A good-value holiday if you like to stay in the countryside instead of a hotel or B and B.

janeC7104UJ, Jul 2024

If you want a relaxing but varied holiday in beautiful Tuscany based on a farm with modern facilities and a pool with cooking classes and visits to local towns, this is the right holiday for you. Up to 12 people can stay for either one or two weeks with most meals included. Chauffeur- driven cars with friendly drivers took us to Cortona for dinner at a different restaurant every night and classes in cheesemaking and pasta-making were included. The hostess organised transport and the daily activities into which we had input, especially when there was free time.

VIP Treatment with a Local Tour Company.

Sally A, May 2024

Niccolo and his team at Tours of Tuscany made our large group experience in Tuscany an unparalleled luxurious once in a lifetime trip. When I stumbled upon this company online a year before our trip, I had no idea that it was the best decision I would ever make in planning a week long vacation for our group of 11 friends and family. This local company pulled out all the stops, beginning with a consultation via video chat six months before the trip and recommending ideas based on the interests of our group. They personalized the tours for us and made our vacation truly stress-free. They arranged for two Mercedes minivans to transport us safely through the countryside, with drivers who were friendly, accommodating and generous with providing recommendations and insights into local life and points of interest. Everyone felt safe and well cared for. Each experience was thoughtfully planned and executed perfectly. They took us to places we wouldn't have found on our own and with VIP treatment. The cheese farm lunch and tour was a highlight of our day traveling in the Val d'Orcia, then the adorable towns of Pienza and Montepulciano.

Tasting Vino Nobile and Brunella on the same day was a dream come true.

Daniel_T, Apr 2024

Stefan was a wonderful guide and was very knowledgeable about wine. Both Vinyards we visited were hosted by very friendly owners The tastings at both were excellent in beautiful rooms and cellars. Views of Tuscany going and coming were fantastic. The lunch in Pienza on a beautiful day was outside on a patio with a gorgeous view. 3 course lunch was very good and a super Tuscan bottle for the table. Of course I bought some Pecorino cheese while there. Tasting Vino Nobile and Brunella in the same day was a dream come true.
