Our guide / driver Gabrielle was extremely kind and good people. We had a very quiet day, able to meet Pisa (which we did not see much grace / it was 35/40min thing) and then Lucca - which we liked very much and would love to have even explored more. The highlight was we closed with the tour at the vineyard. We were super well received. An incredible experience. We love it.
Andrea, who transported us, is excellent! Super friendly, familiar with the region and its history. We visited the Podere dell’Anselmo vineyard and it was an excellent experience!
Jack is an incredible driver. He was our driver in Florence. Very patient and waited for us above and beyond. I wish he could be our driver always.
Claudius was excellent guide, very friendly and extremely attentive to the personal needs of my family. Highly recommended
We went to Pisa and Lucca with Claudius and it was a fantastic experience. We went to a winery in Tuscany too. The sights were incredible and the experience was unforgettable thanks to our knowledgeable, humorous, and kind guide Claudius! Would recommend for anyone and everyone!

Andreas was the best to God we had our entire trip in Italy. We were there for 10 days and had 15 different tours. We would use him for any and all experiences on our next trip.
Claudius our private guide was like familia to the spice girls. Very courteous knowledgeable funny. Would highly recommend.
Claudius was our driver, and he was FANTASTIC!!! It was our last day in Florence, so we told him we only wanted to go to Lucca, not Pisa, so we could get back to Florence by 6:30 and have an early dinner. He added so much to our tour on the drive there and back with interesting information and funny stories. As far as Lucca, we rented bikes for 5€ each and rode all around the town!! It was so relaxing and a great way to see a lot in a short amount of time. Claudius gave us a recommendation for dinner on our drive back, and it was one of our best dining experiences in Italy! This tour was a wonderful way to end our 2-week vacation in Italy, and Claudius played a huge role in our enjoyment. Thank you, Claudius!!
Dear Kathy and John, Thank you for your review and for giving us a score of 5! We’re thrilled to hear that Claudius made your last day in Florence so enjoyable. It's wonderful that he added interesting information and funny stories to your tour, and that you had a relaxing time in Lucca. We’re glad his dinner recommendation enhanced your experience. We appreciate your kind words and are grateful you chose our family business to end your vacation. Best regards, Brian - Customer Care Manager
This was one of our favorite tours while in Italy. A stop in Pisa and Lucca. We absolutely loved Lucca. Then we had an amazing stop at Fattoria San Michele A Torri Winery. Rami our tour guide was wonderful.
The whole tour was great. We had an amazing driver that answered all of our questions about any of the sights we saw. We liked that we were able to be dropped off to explore on our own and picked up to go to the next location. The end was great. The Chianti wine tasting was amazing. We booked this last min and were so happy and glad we did. Cosimo our driver and tour guide was so nice and accommodating!
