We had a wonderful day, Simone Franco was wonderful and he made our day perfect. Simone went above and beyond and gave us a great overview of Florence and Pisa.
Our tour of Pisa and Florence was amazing. Pickup and drop-off from the cruise terminal were efficient and punctual, making the day completely stress-free. Our driver and guide, Matteo, was friendly, informative, and an excellent guide throughout. Highly recommended.
Excellent tour. This is not an easy one from La Spezia. It is 2 hours from there to Florence however our driver was very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. We had a great time with our 4 kids.
We had the pleasure of riding with Matteo for our trip. Here planned evening perfectly for a cruise day, we got to see the highlights of Florence and Pisa. Highly recommend.
Our private tour to Pisa and Florence was a wonderful day. Simone was an exceptional tour guide-very friendly and knowledgeable. After visiting Pisa, we had a beautiful drive through the Tuscan countryside to Florence where Simone allowed for both sightseeing and free time. We highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to have Simone as your guide, you will have a truly lovely experience.
