They told us when booking this would be a private tour and we could create our own agenda. This was not true. We could not change the agenda. Very misleading aviator was looking for a sale. Our driver was good but had no idea what Viator had promised and was not able to accommodate
First of all, I want to thank you for the review. I have no idea who promised you a tour where you could customize the day to your liking, since you NEVER spoke to me! If you had sent me a message, we could have discussed it, since the tour is an 8-hour package from the port of Livorno to visit Pisa and Florence. That said, when the driver called and informed me of your request, I immediately took steps to find what you wanted: to see Tuscany. I managed to book a tasting for you that same day in less than 2 hours. The Lucca and Florence tour, as I explained to you over the phone, could be done, but it would have taken more driving time since the two cities are a bit further apart than the "original" trip. I'm happy to read that the driver did his job, but I'd say that more than a review of my business, this should have been a review of Viator, not of us, who, I sincerely hope, accommodated your request at the last minute.
This was one of the best vacation experience I have ever had. My family and friends went on a European cruise and one of our stops was Florence/Pisa. We had a fantastic time. I must confess that I was a bit apprehensive at first because I made the reservation from the U.S. with Stefano. However, I was extremely pleased with the service we received. I highly recommend anyone who would like a private tour to hire Stefano and his driver Mattia. The vehicle was a beautiful van that had more than enough space. The driver, Mattia, was personable and took really good care of us. Thanks Stefano and Mattia for a wonderful experience. If I'm ever back in Florence, I will definitely call you and recommend anyone to hire your service. A job well done!
I would avoid using this company we didn’t get anything we were promised we were lied to about getting tickets to climb the tower of Pisa we were told there were none available and there were hundreds available but they brought us there first and the tickets started at 12pm so we couldn’t go in we were also told the duomo was free to enter and it was not if we would have known this we could have bought tickets in advance basically your paying a ridiculous amount of money for a glorified taxi driver and Viator does nothing to protect its customers from providers like this beware
I would start by responding to your review with this question... If out of 75 reviews 74 are "top" and only 1 is "terrible", is there a question to ask? Does anyone think that threatening to give a bad review could make those who work do it for free, favoring the smart ones? That said, there were exchanges of phone calls and messages where I had already responded. But I care about the image of my company and therefore, seeing that falsehoods are said, I willingly reply. We are a PEOPLE TRANSPORT company and not a tour operator. Nobody promises or sells tickets to climb the leaning tower or to enter the cathedral. If we SUCCEED, we willingly help customers choose the best times. Requesting a reservation for the Leaning Tower of Pisa a few days before, in a high season period where others book months in advance is absolutely absurd, especially if you then expect to find the ticket (but we had tried anyway). When YOU went to the tower you found that they had free tickets because they partly keep them for those who go directly to buy them (therefore they cannot be sold or booked online) and partly they have empty spaces for those who did not show up. Regarding the cathedral of Florence, entry was free. But it's one thing to enter the cathedral, it's another thing to expect to go up to the parts reserved for those who, days if not months before, have reserved the ticket and paid for it. I repeat, all of this has already been said by me, first and foremost by phone, by my driver who tried to explain to you with great patience. But I remember well having answered on the phone that in addition to not being able to manage something that does NOT depend on us, I have never liked threats. I am happy that you will decide to avoid our company for your next transports in Italy and Europe, so you will save me from having to deny you service in the wrong way. And THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me the opportunity to respond publicly so that those who are truly interested in spending a day with a good driver, someone who advises, who can give help... with professionals who get paid to give the best service possible, now you know who to turn to. I hope you have good future travels but I recommend showing respect to those who work for you.
Our family took a Pisa/Florence tour from the port of Livorno where our cruise ship docked. Francesco was an incredible host for the day. Extremely flexible with our itinerary and gave great recommendations for what to see and where to go. We mentioned that we would have liked to taste some wine in Tuscany and he found a beautiful winery Castello Sonnino for us to stop at on the way back. Safe to say if and when we come back to Florence we will be calling Francesco for another tour!
We booked a last minute tour because our original one was cancelled with another company. They quickly confirmed this booking and customized our experience perfectly to our needs. Francesco was an amazing guide and drove us past all the major Florence sites as well as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. While in Florence, it was too hot out so we wished to leave the city and find a vineyard. Francesco arranged this quickly and professionally despite it being a Sunday, bringing us to a beautiful castle in the Tuscany countryside! I could not have asked for a better experience and I would recommend to anyone!
I was looking for a driver for me my mom and two children, and I found Mr. Stefano Favilli who very kindly responded to me even on a day of celebration. Yesterday 18/08/2020 sent us to pick up Claudia, a driver really good at professional driving in the work and very nice. Thank you thank you thank you....., I highly recommend you contact them if you need them, I will definitely keep them in mind for the future.
Cora was awesome. She gave us so much background history everywhere we went. Weather was not cooperating and Cora brought us umbrellas to use. She helped make sure that my father in law who was using a motorized scooter would be able to see the sights as well. She was wonderful. Don't hesitate to book with them.
Thank you very much, I am really happy to read that you were completely satisfied by the driver I chose for you, I was shure she will take care of your family! It was certainly a pleasure for us to have you as guests, hoping to see you as soon as possible and to be able to tell you something more about our Tuscany. Thank you for choosing us as a service that accompanied you throughout the day you spent here.
Our group of 14 friends were on a Mediterranean cruise wanted to visit Florence for one day while in port at Livorno. We were picked up at the port in two Mercedes vans as arranged, and our Driver / Guides Cora and Claudia were simply the best. Fluent in English, and very interested in the history of the region, these two provided our best one-day shore excursion experience ever. They drove us into the heart of Florence where we spent the day sightseeing and shopping, then picked us up again to take us back to the ship. On the return trip they took the time for a quick trip to the hear of Livorno where we were able to do a little shopping as well. Thank you Cora and Claudia for an excellent day!!
Thanks Fred, it was a pleasure for us to have you as guests, both Cora and Claudia told me they enjoyed your company and we hope to see you again in the future. We remain at your disposal for any travel you need, not only in Livorno but also in any place in Italy. Sincerely, Stefano
We visited Pisa and Florence with Cora.... Funny, sweet and amazing girl.... We visited Pisa just to take picture and we lived Florence longer.... She gave us all informations to know the city.... And we suggest Cora forever
Our guide Cora was amazing. Very engaging, knowledgeable and funny. Drove us right up to all the things we needed to see where regular cars cannot go. She recommended the most amazing place for lunch. She was on time getting us, very patient with us and left us in awe and happy. Thabk you Cora very much you are the best ❤❤❤
Hi, I'm really happy to see that you had a great experience with Cora. I am glad that the choice to choose my company was good on your part and we will be happy to have you again as customers next time. Thank you very much for trusting us.
