Your Tuscan Towns Tour Itinerary

Meet your local tour leader to travel by private 8-seat mini-van through the beautiful Tuscan countryside enjoyed by generations on the movie screen.

Join our local guide for a private mini-van journey through Tuscany’s picturesque countryside, celebrated in many films. Discover the Italian lifestyle, traditions, cuisine, and more with insights from your guide en route to Siena. This medieval town, famed for its role in “Letters to Juliet” and “Stealing Beauty,” enchants with its narrow artisan streets and the iconic red-brick squares. Don’t miss the gothic Siena Cathedral before we proceed.

Next, we visit Montepulciano, known for “Twilight Saga’s New Moon” and for its Montepulciano DOCG wine. Enjoy a wine tasting and explore local products in a 14th-century cellar, with opportunities to buy unique gifts or ship them home. Your guide will share insights into the movie scenes filmed here, allowing free time to explore more town attractions.

Lunch is in a local restaurant in Montepulciano, set in a captivating cellar where Tuscan hospitality meets the rich flavors of local wines paired with traditional Tuscan dishes. Discover the cellar’s underground tunnel, possibly an ancient Etruscan site, adding a historical twist to your meal.

Our final stop is Cortona, the olive grove-dotted hilltop town made famous by “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Enjoy free time to wander its narrow lanes, visit artisan shops, and see landmarks from the film, perhaps starting your own Italian romance story.

This 12-hour tour blends cinematic history with authentic Tuscan culture for an unforgettable experience.
