val d'orcia - 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

Nice tour with good wine and beautiful views. - 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.

Fantastic Day Trip! - 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).

Amazing tour in Tuscany area. - It was one of the greatest experiences in my life. The tour was guided by Alberto (speaks Italian, Spanish and English) and Luciano (speaks Italian, English and Portuguese). We had great explanations about every place and amazing views of each one.

Beautiful Place, misleading description - 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 viator 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.

Very untrustworthy. Don’t use. - 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.

Save your money - 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!
