Marco is the best driver in Tuscany! We have had several trips with him and he has ALWAYS been terrific!!! He is a true gentleman. He is very knowledgeable about the area, wines and places to go and things to do. And, he’s lots of fun!!!
Thanks Heather! It' s always a pleasure to take care of you and your groups of ladies. I hope to see you again in Tuscany very soon! Marco
A great introduction to the chianti region. Beautiful. And Marco was super nice, helpful and informative. San Gimignani was very unique and the wine experience at Casa Emma was fantastic. Whatever you want to do in Tuscany - I highly recommend working with Marco!
The was our favorite day of our entire Italy trip! My husband and I visited 3 wineries (hand selected by Marco) where we had the most delicious Tuscan wine, aged balsamic, snacks, and lunch. The service, atmosphere, and views were remarkable. We loved it so much, we gifted the same experience to my parents when they went in October.
Trip of a lifetime! We will never forget our time in Tuscany. Our drive was top notch. So professional and extremely knowledgeable about every location. The wineries picked for us were a perfect blend of everything. The food and wine were amazing! We want to do it all over again. Thank you Marco!
If I could rate higher than a 5 I would! This is my second time doing a private tour with Marco. He is full of knowledge about Italy and wines! I will definitely tour with Marco next time we are in Italy. Thank you Marco!
Marco, our driver, was very friendly and personable, he shared details about Florence and Tuscany and the history of the small towns we drove through. He booked our wine tastings and gave us plenty of time to enjoy. His choices were perfect! We went to one winery that we basically had all to ourselves with picturesque views of the vineyard and the wine was EXCELLENT! Our second winery had tastings in very cool underground caves and the hostess was so funny and kind, even tasted wine along with us! After our tastings, we went to San Gimignano, and had an hour to wander the streets and get some gelato. It might have been nice to have a little more time here to properly enjoy it, but the payoff was stopping to view the city of Florence from Michelangelo square which was so so pretty! Marco had good recommendations everywhere we went and was very punctual. What a fun day!!
We hired Marco to help us see the beauty of San Gimignano and 2 wineries in the Tuscany region, from Florence. From our first email, he was extremely helpful, informative, and accommodating to our every question and itinerary change. He was especially patient with our 8 month old daughter throughout our day, which put us at ease and helped us enjoy the trip even more. On the way home, he even made a quick detour to Michaelangelo Square so we could see the sunset. I would recommend him time and time again!!!
Marco is the best!!! This is the third time we have had the pleasure of having Marco as our driver and guide. Very knowledgeable who not only drives you very comfortably and safely but gives you great information about the towns, history and wineries. He always organizes the most amazing wine and food tastings at intimate small wineries. Knows of great local places to have lunch and dinner (non touristy). Marco you are the best - thank you for the great time and experience as always. See you soon
We spent a magical day touring the Chianti region of Tuscany with Marco. Marco is a proud Florentine: he knows the city and region very well and loves to share his knowledge. We started with an overview of Florence from Piazza Michelangelo, and then visited San Gimignano. This is a lovely town with stone walls still intact. Then we hit the Chianti road for a visit to a family run winery where we had lunch. The beauty of this part of the country is a highlight of this trip. A private tour with driver is expensive, but since we had limited time it was well worth it for us. Thank you Marco.
Me and my family had Marco as our driver during this tour through the region of Tuscany from Florence. We started with a stop to Michelangelo square where is the best view of Florence from the hill. Then we drove to San Gimignano where we could have time to visit this medieval gem of Tuscany. Marco gave us also instructions about how to explore the town. Then we had stop to a couple of small family ran wineries for lunch and wine tasting in the Chianti wine region. The food and wines were great. We had Chianti Classico and Super Tuscan wines. We could also meet the owners who were very nice with us. It' s been a great day. Thank you Marco.
