About this experience

Enjoy a full-day journey from Rome through the rolling Tuscan hills to visit San Galgano, Pienza, and Montepulciano. Immerse yourself in the enchantment of San Galgano, a place where time seems to stand still. Here, nestled among the hills, stands the evocative roofless Abbey—a Gothic masterpiece that has defied the centuries, offering unforgettable views under the open sky. The journey continues with a visit to the nearby Hermitage of Montesiepi, home to the legendary Sword in the Stone. Next, explore Pienza, a splendidly preserved Renaissance village boasting breathtaking views of the Val d'Orcia. Finally, in Montepulciano, stop at a renowned local winery to taste the region's finest wines, perfectly paired with authentic Tuscan specialties.

What you'll see and do

  1. Eremo di Montesiepi

    The Hermitage of Montesiepi and the Abbey of San Galgano in Valdimerse constitute the most important religious and monumental complex in the Chiusdino area and, more generally, in the entire Siena region, and one of the most significant examples of Gothic-Cistercian architecture in Italy. At the center is the famous boulder containing the sword of San Galgano. The circular wall is punctuated by four asymmetrical double-splayed single-lancet windows. Opposite the entrance is the semicircular apse. To the left of the entrance is a rectangular chapel covered with a cross vault; this chapel was built in the early 14th century and frescoed between 1334 and 1336 by Ambrogio Lorenzetti.

  2. Abbazia di San Galgano

    “The church of San Galgano, as it stands, is a monument of grandiose and evocative beauty. The ivy that clings to its gray, gold, and red walls; the broken lines of the walls, which give the whole a fantastical appearance; those large, empty windows that our imagination completes with slender marble columns and stained-glass windows; the green lawn, a silky carpet that changes hue with every hour of the day and every breath of wind; and the blue vault of the sky that arches luminously over the naves; and the silence of the fields that stretch out all around—all combine to make this abandoned and deconsecrated temple more solemn and more mystical.”

  3. Montepulciano

    Perched atop a hill in southern Tuscany, not far from Siena, Montepulciano is a medieval town of rare beauty that is definitely worth a visit! A unique village with elegant Renaissance palaces, ancient churches, splendid piazzas, and hidden corners. Montepulciano also offers fabulous, sweeping views of the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana. Montepulciano's strategic location makes it the ideal base for exploring this beautiful corner of Tuscany. The charming town of Pienza, the spa town of Bagno Vignoni, the famous Montalcino, and many other enchanting villages are all within easy reach.

  4. Pienza

    Pienza is a small jewel in the Val d'Orcia, known as the city of Pope Pius II, born Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who was born here in 1405. Upon becoming Pope, Pius II sought to transform his humble hometown, Corsignano, into an urban and architectural treasure. He thus entrusted the complete renovation of the village to architect Bernardo Rossellino and humanist Leon Battisti Alberti, who in just four years, from 1459 to 1462, defined the harmonious and typically fifteenth-century appearance of what would become Pienza today.

Tuscan Wine Tour and the Legend of the Sword in the Rock: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

How much does Tuscan Wine Tour and the Legend of the Sword in the Rock cost?

+

Prices start at $128 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 Tuscan Wine Tour and the Legend of the Sword in the Rock 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 Tuscan Wine Tour and the Legend of the Sword in the Rock worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Tuscan Wine Tour and the Legend of the Sword in the Rock?

+

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 Tuscan Wine Tour and the Legend of the Sword in the Rock 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 Tuscan Wine Tour and the Legend of the Sword in the Rock?

+

Around 0 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 Tuscan Wine Tour and the Legend of the Sword in the Rock 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.
