Not what we had planned for on our last day in Rome!
What could have been spectacular didn't meet the mark. We were greeted at the meeting place by our guide Corinna. A very sweet and understanding guide. Soon after we boarded the bus, we were informed of several things amongst one in particular, that instead of being a 7 to 8 hours excursion which was what we booked, it was going to be for 12 hours instead! That rocked all of our plans that day. We had reservations that night after the tour to celebrate our last day in Rome, not! After mentioning it to our guide and showing her the printout stating the '7 to 8 hours' tour, she apologized and tried to make all kinds of suggestions, but for our plans they were completely shot! I don't blame her, but I do blame the tour company for putting us in a critical position and ruining our plans. I still don't understand how that happened. Anyhow, the sights we did go see were absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The place we ate at was picturesque indeed, but I can't say that the food was anything to write home about. Good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Oh, did I mention that instead of arriving back at 7:30, we still didn't get back until after 8:00 pm., and we still had to take a taxi back to the hotel and eat something somewhere before our early departure the next morning. Not what we had planned for on our last day!
Response from the operator: Thank you for telling your experience with us. We are truly sorry to learn that the duration of the tour had such a significant impact on your plans for your last day in Rome. First of all, we would like to thank you for your kind words about Corinna. We are pleased to hear that she was understanding, professional, and did her best to assist you after learning about the situation. We sincerely regret your disappointment regarding the tour timing. We understand how frustrating it must have been to discover that the excursion would take longer than expected, especially when you had already organized important plans for the evening. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused and understand why it affected your overall experience. At the same time, we would like to note that this tour welcomes a large number of guests each day, and travel times can occasionally be influenced by traffic conditions, boarding procedures, and the logistics involved in coordinating a group of this size. While we always strive to adhere to the planned schedule, slight delays can sometimes occur despite our best efforts. We are nevertheless glad to hear that you found the destinations beautiful and breathtaking, and that you appreciated the care and support provided by your guide throughout the day. Your feedback regarding the tour description and timing is very important to us, and we will review it carefully to ensure that expectations are communicated as clearly as possible for future guests. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope that despite this disappointment, you were able to take home some wonderful memories of the places you visited.

Beautiful country but poorly guided
Our guide was a very nice person but obviously did not have experience in managing a group of people, I.e., clearly stating meeting time and place, giving a heads up to guests on what to expect or next steps. We always had to ask. Also no info about area we were in.
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for your honest feedback. We are glad to hear that our guide was kind, but we sincerely apologize for the uncertainty you experienced during the tour. We know how important it is to feel 'in good hands' and to receive engaging information about the area. We have already addressed your comments with the guide involved to improve group management and communication regarding timing and logistics. Your input is invaluable in helping us grow and improve our service.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
from Rome Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Wine Routes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does from Rome Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Wine Routes cost?
+
Prices start at $1 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does from Rome Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Wine Routes take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is from Rome Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Wine Routes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule from Rome Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Wine Routes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is from Rome Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Wine Routes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book from Rome Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Wine Routes?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does from Rome Montepulciano and Montalcino, the Wine Routes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
