      this turned out to be with a small group via van. Daniel, our driver guide dropped us off very close to the center of the town which made the quality of the experience the best

      Very untrustworthy Not professional We paid for a wine tour with food and to visit two towns. We headed to one winery, then after words between the driver Ricardo and Leyla the driver turned around in someone’s yard and headed to another winery. No explanation to the 20 guests on the bus. We visited one winery went to Montepulciano around 12:30 where all other tour guests were told to have lunch while in the town as they didn’t pay for the included lunch. My husband and I who had paid €60 euro to have lunch were told to wait until the next town which we were told would be around 3:30pm to have lunch. We expressed our unhappiness with this and after a bit of mess around were advised in an email that My Italy Tours (the tour operator) would refund the money back to our card. We proceeded with the tour and went to the next town. When we were picked up from this town we were told we were now heading home. I asked about the second winery and Leyla told the group that this is what she was told to do and we would have to speak to the tour operator. Other guests were also unhappy we were not visiting the se on winery. I emailed them on the way home and have never had a response to this. They did however pull down this tour from their website while I was following up the next day with a phone call. No resolution to date. Also after 15 days I still do not have my refund for the 60 euro lunch. I will continue to chase them. Don’t trust My Italy Tours.

      The Trip description is misleading. Firstly, we were not informed that many passengers would be picked up on the way from Pisa, and then they would be dropped first before leaving the Florence passengers. The pick up point of this tour at Florence is very far. Also, the pictures in are misleading. While it was said that the tour would be through winery at Montalcino, and with picture of Mario at his wineyard, we were instead taken to wine storage cellar at Montalpulciano. The tour guide herself stated that these pictures are old and not what they do.

      It was the worst tour I've ever been on. It gives you the impression that it'll be a relaxing day of tastings but we spent more time in the car with a guide who has limited English skills. The van we rode in wasn't comfortable, the driver missed an exit because he and the guide we're chatting (or he was on the phone) and the guide didn't have any recommendations on where to go for tastings on our own. The description also didn't mention that there's a lot of walking uphill so I didn't wear the right shoes for it. If I knew this was how it was going to be, I would have gone with another tour. You're basically only paying for one tasting and a ride to different small towns. For that price, I could've arranged my own transportation because there was no benefit having a guide. He was also the last person we had to wait for on one stop. What a joke!

      We were in a small group so we were in a van instead of a big bus which allowed the guide Daniel to stop at places we couldn't have on a bus. We stopped at an overlook of Siena, went to a wine tasting/tour at Montalcino, stopped at a beautiful overlook of Val d'orcia, spent free time in Pienza, and then some more free time in Montepulciano. The wine tasting was great. The town of Pienza is just about the cutest town I've ever seen, and the views from Montepulciano were breathtaking. Well worth taking the tour.

      This was an amazing tour! We were able to see multiple unique towns in the Val d'Orcia and try delicious wine and food. Our guide provided great information and stories throughout our day. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in exploring Tuscany without the need to rent a car (or wander around somewhat lost).

      Tour svolto il 6 ottobre 21. 7 partecipanti+ 1autista ( luca) su un pulmino da 9 posti. Nessuna richiesta di green pass ne al momento della prenotazione ne prima della partenza! ( certo sul sito c’è scritto che si deve essere in possesso ma tutto qui. Un po come dire “fai il bravo” ed essere assolutamente sicuri che sarà cosi!) Per tutto il viaggio di andata ( più di un ora) , l’autista/guida, parla senza mascherina spiegando ecosistema e storia del luogo. SENZA MASCHERINA! In più non essendo stati invitati all uso della protezione, anche vari partecipanti parlavano senza la stessa! Approfitto della prima sosta per chiedere all’autista se le disposizioni ministeriali non sono applicabili per questo tour. Mi risponde che non serve perché hanno tutti il green pass. ovviamente la mia contro risposta è stata subito pronta: peccato che nessuno lo abbia ne chiesto ne visionato quindi potrebbe esserci gente senza! Mi liquida immediatamente ma da quel momento inizia il valzer della mascherina. Mi spiego meglio. All esterno come è abbastanza normale stava senza mascherina ma non manteneva le distanze di sicurezza. All’interno del pulmino indossava la mascherina( come tutti visto che mi hanno sentito mentre lo facevo notare al conducente!) ma, durante le spiegazioni o più in generale le conversazioni, la ballerina mascherina si abbassava sempre! Questo atteggiamento dopo poco meno di 2 anni di pandemia lo trovo inaudito e inconcepibile. Sono molto delusa e senza dubbio non consiglierò a nessuno di partecipare alle vostre uscite! Per quanto riguarda il tour di per se non lo consiglio perché oltre alla degustazione che si può fare anche privatamente, il resto del tempo si è stati liberi di girare a vuoto per le due mete. Certo il meteo non ha agevolato ma nemmeno la promessa di portarci a vedere scorci di natura e scenari dove “fare belle foto” ( parole dell autista!) non è stata mantenuta!

      Esperienza incredibile. Partiti in perfetto orario una guida incredibile Luca che ci ha allietato con aneddoti sul territorio e sul vino. Il gruppo era piccolino e ciò ha permesso una degustazione ottima, verticale che ha mostrato le eccellenze della cantina visitata. Segue poi Pienza e Montepulciano. Due siti molto bello e caratteristici che offrono un panorama sulla valle spettacolare. Lo consiglio per gli amanti de vino e della Toscana.

      Tour che raccoglie informazioni molto interessanti anche per chi di vino, salumi e formaggi non se ne intende. Confortevole grazie alla puntualità del pullman e alla disponibilità e gentilizza della guida Alberto, sempre disposto a rispondere a tutte le domande dei curiosi. Le visite sono scelte molto accuratamente, i posti da visitare sono pieni di storia e le degustazioni sono perfette e ricche di sapori tradizionali diffilici da trovare senza i consigli della guida. Molto originali le fermate presso l'azienda agricola Abbadia Ardenga con il simpaticissimo Mario che ci ha guidato insieme ad Alberto alle degustazioni di vino di Montalcino e presso la villa utilizzata per le riprese del film "Il Gladiatore". Il tour è infine perfetto sia per un turista italiano che per un turista straniero, poiché capace di far vedere la bellezza della Val d'Orcia con vedute mozzafiato.
