Our Florence & Pisa tour was fantastic! Chiara was an amazing guide—knowledgeable, caring, and exceptionally well organized. She shared fascinating information about the history and culture of the area while keeping everything running smoothly. The local food tasting was a wonderful addition to an already enjoyable day. We had a great experience and highly recommend this tour, especially with Chiara!

When we arrived at our meeting point we were told we didn’t have a ticket. We showed the gal many times our ticket so we went to another staff member and she said the same thing but said she would look into it because our phones certainly showed we had a ticket. We traveled with 4 other couples and they could not find any of us. Finally the girl found all our tickets our tickets under 1 name. Why that didn’t pop up when the person showed they our ticket we don’t know, but only 1 person there was willing to take the time to figure it out. All you do at the food tasting is have a glass of water or wine & a sandwich, which was good but you don’t really get to taste different foods. We walked to the shop for our sandwich & then was let loose, it was a challenge to find our way back to the bus.
They don't scan your ticket so they didn't know who we where to be with they finally called out just one of our names
This is a scam. This tour provider is using information and details belonging to another company, Shore Emotion, but they are not Shore Emotion. Please be aware and do not book. This does not appear to be a real excursion
We had an excellent time with our tour guide Ariana and bus driver Gabriel! Ariana was extremely knowledgeable about Florence and Pisa, and even had jokes for us during the long rides. We definitely recommend taking this tour, especially if you can do it with her.
The tour was a disaster. The tour company is not reliable and did not provide accurate information. The bus broke down on the way to Pisa. After a temporary repair was made, the bus broke down a second time on the way from Pisa to the next stop. The company did not explain what was wrong with the bus either time. The second time the bus had to stop in the middle of the road and police were called to direct traffic away from the bus. We were stuck on the bus for over two hours in heat over 90 F/ 30 C with no air condition because the bus was inoperable. The tour company initially offered to call two replacement buses so that anyone who did not want to continue with the tour could leave. However, after more than two hours only one bus came and we were not given the option to leave the tour as promised earlier. A taxi from Pisa to Florence would have cost over 150 EUR. We were delayed by over two hours for each of the stops. By the time we made it to the last stop it was after all the stores and activities closed. We paid $398.98 for two people. The tour company provided only a $100 refund. At minimum, a 50% refund should have been offered due to the two times the bus broke down and the dangerous conditions passengers were subjected to on the overheated bus parked in the middle of a busy road. The company should have given passengers the option to leave after the two hour delay and should have secured a second bus as it had promised earlier. We do not recommend this company.
Very cool tour of the cities of Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano, with attentive guides, Marta and Marco. Stop at Poggio Al Laghi for lunch with a taste of delicious wines!
Overall we liked everything that we got to see and do in this full day. Excellent attention and a lot of cordiality on the part of Erica and Mauricio. Also the meal at the Winery was nice and the Chianti wine tasting was a fun happening in the middle of the
I and my family was really amazed with the beauti if the Architecte. And regarding the tour i mast say it was well managed, but be sure to plan your trip to the meeting point well as it is located out of Milan center. As for the rest of the trip, rest assured that the guide will provide the best and most informative experience!
Thanks for your kind review
