Highly recommend taking a tour with Marco. I couldn’t believe how knowledgeable he was about the regions and he showed us so many unique views. He was very professional and easy going! We had a blast and will be booking again.
We had a wonderful trip into the Orcia Valley, visiting Pienza, Montalcino, and Montepulciano. Our driver Marco was fabulous!!! He arranged a personalized pick up near our AirBNB. He arranged fantastic wine cellar tours and tastings in Montepulciano and Montalcino, including lunch at the winery in Montalcino with a stellar view!! He personalized our itinerary to the sites and activities we were interested in seeing. This is the best way to see the Tuscan countryside and experience small, authentic Tuscan towns and wineries. I would absolutely recommend!!
It was a beautiful trip around the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Marco was flexible and made the best of our trip even in the stormy weather. Beautiful views, great food and wine and a very comfortable ride. Perfect way to see the beautiful Tuscan area with an expert guide. Would recommend!
Hi Julie! Thanks for this very good review! I had a great day driving for you and your party. I hope to get a chance to meet you again and drive you to discover other gems of this amazing land. Thanks again! Marco
We enjoyed the wine tours and the lovely meal overlooking the valley. We didn’t get much free time and that was a disappointment.
This tour was private, friendly, delicious and tons of fun! We went to 2 small villages to stroll and shop, then we went to a family owned small vineyard for wine tasting and food pairing. We had a private table, exceptional service and wine and food to die for!!! Marco made sure we knew where we going, took great care of us, and let us have time to explore on our own. This was so much fun, and gave us alone time to enjoy our delicious and romantic wine and food! A perfect day. Thank you , Marco. He made it all very special!
Our guide Marco was amazing. He is local and knows so much about the region, wine, and the history here. He was also super friendly, warm, and fun!
Our tour guide and owner was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. He let us make our own itinerary and did not rush us. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with Tuscany Top Drivers. Marco is so knowledgeable, friendly, fun and flexible! He was willing to change our tour several times to meet our needs. He made all the reservations so we could relax and enjoy our day. We would definitely recommend him and his company. Thank you Marco and if you ever make it to Chicago please let us know. We would love to return the favor!
Thank you very much Nicole! I' m very glad you loved this tour. I really hope to meet you again here in Tuscany or even to Chicago if I ever traveled to U. S. with my family. Ciao and I wish you all the best! Marco
During our honeymoon, my husband and I hired Marco for multiple private day trips out of Florence to explore the Tuscany region. We are beyond glad that we did this because Marco was an amazing driver and guide. He was responsive, professional, punctual, knowledgeable, charming and courteous. Marco thoughtfully arranged private wine tastings and lunches for us so that we really did not have to do anything on these days except sit back, relax and enjoy. Even after our trip, he graciously helped us make reservations at a winery for our friends visiting Italy later in June. We highly recommend Marco if you are looking for a private driver to coordinate perfect days for you in Tuscany!
Marco was amazing! He had so much information about the history,the people, and the wines of the area. Highly recommend him, so much better than taking a bus tour with 50-60 other people. Marco knew all the scenic places to stop for picture taking that you won't get on a bus tour. Well worth the money! Thank you, Marco, it was a great day!
