Our day with Raffaelle was absolutely fabulous from beginning to end! He personally picked us up right at the cruise port, which made the entire day feel effortless and incredibly well organized from the moment we stepped off the ship.
We started with beautiful Lucca, where we were able to experience the charm and history of the city without feeling rushed. From there, he took us to a small, family-owned, old-school vineyard that was one of the highlights of our entire trip. It felt authentic, intimate, and like we were getting to experience a genuine piece of Tuscany rather than a typical tourist stop. The setting, the family atmosphere, and the wine made it such a memorable experience.
We then continued on to Pisa, where he made sure we had plenty of time to get the perfect photos with the Leaning Tower before heading back toward the ship. He knew exactly how to make the most of our time while still allowing us to enjoy each place along the way.
What really stood out was how personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating he was. He made us feel like we were spending the day with a friend who happened to know all the best places, rather than simply being on a tour. He took care of the details, kept us on schedule, and made the entire day relaxed and enjoyable.
If you are visiting the area on a cruise and want to see Lucca, experience a truly special family vineyard, and visit Pisa, I would highly recommend booking this tour. It was one of our favorite days of the trip, and we left with wonderful memories and some incredible photos.

Highly recommend
This was fantastic way to see Lucca, which seem a little different than the ordinary trip to Pisa and Florence. I wouldn’t change a thing! We had more of a personal experience and got to feel more of a local vibe! Raffael was amazing! If I could give him 10 stars , I would!

5 stars!
We loved Rafael! This was our favorite tour of our vacation. Didn't know much about Lucca, now I would go back anytime. The city was charming and beautiful, but not overrun by tourists. Winery was quaint and beautiful. Pisa was a zoo, glad we saw it, but wouldn't spend a lot of time there. Rafael had is well prepared. Van was very comfortable and pickup and drop-off were flawless. We hope to come back and take another tour with Rafael.

Magical day in Tuscany for personalized cruise excursion
Tomasso our guide was fantastic. He created such a welcoming experience in the van and was so attentive to our wants and needs. He changed our itinerary less than 24 hours before and gave us the opportunity to see two magnificent wineries. He gave great information and shared about his beloved Lucca. It was a fantastic day with Tomasso and I highly recommend this excursion, especially those on a cruise from Livorno.

Lucca, Pisa and winery
Marco arrived on time and was fully prepared to start our tour. He explained the area and it's historical significance. Our first stop was the town of Lucca - it was lovely and would highly recommend it. Marco was very helpful giving us suggestions for our time there. Next we visited a small family run winery. We had a really nice experience there. Our final stop was Pisa - we did the tourist thing there ( take pictures) and then on our way back to the ship. I would definitely use this company the next time I visit the area.

Tomasso made our day "authentic and chill". He was very knowlegable and kept it entertaining as well. The winery stop was a very special stop! the food, wine, people and location were spectacular. This is a great local tour supporting authentic locals.

Lucca, Winery and Pisa Tour
We had amazing day touring Lucca and stopping at a local family winery for a tour, wine tasting and lunch. Amazing views , tour guides Rafaelli and Tomaso gave a lot of historical information. The last stop in Pisa to see the leaning tower was very nice. I definitely would recommend this tour.

Great Winery, only a fair tour of Lucca which was a wonderful city
Lucca is charming. Wish the driver had shared more information while we were driving about the area and history. Once in Lucca, after a brief talk we were on our own. Disappointed in that lack of information provided. The winery stop and wine tasting was fantastic, wonderful setting and family story, the wines and snacks were generous and very good. Perhaps another driver would do a better job.

Ciao Josephine,
Thanks so much for your review :)
We always do a driving tour inside and give all the history and informations we know about our city, I am so sorry you felt not satisfied about it.
Unfortunately, with the cruise tours the time is not so much.
I really wish you can come back to our beautiful city to show you more deeply all our beauties!
