Scam city
This is a scam. Pay $1400+ and then you will be told to pay for the wine tastings and the lunch!!!! Awful.
Response from the operator: We were very sorry to see this review, as it does not reflect what was included in the tour or the considerable efforts we and our driver made to accommodate your booking error. You mistakenly booked our tour believing you had booked a different service operated by another company. As with all our clients, you received clear information from us prior to your tour detailing what was included and what was not. At no stage did you contact us with any questions or concerns regarding the inclusions. Once we became aware of the misunderstanding, we went out of our way to accommodate your expectations and ensure you could still enjoy your day - you chose to proceed with a 10 hour tour which included visits to both vineyards we had booked for you, at no additional charge. We therefore find the description of our service as a “scam” particularly disappointing. You were not misled about what was included in your booking, and we made every effort to assist once we understood what had happened.

Highlight of our trip
Marco, our driver and guide, planned our day perfectly. We mentioned that we did not want to do the whole winery tour just the tasting part and that we love Brunello and good food. So that is what our day consisted of and it was fabulous! He even got us into an extra winery for a tasting since we had a bit of extra time. Lunch was delicious too. Perfect day.

How long does Private Day Trip to Montalcino and Montepulciano from Florence 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 Florence is not rushed.
Is Private Day Trip to Montalcino and Montepulciano from Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

+
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 Private Day Trip to Montalcino and Montepulciano from Florence?
+
Around 1 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 Florence 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 Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

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 Florence?
+
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 Florence?
+
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?
+
