Not as advertised!!!
This trip is advertised to include visits to 3 mountain towns, all of which we were looking forward to visiting. We did not visit any of them. We were instead taken to two wineries and a cheese farm outside of those towns. The first winery was really good and we enjoyed the visit, but it was not in the town of Montepulciano. We could see it in the distance, but never went anywhere near the town. We were then late getting to the cheese farm and missed the tour. We did have a nice lunch overlooking the valley and they arranged for us to at least look at where the cheese was produced. This also was not in the city of Pienze as advertised and we never saw the town. Our next stop was another winery near the town of Montaicino, but not in it. I was really looking forward to a Brunello tasting as advertised, but we were taken to a small winery that was not very representative of the good Brunello wine we had been drinking during our visit to the area. This tour looked nothing like what was advertised. In addition, the driver did not speak very good English and provided no information as we traveled along the Val D’Orcia road. If we passed the areas where the film Gladiator was filmed, we would have never known. I reached out to the tour operator, Massimo, but was not able to get even a partial refund. Over all, this tour was nothing like the description and should be removed from TripAdvisor and Viator. I would highly recommend against using this tour operator since it was completely mis-represented.
Response from the operator: Dear Clay, thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. Although it hurts, this gave our company the chance to improve the description and the general communication about this specific tour for further clients. The main focus was supposed to be a visit to two wineries in the two different wine regions of Montepulciano and Montalcino with a cheese farm visit and lunch with cheese tasting in between. The towns visits are not supposed to be an in-depth part of this specific tour as the food and wine experiences involved are and determine a considerable part of the expenses the company covered and paid for cause you did not skip those reason why we couldn’t agree to a refund. We will certainly use this review as part of our growth to avoid any further misunderstanding and clearly it would have been better to have you acknowledge the driver during the tour rather than let it go until the end of the tour and send a complaint after the experience.

BEST DRIVER AND TOUR COMPANY!
Massimo and Tucany tours were a life saver! I had originally booked them to take our group from Florence to Cinqua Terre during our trip but was lucky enough to also get them to do the private tour of Tiacany ,Siena, and San gimignano. This included an amazing lunch and wine tasting. Massimos' energy and personality were just what we needed for our first time in Tuscany. Hiring Massimo to drive us saved so much stress, as he is unbelievably punctual and easygoing. With the constant rail strikes in Italy, I had no worries about getting to our next destination. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them upon our return for future trips. We'll worth every penny (euro!)

Best day in Tuscany
Our best day in Tuscany thanks to Massimo and his great personality, sense of humor and love of Italy. He was incredibly punctual in picking me and my husband up from our hotel and we instantly felt comfortable and welcomed in his very comfortable, impeccable van. I highly recommend his company to anyone looking for a driver to tour around Italy.

Superb tour!!
Luca was an excellent host, providing a comfortable ride, superb explanations of the area, its history and the wines. He got us to each location on time, escorted us and we had a fantastic experience. The wineries and the lunch were superb.

Private tour Wine and cheese a perfect combinations val 'Orcia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arezzo.
How much does Private tour Wine and cheese a perfect combinations val 'Orcia cost?
+
Prices start at $525 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arezzo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private tour Wine and cheese a perfect combinations val 'Orcia 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 Arezzo is not rushed.
Is Private tour Wine and cheese a perfect combinations val 'Orcia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Arezzo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private tour Wine and cheese a perfect combinations val 'Orcia?
+
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 Private tour Wine and cheese a perfect combinations val 'Orcia 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 Private tour Wine and cheese a perfect combinations val 'Orcia?
+
Around 2 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 Arezzo 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 Arezzo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour Wine and cheese a perfect combinations val 'Orcia 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 Arezzo 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 Arezzo?
+
On Outty we rank every Arezzo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour of the vineyards and tasting of Evo wines and oil in Tuscany, Wine and olive oil tastings with the locals, Cellar Tour & Wine Tasting. 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 Arezzo?
+
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 Arezzo?
+
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.
