The overall experience of...
The overall experience of seeing three small villages in Tuscany was great. The bus ride was painful. The volume was extremely loud, and the music was awful. The wine tasting and lunch were very good. The second winery and tasting was drawn out, and we had to wait for those who wanted the extended tasting experience. We were told to enjoy the scenery our nap on the hour long ride back, but the music was too loud to enjoy either.
Response from the operator: Dear Peggy, Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting the beautiful Tuscan villages, as well as the lunch and wine tasting experiences. Regarding the bus ride, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the music volume. Please rest assured that our tour leaders and drivers are always happy to adjust or turn off the music at any time during the journey upon request—a quick word to the staff on board is all it takes, and they will gladly accommodate your preference. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the winery timing as well, as they help us refine our operational flow. We hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future! Best regards, Davide

4 stars at best...
I think the average 4 star rating is fair! Guide and driver were good. The lunch was good. Itinerary was good except the wine tasting at the end which could hardly be called a 'tasting'. The 2 wine serves were so very small you could barely wet your tongue. We have never experienced such a small tasting before anywhere. To make things worse the whole thing dragged on for well over an hour in the heat and on uncomfortable seating. It was a very disappointing end to the tour. Not sure if you could call this tour value for money...

Fun and informational Tour
It's not really covered in the description but there's a fair amount of walking and climbing as all of these towns are built on Hills. It's not mountain goat climbing but there is a significant amount within the towns. Our guide Fabrizio was fun, and spoke three languages to the various groups on the bus. The lunch was probably the highlight with the wine tasting in Moltipulciano. All in all would recommend

An American in Tuscany
Leonardo was our host and he did an amazing job translating everything. Very friendly. Overall, the towns are beautiful and the wine was good. Prepare yourself for a solid amount of walking uphill, so have fresh legs. FYI, it's by bus with about 20-25 people. The bus was actually pleasant and easy . For improvement, I suggest limiting down to one vineyard and present more wine. At both you got a tasting (2oz).

A great Tuscan tour
On time pick up . The bus was really comfortable . The driver was good . Our guide Leonardo was helpful and resourceful The 3 stops we did were really enjoyable . The scenery is just breath taking with its fields of vines , olive trees , beautiful domaines on top of hills.

From Siena Best of Tuscany Wines and Lunch in Montepulciano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.
How much does From Siena Best of Tuscany Wines and Lunch in Montepulciano cost?
+
Prices start at $126 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Siena Best of Tuscany Wines and Lunch in Montepulciano take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Siena is not rushed.
Is From Siena Best of Tuscany Wines and Lunch in Montepulciano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Siena Best of Tuscany Wines and Lunch in Montepulciano?
+
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 Siena Best of Tuscany Wines and Lunch in Montepulciano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Siena Best of Tuscany Wines and Lunch in Montepulciano?
+
Around 7 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 Siena 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 Siena and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Siena Best of Tuscany Wines and Lunch in Montepulciano 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 Siena 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 Siena?
+
On Outty we rank every Siena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Brunello di Montalcino Wine-Tasting Trip from Siena, Siena: A Wine Tour and Tasting Experience, Small-Group Montepulciano and Pienza Day Trip from Siena. 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 Siena?
+
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 Siena?
+
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.
