**Visiting the places of medieval Tuscany** is comfortable and fun with this tour suitable for both **Solo Travel** and **families**.

Start from Florence for a journey through the natural beauties of Tuscany to discover walls, castles and Templar legends!

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 **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 fabulous view of the panorama of **Val d'Orcia** will accompany our return to Florence scheduled for the end of the day.
