Medieval Tuscany experience: visit Val d'Orcia from Florence
Discover Monteriggioni, Montalcino and Pienza with a visit to the Templar museum, a tour of the medieval walls and optional wine tasting
Visiting the places of medieval Tuscany is comfortable and fun with this Sightseeing Experience tour suitable for both Solo Travel and families.
With equipped GT bus we will leave together for Monteriggioni, the small fortified village with walls dating back to 1200 AD which you can travel for an unprecedented immersive experience. Monteriggioni has become famous in the world for its presence in a well-known gaming title where the protagonist fought the infamous Knights Templar, and a museum is dedicated to them included in the formula of this tour. After the free time it will be time to leave for the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO heritage area characterized by expanses of emerald hills that turn into golden fields during the summer (you will certainly recognize a well-known scene from a famous film based on the life of a Gladiator of imperial Rome that was in fact shot on these hills along our route). In this beautiful area of Tuscany we will be the first to visit Montalcino, a village extremely known by true Tuscans for its wine, one of the best in Italy.
In Montalcino, if included in the specific rate, it will be possible to taste local wines and products of the Tuscan medieval tradition. After a rewarding walk through the streets and typical shops we will leave for the last stage of our tour, Pienza, a famous village known for its cheese production, we advise you to take advantage of the stage to include Pecorino di Pienza in your shopping.
A Montalcino, se incluso nella tariffa specifica, sarà possibile effettuare una degustazione di vini locali e di prodotti della tradizione medioevale toscana. Successivamente ad una gratificante passeggiata tra le strade e i negozi tipici partiremo per l'ultima tappa del nostro tour, Pienza, famoso villaggio noto per la sua produzione di formaggi, ti consigliamo di approfittare della tappa per includere il Pecorino di Pienza nel tuo shopping.
