Great tour, Giovanni is the best tour guide, extremely knowledgeable about all of it, need more time in Pisa!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the views of Florence and Pisa and had a great experience on the tour. We hope to welcome you again for another tour!
Gianni was an excellent guide who made my family and I feel like we were part of his family. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and also the areas we drove past on the way. Our driver Nufel was a safe driver and got us to and from the cruise port on time. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are in La Spezia and want to visit Florence and Pisa.
Dear customer, thank you very much ! it is a pleasure to know that he liked the tour and the professionalism of our tour leader, Gianni, and our driver Nufel. Best regards, Tantitours
Excellent guide Johnny (Gianni). It is all very fast all because it barely gives the time for the distance to travel by bus. But the excellent guide!
Querida Yahaira, mil gracis por su comentario. Nos alegramos de que haya disfrutado del servicio y la profesionalidad de Gianni
Gianni was excellent. Myself and 3 friends were contemplating going by train by ourselves, but after discussing with Gianni and the tantitours, we thought it would be the better option. We're glad we decided to do this, couldn't recommend Gianni more.
we are glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you so much for choosing us and for the nice words expressed about Gianni, one of our best tour leaders. Best regards, Tantitours
Johnny and Gianni were fantastic. Johnny who takes great pride and care making sure everyone on the bus is safe and secure during the journey. His knowledge of the Italian history and arts is impeccable. You will greatly appreciate your trip and the quality of the information that will help you understand why Italy is Italy. Florence was very nice and had the very best Carbonara I’ve ever had. This is a 5 star tour with individuals who truly care about what they do. Thank you Jonny and Gianni!! Sincerely :-D, Mike - 007 ( Austin Martin and James Bond in the beginning of the movie )
Dear customer, thank you very much ! it is a pleasure to know that he liked the tour and the professionalism of our tour leader, Gianni, and our driver!!
Gianni was a terrific tour guide and the bus driver was so great as well! He provided guests with some great facts and geography lessons, along with giving us time to walk around and explore on our own. We unfortunately experienced a tire blowout on the bus which caused us to be stuck on the highway for a bit. Gianni and the bus driver made some calls and were able to get us on another bus thank the Lord! Gianni notified our cruise ship on what had happened as we were a larger group of 54 (I think) and ensured that we would be able to get back on the ship. Gianni and the bus driver handled the situation extremely efficiently and professionally despite these unforeseen circumstances 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Florence and Pisa!!
Beautiful experience. Booking with you is convenient and I also feel protected because you have an office inside the terminal and you are sure not to miss the ship. There are also other abusive vendors outside the terminal, at a lower price, but they are often stopped by the police for checks, because they are not regular and you risk losing your boarding.
