Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 534anoukr0 contributionsToscanaFirst visit to Tuscany and an absolute hit. Jason was our tour guide and he kept us entertained throughout the entire trip. Always wanted to check out the different wineries and was not disappointed. We stayed in Florence and easy to find the Prestige Rent tent from our hotel. Visited San Vito and Villa Ilangi. Husband and I enjoyed them both very much. Wines were delicious and the experience was amazing. I would do it all over again. Thank you!Written November 30, 2024

- colleenw6670 contributionsA Highlight of Our Florence ExperienceWe chose to do this tour for our last full day in Florence and it could not have been more perfect. Leo was a wonderful guide, providing just enough he information and stories to be informative and entertaining without being overbearing. The construction of the tour was ideal, progressing from a small family owned organic vineyard through two other larger operations. The tour managed to feel personal and customized even with 25 random strangers. The amount of wine and food provided was perfect for the day and length. We all agreed this was money extremely well spent and are so glad we booked it!Written November 25, 2024
- adamlO8738FW0 contributionsA great deal, a great guide, and fantastic wineThe views at both wineries were fantastic, and Daniele was a great tour guide! Told us enough so that we understood the areas we were going to and the wines that we were going to taste but without talking constantly. The second winery looked like it had been designed out of our dream of what a Tuscan villa and winery should look like.Written November 25, 2024

- jasonpC4688OD0 contributionsWine Tasting YourMy wife and I were looking to visit Florence and decided to try the wine tasting tour. The tour started by loading up on the shuttle and heading to then vineyards. The ride in was entertaining as Jason gave us a little history along with asking questions and getting to know everyone a little bit. He was hilarious and very personable. Not everyone was as chatty but Nino got us there quickly and safely. Upon arrival we were given the tour of the wine cellars and shown where the wine was made and where the grapes and olives were grown. The entire time Jason was mixing in with everyone and sharing some laughs. All the wines, cheeses and olive oils were delightful. We had to purchase a few to share with our friends and family at home. We went to the second vineyard and again what a great time. The wine was delicious and the treats were tasty. The ride back we sang some karaoke and we were all now friends. Jason was an excellent tour guide and made the trip more enjoyable than others I had been on. When my wife and I return we will definitely try another tour requesting Jason as our guide as well as recommending to our family because we would want them to have an awesome experience like we had.Written November 20, 2024

I'm updating my review after the operator contacted me repeatedly and asked me to delete my original review.
Original:
Booked this tour 3 months in advance. Confirmed with tour operator 2 weeks in advance only to find out they never booked the Accademia/Uffizi gallery tickets OR the guide.
They told me the time frame where I could book tickets on my own. And to let them know and they would refund me the cost of the tickets. Only the cost of the tickets. I would have to book another tour for 3 hours of this 8 hour tour and be refunded approximatelly $70 euros. Out of $1537.77.
Replacing this tour last minute ended up costing a total of $1759 and was only managed through the help of 2 very kind tour operators.
Be aware of how this operator works before booking.
Update:
I was contacted 3 times in quick succession with long, emotional texts regarding removing my review. The employee said they were going to be fired if I did not remove it. That this was the first time they "forgot" to book tickets. Well, that was new since before they told me that the tickets were sold out for my date. I finally had to block their number.
Again, this operator never told me they were unable to secure tickets or a guide. I believe they were going to let me arrive that day and just be all, oops! Guess you don't get to see the main attractions you were coming to Florence for. Sorry.

Dear client,
We understand that you are upset because you did book this tour in advance, but you contacted us a month before the date of your excursion, not 2 weeks, and at that moment we realized that unfortunately, the option to reserve your tickets wasn’t put in our system, which was our fault, and we take full responsibility for.
When you did contact us, we immediately went to check for the tickets on all official channels (where we normally purchase tickets), but they were unfortunately sold out. When you contacted us via Viator, we informed you that firstly, we do not offer both Uffizi and Accademia tickets, it’s one or the other, and in your case you booked the Accademia only. Secondly, we informed you that we did have the guide for you. We also told you clearly that the tickets had been sold out on official channels, which is where we purchase our tickets, and that we would refund the price of the tickets but still provide the rest of the services which includes the guide. A similar situation happened one other time, and the client was fine securing their own tickets for the Accademia and we provided the rest. There were no issues with this at all with the other client, and we gave them all the support we could to secure the tickets and everything went smoothly. We were going to do the same with you, but you decided to cancel, and you received a full refund and had a month to search for a new tour.
I’m sorry you reacted so negatively to this situation, but we did communicate clearly with you, and provided solutions which you chose not to accept. We were always willing to help resolve this together, which we’ve done with another clients in the past, but you made your choice and I’m sorry the outcome was much more expensive for you. Nonetheless, I hope you had a wonderful time in Florence and enjoyed the Accademia!

