I recently booked a private tour with Alessandro to visit the Tuscan countryside towns of Pienza and Montepulciano. We enjoyed a wonderful day of seeing the beautiful Tuscan countryside by car. Our first stop was Pienza and we enjoyed the scenic views from the hilltop town as well as the charm of the small historic town. We sampled some wonderful cheeses and learned the historical highlights of the town. Our next stop was Montepulciano where we had a wonderful lunch at L'Altro Cantuccio Ristorante. We did the chef's tasting and wine pairing which was phenomenal. We also toured a wine cave that was super impressive and enjoyed a wine tasting of Vino Nobile. After a full day of touring we were returned to our hotel in Rome. Alessandro was a great guide that was fun and engaging. It also helped that with our limited Italian that he was comfortable with speaking to us in English. The historical highlights he provided were entertaining and kept us engaged. Should we be back in the area we would definitely reach out to him again as well as recommend him to our friends.

Alessandro picked us up at 8 am, who I have to say, is the best driver you will ever have. So polite, kind, and friendly, he made our trip truly a 5-star, perfect experience. We made our trek from Rome to Our first stop, Pienza, in a beautiful Mercedes Van, where Alessandro taught us about all of the towns we passed along the way to Pienza, along with simply pointing out some of the most beautiful countryside we have ever seen. Upon arrival we were greeted by s local cheese shop Alessandro recommended, where we were able to sample the best cheese my wife and I had ever had. We then were given a brief but informative tour, leaving some time for us to explore the town, and do some shopping (we bought some really cool stuff). Alessandro, showed us the best spots for pictures, and gave us some history of the town. We then headed to Montepulciano, where we were taken directly to a local winery where we not only got to do a wine tasting but also had the most incredible home-made pasta we have ever had. Please try the pici with the chianina, and the wild boar ragu. Wow….wow…wow… We then were given time to explore the town, which is much bigger than Pienza, which means, lots more shopping! So much wine, cheese, meats, wool, local artisan crafts, antique shops, etc..This town was thriving and lively, embedded with history and warm to thr touch. At wife and I explored the stretches of the town, and made our way back to our van, and headed home. The best part of our trip was our guide/driver. Alessandro, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for such a breathtaking experience, driving through the finest areas of Tuscany. You are to be commended! My wife and I are from New York and I’ve never done anything like this before. Please book this trip and make this experience part of your lifelong memories. Thanks again, Alessandro.

We were picked up from our hotel in Rome and warmly greeted by our driver Alessandro. We rode to the Tuscany region, stopping in Pienza to see all the beautiful sights and views of Val D’Orcia. Then another short drive to Montepulciano where we had a quick tour of the wine caves and then sampled some wine and cheese. We were also escorted to the top of the hill so we could have time to walk down by ourselves to shop and explore the town. We even had time to stop and enjoy some beer and wine. This was a perfectly private, relaxed, and enjoyable way to see this region. We would highly recommend this tour!

This company is second to none, we had an amazing time. Alessandro our guide was knowledgable (very) and so accommodating. He worked with me on the itinerary making sure we saw what we came to see. He arranged it all! We were very pleased and one of my favorite parts about my trip. We also experienced one of his other drivers, Luca who transported us to our cruise port and he was fantastic as well!! Great team, highly recommend.
