About this tour

Leave Rome behind for a full-day escape into Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia, a landscape of rolling hills, vineyards, and historic hilltop towns. This Rome Tuscany day trip pairs time to explore Montepulciano and Pienza with regional wine and cheese tastings.

In Montepulciano, enjoy free time before visiting a historic wine cellar and sampling local wines, including Vino Nobile. Then continue through the scenic countryside to Pienza, where you can wander at your own pace and taste local cheeses. Round-trip transportation from Rome in an air-conditioned vehicle makes it easy to enjoy both towns in one day, while an expert multilingual tour leader or guide accompanies the shared group. The vehicle type may vary with group size.

With Renaissance streets, vineyard views, and flavors rooted in the region, this Rome Tuscany day trip offers a rewarding way to experience the countryside beyond the capital. Reserve your place and spend a day discovering two of Tuscany’s best-loved towns.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 48% in Rome means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in Rome by this score.
