Domenico did a nice job with the tour. It's mostly convenient because they take care of the driving - not a ton to see at the places, but you get some views and wine in a comfortable van.
Thank you so much for your lovely feednack about our Pisa, Vinci, Tuscany, Wine tasting all in one day tour! it's great to know that you loved to explore Tuscany, Pisa and its local product!
My family and I loved the Pisa and wine tour. We were able to have the van to ourselves so we were comfortable enough to just enjoy the scenery & get a glimpse of life outside the tourist pictures. We booked this tour through our travel agent in which we asked that are vacation be more of an adventure. This tour definitely filled that request. 😁 I loved that our guide was knowledgeable about not only the tower but also the Plaza it was in and the historical relevance. I loved the fact that he was willing to wait for us to get to meet-up point because as Americans we had no knowledge of getting around Florence and needed all the help we could get, lol. 😆 I highly recommend this tour and enjoy the wine which was magnificent.
We had an awesome trip. Nedas was a great driver and spoke wonderful English. It was awesome to see the leaning tower, especially for the kids. I enjoyed the two wine tour stops and got a much better appreciation of the Tuscan wine region. We got some great recommendations on restaurants. I would definitely book another trip with this company and Ned the next time we are in Florence..
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you had an awesome trip and that Nedas provided excellent driving and communication. It's great that the kids enjoyed seeing the Leaning Tower—it’s always a highlight! We're glad you appreciated the two wine tour stops and gained a better understanding of the Tuscan wine region. It's fantastic to hear that you found our restaurant recommendations helpful. We look forward to welcoming you back for another trip with us and Ned the next time you're in Florence. Cheers!
This was just what we were looking for! It was a short stop in Pisa which was perfect for viewing the tower, taking pictures and grabbing lunch. Probably not enough time if you wanted to go up and get lunch. But we thought it was ample time. Then you get to visit two vineyards and do a tasting at each. We had wine, oil and some meats. Nedas was our tour guide and he was amazing! So nice and very knowledgeable! Plus he had great taste in music which made the hour ride there much more enjoyable! Our group was only 4 people and it was perfect!! I highly recommend this tour!
We visited Pisa in the morning and 2 beautiful wineries in Tuscany in the afternoon. Our tour guide, Nedas was very informative and helpful. Only issue was a discrepancy about the meeting time/location which they clarified only after I contacted them to confirm the day before the tour. I would recommend you confirm everything well in advance to avoid any hassle. Other than that we had an amazing day and highly recommend it.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Pisa and the wineries in Tuscany. We're also glad that Nedas provided you with informative guidance throughout the tour. We apologize for any confusion and appreciate your recommendation to confirm details in advance. We hope to see you again soon!
Lorenzo was wonderful! So knowledgeable and helpful showing us around. Would highly recommend booking this tour.
Beautiful experience, very nice place , care, prolific, with spectacular views, 1 hour by train from Florence, to recommend and return.
This was a great trip since we only had a few days in Florence… both wineries were great, we went into San Gimignano for a quick bite of gelato and ended our day in Pisa. The price was great also for what all you got to do and see. Eduardo was great and very knowledgeable about the history in the different areas! His English was great so we had no problems understanding him. We highly recommend him! Thank you Eduardo for making this a truly unique and unforgettable day for our family!
Hello! We really appreciate your kind review and we are glad that you had a great time on your tour with Eduardo! It was a pleasure having you on tour and we hope to see you again soon!
