Description:

With this private tour from Rome, you will discover the timeless beauty of Tuscany, with its rolling hills, historic villages, enchanting estates, and renowned wineries.

Your day trip will start in the morning when your private driver will pick you up directly at your hotel in Rome. You will leave the city and its chaotic pace behind, heading towards the breathtaking Tuscan countryside. You will immerse yourself in a landscape of vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads. 

Your first stop will be Montepulciano, a charming medieval hilltop town known for its Renaissance architecture and fragrant Vino Nobile wine. You will have free time to stroll through its historic streets, take in the panoramic views, and explore at your own pace.

As you continue towards Pienza, your driver will guide you along a scenic route through the gently plowed hills, making a stop at a breathtaking viewpoint to admire the iconic cypress trees of Monticchiello. This Tuscan landscape, with its roads framed by perfectly placed cypress trees, provides the ideal opportunity for unforgettable photos that will shine on your Instagram and leave your friends amazed.

The journey then continues to Pienza, a true Renaissance gem and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can visit the stunning Cathedral and Palazzo Piccolomini or simply wander through the quaint streets, enjoy some shopping in the local artisanal shops (and don’t forget to try the delicious pecorino cheese produced here), taking in the authentic atmosphere. If you would like to stop for lunch, we would be happy to recommend and reserve a table at one of the local restaurants where you will taste the delicious food of the region (please note that lunch is not included in the tour price).

After Pienza, you will head to Montalcino, the heart of the prestigious Brunello wine production. Here, you can take a leisurely walk through the historic center and admire the impressive medieval fortress.

If you wish, you can add a visit to one of the great region’s wineries. You will have the opportunity to explore the estate, learn about the winemaking process, and enjoy a tasting of locally produced wines. Just flag the relevant option in the reservation box. 

At the end of the day, your driver will take you back to Rome, ensuring a smooth and comfortable return after a day filled with stunning scenery, art, history, and unforgettable flavors.

If your travel itinerary includes continuing your journey to Florence, a great option is to take this tour on the same day as your transfer from Rome to Florence. Your driver will safely store your luggage throughout the tour and drop you off at your hotel in Florence at the end of the day. Simply select the relevant option in the reservation box when booking.

This will be a private tour: you will not be part of a group, it will just be you and your party. The driver will be entirely dedicated to you. The itinerary is flexible and can be customized based on your wishes.

Well, let me tell you, Tuscany is even more beautiful than I imagined it. These little towns are like coming out of a Medieval painting. We took a daytrip with a private driver from Rome to see Tuscany. It was a lovely day, although in the end I wish we had more. The driver was nice and friendly and the minivan was comfy enough. We had an excellent lunch with various bottles of red wine. Thankfully we didn't need to drive back ourselves!

Hi Andrea, We had an absolutely wonderful time with our driver Big Lucca!! Lucca was extremely accommodating, professional, and flexible. He also was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much from him! We had a very difficult time finding a reliable company to accommodate our needs, and are so happy that we found you all, and Big Lucca! We will absolutely be referring your services to friends and family who plan to visit Italy! We look forward to our next trip to Italy and asking for Big Lucca! Take care! Best Regards, Celine
