Favorite local cuisine

Pici all'Aglione: hand-rolled pasta with tomato and aglione sauce. Aglione resembles giant garlic but has a milder, sweeter flavor—it's a unique local vegetable, not garlic at all.

Favorite things to do in Florence & Countryside

Aperitivo with friends in one of the beautiful places that surround us.

Backroads Tuscany - 7 Steps to Tuscan Heaven (9 Hours)
A truly unique experience. Stunning landscapes and always new curiosities to discover, thanks to a passionate guide who always kept us interested! The days were always filled with beauty, from the various villages scattered throughout the Val d'Orcia, to the incredible places to eat (the pici all'aglione and alla briciole will always be a special memory), to the wineries and the delicious wine... There was never a moment when we didn't feel looked after and accompanied in the best possible way! Thanks to Tuscan Experiences' suggestions, we were on the safe side and made the most of our time. If you happen to visit the Val d'Orcia area or want to, don't hesitate to contact Tuscan Experiences! I would make the same choice again with my eyes closed. And I really hope to be able to return soon!

Wonderful. Federica organized a tour for us, following our requests and providing us with advice that turned out to be a better experience than we had imagined. We found what we expected and discovered new things. Everything was organized perfectly: bookings, travel, zero stress. Federica knows the area very well, and we appreciated that her suggestions were sometimes unconventional, thus providing us with unexpected moments. We had a wonderful vacation, experiencing an authentic experience in a wonderful place! I can't wait to do it again.

I stayed in Val d'Orcia for 4 days with friends and we used Tuscany Esperienze to spend some quality time, without worrying about organization! Federica thought of everything: where, how, and why to go! As a "native"...who better than her! It wasn't my first time visiting this wonderful place, but...with Federica, I saw places that seemed new to me! All accompanied by incredible food and wine!! One treat after another! A truly pampering experience!!
