- Dream5624550 contributionsGreat tours of wineriesWe enjoyed the wine tours and the lovely meal overlooking the valley. We didn’t get much free time and that was a disappointment.Written July 9, 2024
- karenoM8978RB0 contributionsPrivate, exceptional, romantic, fun!This tour was private, friendly, delicious and tons of fun! We went to 2 small villages to stroll and shop, then we went to a family owned small vineyard for wine tasting and food pairing. We had a private table, exceptional service and wine and food to die for!!! Marco made sure we knew where we going, took great care of us, and let us have time to explore on our own. This was so much fun, and gave us alone time to enjoy our delicious and romantic wine and food! A perfect day. Thank you , Marco. He made it all very special!Written June 25, 2024
- pconi0 contributionsTrip of a lifetimeMarco was amazing. He took us to Assisi and to the town my father-in-law was born in Costacciaro. He was very friendly and kind. He even made a phone call to a jewelry store in Florence and requested if they could stay open a little bit longer so we would have time to do some shopping upon our return back. Thank you so much Marco for keeping our family safe during our most amazing trip and also making it a very enjoyable one. I highly recommend him. Until we meet againWritten June 23, 2024
- BackPacker7391770 contributionsTuscany funMarco was easy to communicate with when I was arranging a group trip. Very kind, prompt, patient and has a sense of humor. Great guy! Very professional.Written June 17, 2024
- Y2667WPserenal0 contributionsMarco Rocks!!!Marco was highly professional, kind and respectful, very punctual, flexible and truly wants his clients to enjoy their time with him. Great conversationalist, loaded with informational about Italy!! We spent two full days with Marco and will book him again for sure!Written June 7, 2024
- melissapP1190ON0 contributionsA MUST do Day Trip just outside of FlorenceWe wish we could give 10 stars! Wow what a beautiful day trip to take to gorgeous Tuscany wine country and the stunning San Gimignano. Marco, our driver and tour guide was incredible. We stopped at Casa Emma for a wine tasting and lunch that was delicious and priced so well!Written May 23, 2024
- alyssamma0 contributionsVery professionalThe couple we were going with had passport problems and could not get here in time so we had to cancel. But before and after Marco was EXTREMELY professional, communicated quickly, and took time to explain things to us. If we return we would not hesitate to use him again.Written April 21, 2024
- Compass4381280 contributionsAmazing day!!!We had a FANTASTIC a day with Marco! He was so kind and patient and created an interesting and fun day for us and the kids as well. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Italian culture and history which made our excursion that much more interesting. Highly recommend this experience!!!Written April 18, 2024
- U5542DUjeanettew0 contributionsDon’t miss out on Tuscany!We had the most amazing day in Siena and San Gimignano!! Marco, our driver was knowledgeable, kind and helpful. It was so nice to not worry about transportation and also get a tour guide to teach you about the region. Highly recommend!!!Written April 2, 2024
- 357hillaryl0 contributionsAn Excellent Day!Marco was a magnificent tour guide and driver for our family to enjoy Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena. He arranged a private wine tour and lunch at a beautiful winery. His timing was impeccable and his suggestions for what to see and do at each location were spot on. This is an excellent way to capture a full experience of the region! Highly recommended.Written February 26, 2024
- Camilla C0 contributionsInformative, fun, good valueMarco was super responsive when I first contacted him from the US. He suggested places for us to stop for pics and also made reservations. In the end, it was a wonderful day trip leaving Florence, hitting San Gim and Siena. We never felt rushed and he was great company. Totally worth the cost to spend a day in Tuscany off the tourist path.Written February 21, 2024
- Dream262474277760 contributionsFantastic mix of vineyard visits and beautiful countryside viewsMarco was a consummate pro during our trip from Florence into Tuscany. He had the day planned out end to end for us, with several great stops along the way, as well as giving us context and history along the way. The stop in San Gimignano was great - despite being a small town, it was more than easy to fill up an hour walking around the small streets, taking in the views and climbing the massive tower. The Chianti vineyards were great and the entire experience was a truly "Italian" one.Written February 2, 2024
- SimonPickles0 contributionsGreat tour to experience TuscanyWe had a fantastic tour with Marco a couple of weeks ago, he gave us some interesting information about each area, and of course is a great driver and prompt with pick-up/drop-offs. We highly recommend this tour as a good way to take the family (teenager and almost-teen) to experience a little of each area; Siena, San Gimignano and instead of a winery visit he took us to Monteriggioni. Marco also booked lunch for us at a very nice restaurant in Siena. We had not had a private tour before and although it was a little indulgent as a family, it was very worth it.Written January 26, 2024
- Mark S0 contributionsFirst class driverMarco took us on a day trip from Florence to Sienna and San Gimignano . He is an excellent driver and has a great knowledge of the history of the area. Marco was very friendly and we had a wonderful day trip. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driver in this area.Written December 16, 2023
- Carl D0 contributionsMarco Modesti is THE BEST!We have hired Marco for our family visits twice now in Florence and wouldn’t even think of working with anybody else. He is super personable, extremely knowledgeable and easy to get along with. As a local he knows all the cool places, the hidden haunts, restaurants and wineries. We’ve done all of the above including cooking classes and Marco always sets that up for us too and finds great venues and people to work with. He has honestly become a friend to our family and I hope when he and his family visit Laguna Beach CA one day soon that we can entertain him there! Hire Marco he is truly unique and a special guy!Written November 21, 2023

