Private driver for tours in Tuscany/Umbria

Ciao! We are a group of six adults who will be staying in a villa in Cortona in mid-September. Although we will have rental cars, we're interested in a private driver to take us around some of the lesser-visited towns in Umbria (and possibly in Tuscany). Any recommendations for a driver who can accommodate all of us, or a tour company that you recommend? It doesn't have to be a private tour--just a small group. Some of the places we're thinking about going are Montalcino, Montepulciano, Spoleto, Norcia, Deruta and Gubbio. (I've been to most of these already and love them.) Obviously these are too many places for one trip, but we have time to pick and choose. No big buses! Grazie mille!

We did a fantastic 12 day tour of The Hidden Villages and Towns of Tuscany and Umbria a few weeks ago with Road Scholar Tours. It was great.

We stayed in Siena and Spoleto and did day trips to so many great places. We visited Cortona and Gubbio as well as other place.
Loved Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto and Orvieto in Umbria. San Giminancio (SP), Siena and more were included. We had a small group tour and great tour guides.

Try Diego Tordoni. He’s based in Spello but takes people all over Umbria and probably beyond. He took my family on a full day outing to Castelluccio di Norcia and he’s fabulous. I don’t know for sure if he can accommodate 6 adults but I would think he can because he drove us in a van. He’s very kind and knowledgeable and is a safe driver.

Last October I went to Montalcino, we had 6 adults total. We did a day trip for wine tasting with Fabrizio from Ciao Fabry Tours. He picked us up in a van, took us to 2 Brunello wineries, and a sheep farm for lunch. He's based in Montepulciano, does cooking classes at his home there, and will tailor your itinerary to your desires. He does pick ups in Siena and Florence so Cortona isn't too far off. He may be able to put together an itinerary for you, definitely worth checking out. He's very knowledgeable, funny, reasonably priced, and seemed to have a lot of local connections.
