We had a wonderful day! Our driver and guide for our private tour was excellent…so kind and made our trip extra special! The country side was beautiful and he took us to a winery for wine tasting!

Massimo was an excellent driver and host for this activity. He was able to share historical and cultural information as we were en route and made the calls needed to add in a local winery visit. Please note this is NOT a guided tour of Cortona and Montepulciano. The driver takes you to the locations, and you are on your own to visit as you see fit. For me, this was perfect, as I like to wander on my own. I appreciated the door-to-door service and the confirmation communication the day before.

I don’t usually do private tours. Massimo was so pleasant to talk to, informative and flexible. We made an unplanned stop for wine tasting. I really enjoyed this tour. It was a beautiful day and peaceful break from the busy city.

Nothing short of AMAZING!!! Weather was cold and windy on the hilltop towns, but it was still gorgeous. Wine and food was amazing and we even visited a local winery. Our driver, Massimo, was awesome and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend this private tour. Will not disappoint.
