About this tour
A 10–11 hour private drive from Rome sweeps you through Tuscany's countryside and medieval hilltop villages. Your English-speaking driver collects you from your hotel and navigates a Mercedes to towns with cobbled streets and Renaissance architecture. Pause at a winery for optional tastings, or skip it—the itinerary bends to what you want. You can finish in Florence if preferred. Lunch is yours to arrange.

What to expect
You'll start from your Rome hotel and head north into gentler terrain. Expect a mix of driving and walking—the old town centres are cars-free zones with uneven paving. Each village stop lets you browse on foot for an hour or so. If you add the winery, plan 90 minutes there with tastings and a cellar look-around. The Mercedes ride is smooth, air-conditioned, and roomy. Your driver handles navigation; you handle where to stop for coffee or a panini. It's a flexible day shaped by your pace, not a rushed tick-box tour.
Good to know
Bring proper walking shoes—cobbles are rough and can be steep. Lunch isn't provided; pack snacks or eat in village piazzas. The winery add-on costs extra. Wheelchair access exists in vehicles and some town areas, though medieval layouts have limitations. Prams work on main streets but struggle on side paths.
