This was seriously the most amazing experience of my entire life Max was the funnest, funniest and coolest guide. He was so knowledgeable, so attentive so caring and so positive. I will use this company 1 million times. I had the best day ever.
Max was great and helped us so much to navigate through with precise directions and enough time to enjoy a few different cities. He was such a great guide for our first time in Italy Would recommend this full day adventure to anyone wanting to leave Cortona for the day. Katrina, Meagan & Debbie *Texas*
Hello Katrina, Meagan and Debbie, thank you so much for your lovely words! It was such a pleasure to share the day with you, and I really hope we can meet again to enjoy more of Tuscany together. Big hugs to all of you from Cortona! Massimo e Luca
Amazing trip with Luca. Made the trip memorable for our family of 4 and still managed to fit in a bit of time a local winery! Loved both San Gimignano and Monteriggioni and really enjoyed Luca’s knowledge of the area. Would certainly recommend Luca and would have booked for a subsequent trip but he was booked up!
Luca provided outstanding customer service throughout the entire tour. He was patient professional and explained contextualized historical information so that we understood the importance of what we were experiencing. He was kind personable and flexible. He went beyond his call of duty for the tour to make sure we saw everything. He was exceptional. I would highly recommend him for any tour.
Luka was wonderful! The time allocation accross each of the three places was exactly right. It was entertaining and also relaxing. We didn’t feel rushed or overwhelmed and had time to explore. I highly recommend!
