The experience

You're picked up from your Siena hotel and travel in a private vehicle with a driver guide who speaks English and Italian. The first stop is Montepulciano, a hilltop town in the Val d'Orcia known for Vino Nobile DOCG wine. You have leisure time to walk the squares and streets, browse local craft shops, or visit one of the wineries in the town center to taste the wine. There's no fixed itinerary here. You decide how long to stay and what to see.

From Montepulciano, you continue to Orvieto, an Etruscan city where you can explore on your own. The Duomo and the double-helix well of St. Patrick are among the main sights. You'll have time to eat at one of the town's trattorias or restaurants (you choose and pay separately), then walk through the squares and streets before the final leg to Rome. The driver drops you at your Rome hotel or airport.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Italian.

How much time do I get to spend in Montepulciano and Orvieto?

Montepulciano and Orvieto are both leisure stops where you set the pace. The itinerary doesn't fix how long you stay at each one, so you can spend an hour browsing shops and tasting wine in Montepulciano, or several, and do the same in Orvieto. The full journey from Siena to Rome takes seven hours.

Is the driver guide with me the whole time, or just during the drive?

Your driver guide travels with you throughout the day and speaks English and Italian. You can ask questions during the drive and at the stops, though the time in each town is yours to explore independently.

What is Vino Nobile DOCG wine, and can I taste it?

Vino Nobile DOCG is a red wine produced in the Montepulciano region and protected by Italian designation of origin law. Several wineries in Montepulciano's town center offer tastings. You can visit one during your leisure time there, and any tasting fees are yours to pay.

Does the price include meals or wine tastings?

Food, drinks and wine tastings are not included. You pay for any meals in Orvieto's restaurants or trattorias and for any wine tastings in Montepulciano's wineries.

Where exactly does the driver drop me off in Rome?

The driver takes you to your Rome hotel or to the airport, depending on where you're staying or departing from. Confirm your drop-off point when you book.