This private winery tour was the absolute highlight of our honeymoon!
From the point of booking and until we concluded our tour of the Tuscan Wine region, the experience was second to none and I would highly recommend it to anyone who visits the Florence area.
Leading us through this experience was the wonderful Marco! Marco answered our inquiry, helped us build an itinerary, and was an absolute pleasure to have as a guide as we visited a couple of Tuscan Wineries. He is very communicative, helpful, polite, and especially knowledgeable about the city of Florence and the Tuscan wine region. My wife and I could not have gotten luckier to have Marco guide us through an area he calls home.
I rate the experience a 10 out of 10, but Marco is most definitely a 20 out of 10. Please do yourself a favor and book an experience with Marco!

We hired Marco to drive us from our spot in Florence to a few wineries we had selected near Siena. Although we didn’t hire him for a tour, he was an amazing tour guide on top of being a great professional driver. He made a few stops along the way to make our day even more memorable with some sightseeing, and he has so much knowledge of the city and different regions. After only a few hours spent with him in his vehicle, we can only say amazing things about him. He is professional, punctual, kind, and genuine. He will certainly be getting our business for all future trips to Italy & we will recommend him to all family and friends visiting the city. We look forward to riding with him again in the future!

Marco was excellent. He was very fast to respond, friendly, and he provided great service. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants a highly personalized and quality trip. He even took a detour to help us buy extra wine when we asked for alternatives. If you are using a private driver in Tuscany, Marco is the man to call!!

Marco is the best! He was on time and great at prompt communication, had wonderful english, and took us to thoughtful and personalized locations. All three locations were amazing, off the beaten path, and complementary. He even mentioned my mother’s birthday to a winery which then prepared a special surprise lunch. Thank you Marco!

Wow! Marco was just the best guide to take us around beautiful Tuscany for the day. He was on time, friendly, professional and very informative about all things Florence and the Tuscan region. My family (2 adults and x2 kids 10&12 years) spent the day exploring x3 Tuscan wineries, had a Gelato stop and a quick stop to admire the amazing Florence landscape. Marco’s van was perfect for our Tuscan adventure. It was clean and provided us with cool air conditioning to ward off the 37degree heat outside. If you’re in need of a friendly and professional driver, to take your around Florence and Tuscany book Marco is your man! Grazie Marco!

Our day spent with Marco was the perfect way to end our honeymoon in Italy. We are big wine lovers and knew we wanted to check out as much as we could and this trip was absolutely perfect. Each stop was better than the next! Marco was very responsive and perfectly on time to pick us up. He is SO incredibly knowledgeable about Tuscany, wines and Italian culture in general. He brought us to 3 wonderul wineries and when we mentioned to him we were hoping to stop at small shop for some meats and cheeses to bring back to our hotel he knew exactly where to bring us and pointed out the best options the store had to offer us! It was the perfect day spent exporing Chianti with the perfect guide. We will absolutely use Marco when we return to Italy for more of his tours!!

It was our first time to Florence Italy. We booked a private driver, Marco Modesti, ahead of time, to tour parts of Tuscany. He was excellent!!
He took us to San Gimignano, where we were able to walk around and explore the beautiful views of this medevil hill town. We had a private scheduled luncheon and wine tasting at Fattoria Sant’ Appiano Catina. After the luncheon, he drove us to different sites around the region with spectacular views overlooking Florence. He also stopped at Antonori winery, which is one of our favorites! We highly recommend Marco as a private driver and would definitely use him again if we have the opportunity to go back to Florence Italy!
