We had a great time with our tour group. Dina was an excelent tour guide - she was friendly, helpful and very informative.
Max, Antonella & Alisandra were fantastic. The tour was lots of fun and educational. It was money well spent.
This was an awesome experience! Ali and Massimo went above and beyond to ensure our trip experience to Florence and Pisa are exceptional. We booked a small group tour but lucked out because we were the only ones. Ali is an awesome photographer and is very knowledgeable of the history of Italy. We enjoyed our day trip very much! It’s worth every penny! So if you’re on the fence about doing it, I’d say just do it! Thank you Ali and Massimo!
It was a very nice personalized tour, the driver Roberto and Max were very kind and attentive, the service was excellent and of high quality.
The driver and guide were right on time. Max and Ali began our day with a wonderful greeting. The sites we visited were amazing. All admissions were taken care of. The team, including an additional guide for Florence, were all very knowledgeable. The guide stayed on schedule, yet we never felt rushed. The guide & driver were very personable; they were attentive to our needs; whether it was for food, breaks,., etc., etc., They were great ambassadors for anyone visiting Italy.
It was such a wonderful trip! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our tour guide, Simone is wonderful as always! He never forgets to remind us of our belongings and always made sure we felt safe and comfortable. Massimo, our driver, is such a pro and always a gentleman..
Another excellent tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was very informative, I learned a lot and now have a better appreciation for art 😊 Florence has so much to see and do, definitely worth another trip.

He was wonderful! ⭐️ Our driver today was Massimo, again, always happy to have him as our driver as this is our second time with him 😊 Our tour guide, Simone, amazing as always ❤️ All of our tours with him are very memorable.
