1.Tuscany & Montepulciano Day Trip with Lunch & Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,232 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

Review of Rome’s Tuscany and Montepulciano day trip, with coach travel, Tuscan lunch, wine tasting, Pienza, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Loved this tour. This was our second tour of Tuscany this trip. This tour was more focused on the small towns and countryside of Tuscany than wine but the winery we visited was amazing considering it was a 16th century friary still operated through generations of the same family. Eduardo was the best tour guide. Thanks for an amazing day!”

Review of Florence’s Cinque Terre day trip, with train, boat, free time, optional lunch, practical tips, value, and honest drawbacks.

“We had a great day exploring Cinque Terre. This tour is for you if you only have one day to explore the area, as it is fast paced but covers 4 out of 5 towns. Our guide was wonderful and helped keep the group together despite the challenges! We were in large groups of about 45 people, but our guide did well to keep everyone accounted for. We were able to seperate from the group to explore the towns independently which was appreciated. Unfortunately we did not get to go on the boat due to rough waters that day. In terms of what to bring- a water bottle, a portable…”
