Great wine with beautiful views
While this tour is a bit long it was worth every minute. Our guide Keenan gave us information about the history of the region and towns we were visiting on the drive to Tuscany. The tasting was small, with only two wines, but they were excellent and the food was great.

Maybe recommend to a friend
The trip started late about 10 or 15 minutes waiting for 8 people, the tour guide was waiting for them to confirm but they never did. To about an hour drive after leaving the bus broke down and we waited until one show up, about an hour later with out air conditioning we left the broken down bus After the other bus show up we just rush to everything witch that was inconvenience and disappointment because we didn’t have enough time to visit the places, the tour guide give is 10 minutes for this 5 minutes for that and no time to have a good pace to walk and visit or buy souvenirs We were always rushing At the end the tour guide apologized for the in convenience Other that that it was ok
Response from the operator: Dear Maria, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced during your day trip. While our team strives to maintain precise schedules, unexpected operational challenges—such as waiting briefly for missing group members or managing unforeseen vehicle mechanical issues—can occasionally occur. On these rare occasions, our top priority is ensuring safety and securing replacement transportation as quickly as possible so the tour can safely continue. Because of the delay caused by the mechanical issue, our guide had to adjust the itinerary's pacing for the remainder of the day to ensure your group could still complete all the scheduled stops and return safely. We regret that this made the visit feel rushed, as we always aim to offer a balanced, enjoyable pace. We appreciate your understanding regarding these unforeseen circumstances and thank you for acknowledging our guide's efforts to manage the situation on site. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother experience on a future visit. Best regards, Davide

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at €84 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: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 12 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: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 141 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: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch?
+
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: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch?
+
Around 49 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch 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 Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & 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.
