We are driving to Italy and plan on spending 5 nights near Lucca and 7 nights in Montalcino. We are going to avoid Florence and do that on another trip. I have heard that the area is spread out and you need a car or to hire one. We will have a car but was wondering if you can hire someone to drive you around in your own car (so can enjoy the wine I would assume hiring a car and driver might be very expensive but not sure if you could just get someone with a drivers license to take you around. Any thoughts?
