Beautiful but brace for steep walks.
DrBarbara_C, Apr 2024
Both Pienza and Montepulciano were beautiful hill towns and the Tuscan countryside around both at its best in Spring. Both towns are very steep and anyone with even slight mobility issues needs to think carefully about this day out. Our guide did his best to help us navigate the challenges but we did find the tour exhausting.
Thanksgiving with Francesca in Val d'Orcia
Kathy_W, Nov 2023
We were thrilled to be paired with Francesco as our tour guide / driver again (we had him in 2022). The drive through Val d'Orcia and the views at Pienza were breathtaking. We had a wonderful time at the Talosa Winery with Nicholas which was most informative. Our stop at Pienza for lunch was so memorable - lunch at Tratoria de Luna was superb - and the late afternoon sunset views were amazing. What a great way to spend Thanksgiving Day!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Dear Kathy, thank you for your wonderful appreciation words! We're delighted to know we were able to provide a so nice and good Thanksgiving day. We're happy you had Francesco once again and we're happy to hear he was again a good choice. Thank you for sharing your opinion with us and we do hope to have you back with us for another good and lovely day, again! Best regards, ACCORD Team

Val d'Orcia
Joe W, Jun 2019
This was an awesome trip. Our driver spoke good English and drove us around to see countryside views that we told him we were hoping to see. He had great knowledge of the area and the history of wineries, local specialties, agriculture, etc. He even found a farm to table restaurant that was off the beaten path and managed to get us in to a already full dining hall for a fantastic meal. It was a great day.
