Tour Itinerary

1
Your tour begins in central Rome
Meet your guide in central Rome and step onto a comfortable coach as the city wakes up around you. You settle in and watch Rome’s streets give way to open roads and soft morning light. -
2
Drive into the Tuscan countryside
As you head north, the scenery shifts to wide fields, olive groves, and hilltop villages in the distance. Your guide points out the volcanic landscapes around Lake Bolsena and explains why this area is famous for its wines. -
3
Cross the Civita di Bagnoregio footbridge
Park in the modern village below and take a short shuttle to the footbridge entrance. From there, walk the dramatic 300-meter pedestrian bridge into Civita, with sweeping views of pale tufa cliffs, deep ravines, and sharp ridgelines. -
4
Wander Civita’s narrow streets
Once inside, you have 1.5 hours of free time to roam narrow stone lanes and quiet piazzas. Pause at panoramic viewpoints where the air feels cooler and the landscape drops away in every direction, then duck into small shops before meeting back up. -
5
Enjoy lunch and wine tastings at a family-run winery
Next, you roll into the Montepulciano countryside for a winery visit surrounded by olive tress and vineyards. Tour the property and learn how wine is made, then sit down for a 3-course Tuscan lunch paired with 4 wine tastings and olive oil tasting. -
6
Stroll Pienza at your own pace
After lunch, continue to Pienza for 1.5 hours of free time in this Renaissance hill town. Walk the honey-colored streets, browse local food shops, and take in broad Val d’Orcia views that look like a painted landscape. -
7
Your tour ends in central Rome
In the evening, you ride back to central Rome as the light fades over the countryside. You return to where the day began with a full camera roll and that just-left-Tuscany feeling that lingers.

Customer Reviews
Bright skies framed our lunch tables as Simone joined during refills and made sure everyone felt included. Shared dishes encouraged conversation, and soft breezes carried laughter across the vines. It felt more like a friendly gathering than a planned tour.
Wide farmland surrounded our tables as stories passed between guests. Food tasted honest, wine stayed flowing, and time felt generous. A lovely way to enjoy an unhurried afternoon.
Warm countryside welcomed us with open views and fresh plates. Michele joked with guests while pouring wine, keeping the mood light. Conversations moved easily between tables, and shared desserts brought everyone together in a way that felt genuine.
Amazing day trip! The fields stretched around our table making it a scenic escape, while glasses were refilled and stories shared. Lunch felt generous and unrushed. I appreciated how naturally conversations flowed, turning strangers into friendly faces by the time dessert arrived.
