- AEva· April 30th, 2023Outstanding natural beauty of the region. Pienza, lovely little townTrip date: April 2023Review collected by Explore!
- AElizabeth· April 30th, 2023All of the landscape and the beautiful sites of Tuscany, together with all the towns that we visited. The wine tasting was that we did on the Monday, together with the additional one that was included because the walking was cut short on the Tuesday were all excellent. We also had an additional, paid for winetasting on Friday which you might want to think about including as well. Perhaps if this is advertised as a walking and wine tour, there should be at least three inclusive wine tastings throughout the week.Show moreTrip date: April 2023Review collected by Explore!
