We will start our exciting tour from the picturesque region in Tuscany – Val d’Orcia. This place has been declared the World Heritage Site by UNESCO, so no wonder it attracts so many tourists each year. Some people even say it is the most beautiful part of Tuscany. It is a very hilly place where you can see little gullies, and several incredibly picturesque towns, such as Pienza and Montalcino. As a professional private guide in Florence I would recommend you to visit Montalcino first. This town is really ancient; it has been settled since the time of the Etruscans.

Montalcino would be a wonderful place to explore for the history devotees and for any other tourists. It has countless attractions and places of interest:  the ruined castle La Rocca, Benedictine abbey  Sant’Antimo, numerous churches with matchless frescoes of the Sienese School.  This town is also known for its precious wine, which sometimes is considered to be the best of the Tuscany wines. After exploring the main sites of Montelcino we will proceed to Pienza. It is said to be one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, which is known for its matchless Renaissance architecture.  No wonder it was declared the World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

You would definitely enjoy sightseeing in Pienza. We will take a look at the Palazzo Vescovile, Palazzo Comunale, The Duomo, Palazzo Piccolomini, and several other tourist attractions. This tour is one of the most popular among other private tours in Florence.
