And the Tuscan countryside was beautiful. The transportation was comfortable and safe. The guide and driver were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely loved it, worth the time & money spent! Mariana was amazing, loved learning about the history of Spain and the history of Montserrat. The bus ride was comfortable and short enough, and the cogwheel train was the same. We were lucky enough to have a lovely, mostly clear day in Montserrat, which made the perfect set up for our wine tasting + tapas session later. This seems like a long tour, but the time you spend at Montserrat actually goes by so fast, because there are so many things to do. So your free time is actually fairly limited here, really would’ve maybe loved another hour or so to…”

“I really enjoyed this day tour of Tuscany from Rome. Our guide Antonino was great and knowledgeable. The tour first stopped in Montepulciano which was my favorite. Unfortunately, I felt visiting Montepulciano was rushed, we didn't have much time to explore on our own. We then stopped for lunch, I agree with others, we just got small splashes of wine to try and the food was kind of underwhelming. We stopped in Pienza as well which was beautiful. Unfortunately, the day I was there, everything was closed. There was not much to do. My recommendation is give us more time in Montepulciano and less time in Pienza. Otherwise, I really…”
