We had a lovely day out...
We had a lovely day out with our driver Alex. He was able to show us all we were after and took us to some very beautiful winery’s. Couldn’t ask for a better day.
Response from the operator: Good morning to you! You are a wonderful family, and thanks to your kind participation, we were able to share much of our experience in Tuscany, a marvelous land that makes everyone who visits fall in love with it. Thank you for your valuable contribution. May we continue our journey and enjoy Europe. Alex

Good times!
It was wonderful. The Canneto wine tasting was great. We loved the towns. Could have used more time in Montepulciano. Alessandro was a great guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! Good morning Mr. and Mrs. O'brien, it was a real pleasure to have you as our guests, thanks to your precious collaboration we were able to offer our best. We are happy that you had a great time with the activities offered. Blessings, happy Christmas holidays and many beautiful things for a wonderful year 2025.

Not worth the price
The winery Canneto and the host Daniela at the winery were the best part. Although Alex, our driver, was a lovely man, he did not speak or understand English or Spanish. We read on a previous review that his English wasn’t great, but figured, since we speak Spanish as well (which it says he does) we’d be fine. Not so much. We were hoping for a private tour, we would have been offered more information, history, anything really…. But Alex was mostly just a driver. Not worth the price
Response from the operator: Our driver Alessandro sometimes also called Alex, is a very good and helpful driver of ours, he is a new guy and certainly with all the good will he tried to do his best. The real Alex (named Alex) speaks Italian and Spanish at a native level, English very well but not fluent. The tour includes wine tasting in English which would be the most important part of the activity, Alessando's level was sufficient to understand and make the drop-off and pick-up in the small towns to visit understood, maybe some panoramic explanation of the place but not at the level of a tourist guide. The driver acts as a guide because he takes you to make the stops and visits before the main attraction of the service: THE WINE TASTING IN ENGLISH.

We were on a cruise and...
We were on a cruise and took an extra day to leave from Rome to drive to Tuscany. Our driver was very nice, absolutely punctual and very experienced driver. However with limited English and needing to communicate somewhat thru Spanish a very second language to me it was difficult. We drove to the beautiful towns of Pienza and Montepulciano. We were not however prepared to tour the towns and glean any history or knowledge other than pictures on our own. I'm happy we were able to experience Tuscany but would make sure that should we do it again, with someone speaking full English.
Response from the operator: Thank you for appreciating our tour, sometimes we are inundated with work requests and in any case we try to satisfy all our customers. We are pleased that you appreciated the effort of our assistant and above all his kindness and professionalism. Cordial greetings

AMAZING EXPERIENCE: READ PLEASE
This was the highlight of our stay in Rome. We had initially booked a different tour, and rebooked a private tour when a member of our group had last minute surgery. BEST DECISION we could have made. We agreed that this was well worth the money. We were picked up by our guide Alessandro who from the beginning was prompt, polite and very accommodating to the member of our group that was on crutches. We drove from Rome to Pienza. On the way we stopped a beautiful castle for photos. In Pienza, Alessandro accompanied us and told us about the city, walked around the shops and we tasted delicious cheeses, vinegar and olive oil. We traveled to Montepulciano where we were greeted by Daniela and toured the cellars. Daniela was personable and knowledgeable. The tour was the perfect length and we sampled many, many wines and olive oil. The views from the vineyard were stunning. We could not stop talking about what an amazing day it had been. We ended up purchasing wine and olive oil because it was so delicious. We opted to have lunch at a restaurant (there were some picky eaters in the group), and Alessandro brought us to a lovely restaurant. We do not speak Italian, and Alessandro stayed with us until we ordered to ensure the order was placed correctly. The lunch was absolutely delicious! We really appreciated the kindness and hospitality provided throughout the tour. We traveled as 3 sisters in our late 20’s- early 30’s and our mom who is in her 60’s, and all of us said we would do this again in a heartbeat! I truly cannot recommend this tour enough!
Response from the operator: Good morning! Three beautiful girls and a beautiful lady, you are a wonderful family! Thank you for your cooperation and kindness, thank you for your sympathy and help which made the day much more dynamic and easier. For us it was a real pleasure to work with you and to have had them as guests! Your precious words fill us with joy and courage to continue offering the best of our services.! We are here, we look forward to seeing you next time, a very dear greeting! Thank you very much! Alessandro

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tuscany Wine Tour from Rome Montepulciano and Pienza: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Private Tuscany Wine Tour from Rome Montepulciano and Pienza cost?
+
Prices start at $148 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 Private Tuscany Wine Tour from Rome Montepulciano and Pienza take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Tuscany Wine Tour from Rome Montepulciano and Pienza worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 6 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 Private Tuscany Wine Tour from Rome Montepulciano and Pienza?
+
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 Tuscany Wine Tour from Rome Montepulciano and Pienza suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tuscany Wine Tour from Rome Montepulciano and Pienza?
+
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 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tuscany Wine Tour from Rome Montepulciano and Pienza 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.
