First of all, the directions that we were given let us to drive into the city all the way to the top. Where we were not allowed to go, and could not park. Fortunately, I noticed that you needed a residential pass to park and headed back down the hill to the public parking. This causes to be late for the tour. I would highly recommend a note be put on the directions that you should park before you get to the town at the bottom of the hill and then walk to the meeting place. The tour itself was just average. The lady guide was very quiet in her voice, and barely spoke English. The tour was not what we expected. It was really a wine tour with orders at one of the stops we use Vivitar food tours all over the world and found this particular tour to be our least favorite I would not recommend it anybody looking for a full tour of the city.

Great tour of Montepulciano with good explanation of local wine and food. A nice way to see the old city and sample some very tasty food and wine.

If we hadn’t already participated in a different Food Tour, we may have been more pleased with this one. Our guide was a lovely woman, who had a very good knowledge of the city, but her English(while MUCH better than our Italian) frequently had us searching for the right words for the tour. The first winery we went to, only gave us a sip of the wines, as compared to the half or full glass we received everywhere else. The tasting for the Riserve and Nobile wines at another winery, were quite nice. We finished with a lunch at a restaurant with a wonderful view of the countryside. We were a little surprised that our guide left us at the door of this restaurant, unlike other tours that stayed with us for the entirety of the tour. We felt that this tour was too expensive for what it delivered.

The guide was knowledgeable and congenial, and we enjoyed our tour. The focus was definitely on the wine, and less on the culture and architecture of the the city.

We enjoyed our time with our guide Laura. As we walked she gave us a short history of the town and pointed out architectural details. We went to two winery shops, wine cellar and ended our tour at a restaurant for lunch. We preferred our second wine tasting because the host wasn’t as rushed plus they served cheese and meats to taste. However, Laura was the highlight of the tour. We learned many facts about Montepulciano and the region from her. The reason we gave four stars was the price seemed a little high. All in all a pleasant few hours.

Enjoyed the food and wine experience. Had a good time but would have liked to have a little more information on the history of the city.

Pascale C

We were lucky. to have a wonderful guide during this visit. She told us the history of the city with lots of anecdotes and enthusiasm. We were able to taste the wine in 2 different places. We really enjoyed this beautiful walk.

Il tour unisce una visita guidata del bellissimo paese, degustazioni di 3/4 tipi di vino in tre cantine diverse, un tagliere di salumi e formaggi e un pranzo con pici in un ottimo ristorante. Lo consiglio caldamente, la guida è molto esperta, il cibo e il vino eccezionali.

Bella esperienza, si parte dalla piazza principale per poi fare una piacevole passeggiata tra le bellezze della città accompagnati da una guida molto simpatica e preparata, poi il pezzo forte, degustazioni degli ottimi vini locali in due cantine dal personale molto gentile e competente. Esperienza che consiglio.
