Poor service
Rude and unhelpful driver. Booking agency just collects its fee and then has nothing to do with the service.
T
Must do
It was amazing . Jonathan was great and enthusiastic. The wine tours were detailed and tasty . The weather was beautiful. My favorite was Casa Emma . Ended up with over 6 bottles of wine for home .

Confusing pick up arrival in Florence
The driver arrived on time and he was very helpful and very nice! But please update the pick up instructions there is no terminal C and the company (not the driver’s fault) need to update/fix pick up instructions. To meet at the tabacchi shop in the middle of the station. Or meet in front of venchi or any other landmarks. We ask the police, station employees, train line employees where was exit C and nobody knew about it.
Operator response
Dear Customer, thank you for your kind words for our driver; we understand and appreciate your commets, but you have to know that there are some work-in-progress inside our Santa Maria Novella train station and weoften have to amend our pick up instructions. We do really wish to thank you anyway for your suggestions: we always try to do our best to make our Customeras' experience as positive as possible. Looking forward to welcoming you again as Guest in Florence, Kind regards, Tiziana / Barocchi Srl
