Sara was an amazing host. She arrived early and smiling right at our ship. She was knowledgable about the area and spoke perfect English. She was easy to talk with and made us laugh which always is a bonus. After the Pisa, She took us to a great family owned business for lunch that had the most amazing food! The only thing we didn’t like was the marble tour, getting there and finding out it wasn’t paid for. 15 more Euros for each of the 8 of us on the tour. We were happy to help out the community but we must have missed that part of the program that it was not included. She drove safe, and got us back to the ship on time.
Grazie! 😊
Seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person was an amazing sight. Our guide personalized our experience based on the weather conditions. Made a special trip to the best gelato!
Grazie!
This trip exceeded our expectations we gave our tour guide Silvia a general idea of what we would like to do and she customized a tour for us. She limited the amount of walking as we requested. We have a mixture of new experiences since shopping a nice lunch a little village near the quarry. She stopped to let us take photos when requested And answered all our questions about ye area. Going underneath the mountain to the marble quarry was definitely an experience not to miss.
