After a 3 week whirlwind around southern Italy, I was ready for a much needed R & R and I sure got that with "Alex" on my rainy, but beautiful and mystical magical day driving throughout the lovely small towns in and around Tuscany. I honestly have to say it was the best day of my 21 day trip. Alex was very easy to be with and talk to. He gave me much insight into Italy answering many questions which I still had. Communication with "Kiss From Italy" was excellent throughout and I have to say I wish I could do the day all over again. A great highlight of my trip. Thank you.
White glove, personal experience. Incredibly friendly guide who explained the experience as we went. Fantastic memory we will never forget
I booked this for a family of 10 and they had an AMAZING experience on the tour and I, as the travel agent, had an amazing experience communicating with Kiss from Italy. I am making them my GO TO company for private tours. My clients expect excellence and Kiss from Italy provided excellent service. Don't hesitate - the guides/drivers/experience was perfecto!
Loved it and relaxing. Wanted to see more wildflowers and instead had to pig out everywhere. I love food.
What a wonderful experience. Alessandro picked us up in rome on time in an immaculate and comfortable van. The drive up to Tuscany included stops to take photos of the beautiful countryside. The three planned stops went as planned and I enjoyed the free time to explore. He provided a great recommendation for our lunch. The tour of the winery was top-notch. We had the complete place to ourselves which made for a special tasting experience. I would also point out that the communication from the tour company was outstanding. When I was unable to obtain details prior to the tour, Francesca made sure to contact me with all the information I needed. Again, a wonderful experience.
Don’t hesitate another minute. Book this tour. Sandra was very communicative and responsive. Our driver, Francesco, was professional and engaging. The itinerary was well organized with some time on our own as well. We loved every minute!
Our tour guide was wonderful. He suggested several stops that were the highlight of our trip. I 100% recommend this tour.
This was the absolute highlight of our time in Rome. Our guide Peter was wonderful. We are not wine drinkers, so he suggested instead of going to a winery, we make a different stop.. it was the highlight of our trip. I know this tour is expensive, but it is worth every penny!
Francesco was wonderful! He was on time to our hotel and accommodated a last minute change for the trip…we added a stop at San Fillippo to see the hot springs which I highly recommend. He also had wonderful dinner suggestions and so much more to offer to our day.
Everything was seamless, from the planning, communication and the tour. Our guide, Michael was the best!!! He was educational, fun and really made this special trip to Tuscany extra special. Our winery tour was amazing, private and full of beautiful scenery and wine! I would highly recommend this tour, especially if Michael is your guide!
