Private: Tuscany from Rome, Wine, Pienza & Val d’Orcia Views

About This Experience

This is a private car day from Rome to Montepulciano and Pienza with a driver and a wine tasting, run by Eternal City private and guided Tours. It lasts about 10 hours, and you are collected from your hotel in a Mercedes sedan or minivan. It starts from $432 per person when two travel and holds 4.8 from 39 GetYourGuide reviews.

The drive to Montepulciano takes about 2 hours. You spend around 2.5 hours there, with a visit to part of the town's underground city, a wine tasting with local snacks and time to shop and walk. The driver then takes you through the Val d'Orcia with photo stops on the way to Pienza, where you have about 2.5 hours for lunch and a look around. The drive back to Rome takes about 2 hours.

The wine tasting is included, but lunch is not. Your driver can suggest restaurants, and Pienza is known for pecorino you can buy in its food shops. Entrance fees to any monuments or museums and tips are extra. Because the car is yours for the day, you can ask to change the order or add stops, and infant seats are available on request.

This day suits couples or small families who want Tuscany at their own pace and dislike big coaches. Check what you are booking: the listing calls the role a driver-guide, and several unhappy reviewers got a driver who spoke little English and skipped the vineyard they expected. Confirm the language and the winery stop with the operator before the day.