Our driver, Leo Mero, was like hitting the jackpot!!! Not only was he a wealth of information on the two days we spent with him, but he had a wonderful command of the English language. Our first day with him was in Rome and were ecstatic to find out he would also be our driver in Florence. We had an engagement on our trip and Leo brought his guitar and serenaded us in the restaurant during lunch to make the day that much more special. We felt like we were leaving a friend behind when we boarded our cruise ship for the remainder of our trip. If you have the opportunity to request this wonderful man on your excursion, you will NOT be sorry!! I have already given his information to friends who will be touring in Italy soon because I want their trip to be as personal and special as ours

We travelled to Livorno on a cruise with a day for sight seeing, given so much to see and do in Pisa & Florence, we booked a private tour with Francesco picking us up from the cruise terminal. The pick up was straight-forward and Francesco was waiting for us at the terminal building immediately opposite our ship.
Unfortunately for us, it was raining for most of the day, but fortunately for us we had organised this tour thus was able to customise it to our preferences so we managed to stay dry for most part of the sight seeing.
Francesco was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the area thus was a pleasure to speak to and learn from his knowledge. He provided many suggestions for us to visit/ eat which we were able to benefit from especially due to the weather.

Our driver Leo met us promptly at the cruise ship in Livorno Italy, Our trip was to Florence and back thru Pisa. Leo was an outstanding driver, and had excellent knowledge of not only the history of the region but all of Italy. He recommend a very good restaurant in Florence where we had lunch. We even had time to stop and do some wine tasting in Tuscany area. There was 4 of us but the van could have held more, this excursion cost less than the one offered on the ship.

We booked this private tour knowing that we wanted to focus on Florence and get a flavor of Pisa. Francesco gave us a wonderful tour and is extremely knowledgeable of the area. We got a great overview of Florence and cannot wait to get back. We had the best lunch in Italy with his recommendation and also got an unexpected tour of the Tuscan countryside. He is a joy to speak with and a wonderful guide. This tour picked up our family of five from our cruise ship in the morning and delivered us back on time but did not waste any time. We cannot recommend him enough and cannot wait to get back to Florence!

We did a private day tour with Leo from Prestige Rent to Florence and Pisa and had such a wonderful day! Leo was so warm and friendly as well as knowledgeable and courteous - we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide/driver! He obviously has a passion for his job which really shows. I thoroughly recommend Leo and Prestige Rent!

We were on a cruise in July 2018 and decided to do a private tour from Livorno to Florence and Pisa. Prestige Rent was an outstanding choice. We were met promptly at the cruise port by Francesco. His vehicle was in great shape and was extremely clean. He was very knowledgeable and provided great information about the history of the area. The trip to Florence and Pisa was amazing and I would surely use this service again and also recommend it to others.
Thanks again Francesco!

Francesco picked us up in Livorno and drove our family of 7 adults through Florence, Pisa, and the surrounding region. Francesco was charming, informative, and very helpful, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, the sights were amazing. I would absolutely recommend this tour (and this driver) to anyone without hesitation.

Just walked off the ship and Leo was there waiting to take us to Florence and Pisa for the day. A really pleasant, friendly and informative guide. My parents are elderly and cannot walk far so Leo took us to Florence first to the viewing point and then dropped us in the centre of Florence. We were given a mobile phone to call him when we were ready to leave but to be no later that 3pm. We opted to be collected at 2:30 and went on to Pisa. Leo had great knowledge of the history of Tuscany and had excellent English. On arrival we were dropped right beside the Leaning tower and had only a few minutes of a walk. If you were to take the coach with the cruise line, the bus car park is a much longer walk at both destinations, so this was great for my parents. We were back at the cruise ship in good time and for less money that the cruise lines day trip it was definitely a great choice. I Would have no hesitation recommending Viator and if your lucky you will get Leo as your tour guide.

There are 12 in our group arriving ashore at 7 am from the Disney Magic on July 4, 2019. Is it possible to have a van that would accommodate our group? We would like a quick snap shot in front of the leaning tower and then spend the bulk of our time in Florence with your guide if possible and skip the line tickets. Thanks, Angela Bulloch-Patterson
