Paola was very informative and made the trip very enjoyable and entertaining. She was friendly with everyone and would highly recommend any tour she is leading.
