This full-day bus tour from Rome covers the Val d'Orcia region in Tuscany, south of Siena, in about 12 hours. The journey begins with a coach ride through rolling hills to the area known for its medieval towns and rustic farms. Upon arrival, the tour visits Montepulciano where a guide leads a walking tour through the Renaissance hilltown, highlighting the Florence-style clock tower, the cathedral with its incomplete façade, medieval wine cellars, and old town walls. Lunch follows at a Tuscan farm and winery near Montepulciano, featuring a three-course meal paired with local wines including Brunello di Montalcino. If the group option is selected, the lunch includes a fresh pasta-making demonstration and a sommelier-guided wine tasting. Next, the tour stops at St. Biagio's Church for a 30-minute visit. This Renaissance church features a Greek cross central plan and is situated overlooking the Tuscan hills. Its design influenced the original plans for St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The trip continues to Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where visitors have up to 45 minutes of free time to walk around the historic center, view its architecture, and shop for local products such as the region’s pecorino cheese. After exploring Pienza, participants return to Rome by air-conditioned coach. The tour includes an English-speaking professional guide, audio headsets, and if selected, pickup and drop-off within Rome. The coach is equipped with unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi.
