A day at the mountain towns of Montepulciano and Pienza - The rolling hills, charming streets, and panoramic views in these two Tuscan towns made it feel like a scene from a post card. I would suggest to change the name of the tour to "From Siena: Pienza and Montepulciano with Wine Tasting Tour" because it's more of touring the 2 towns than wine tasting.

Mountain Towns - These two prominent mountain towns were an incredible experience. The guides did a good job setting it up and getting us there. Just the right amount of free time. The large production winery was unimpressive. I prefer small family production wineries.

Recommded tour! - The wine tour was great, very professional and with the traditional wooden barrels, the knowledge extensive and tastings generous. The towns we visited gorgeous. Luciano and Alexio were great guide and driver, very knowledgeable and friendly. Would do another tour with them any day.

A winery and two towns! - Best: The beautiful Tuscany countryside-took lots of memory making photos. Learning more about the art and craft of winemaking at a beautiful Winery. Didn’t realize that “time on your own” in Montepulciano and Pienza meant just that-no guidance as to how to make the most of our time. The tour was touted as 9:45 AM-9:15PM. But we were back to Siena by 5:30 PM. Apparently the tour started with one couple being picked up in Florence, then the 5 of us in Siena at 9:30 AM. Still doesn’t account for the almost 4 hours earlier than expected that the tour ended. Maybe just typos?

Not great - Signed up for a minibus tour six months ago. Ended up on a full tour bus. Stopped at one winery.the entire day. “Snacks” were a packet of saltine crackers. I guess I misread the description? Enjoyed the other people on the bus and the towns were beautiful. Expected more from Viator.

Great way to experience the Tuscan countryside without renting a car - Great way to see the Tuscan countryside without renting a car. Tour guide was not good and spent most of the time talking with the bus driver instead of being available to answer questions about surroundings. The bus driver was honking and yelling at another driver from a car before we even left the parking lot ( the bus was 1/2 hour late to arrive also)! The the driver was talking on the phone or to the tour guide the entire trip. Also the bus died on the expressway but the driver was able to get it going again quickly. The time allowed to visit pienza and montepulciano was good and we got a lot of great view of the countryside. The winery stop was okay but the wine-4 samples -was wonderful.

Disappointing - The duration in Pienza was shortened by around 1 hour compared to the program, which is a form of scam. The wine tasting was disappointing because a Tuscan red wine should be served at 18/19 degrees and was served at 22/23 degrees, hence the impression of a soup tasting

Disappointing - Terrible the guild could speak very simple English and could not understand her at all. The group was way to big so we could not hear anything the wine operators was talking about. Not worth the money at all.
