About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- LE0LI0N550 contributionsSo many great places in 1 day!Gaia & Titiana did a good job trying to keep 70 tourists on time, but there were obviously some delays and a few people were left behind at some stops. It was also really unpleasant to have obviously sick people in our massive group. Coughing, sneezing & blowing their noses most of the day on an enclosed bus...did the pandemic teach them nothing?! Try to pick seats near the very front or back of the bus to limit your "exposure" since you're discouraged from switching after each stop. Anyways, Siena is a lovely town and the duomo is top notch! The toilet there is not efficient, though, so head back to the beautiful town piazza, grab a tea or pastry & use the café's "Water Closet/WC". The winery was great and entertaining, but staff struggled to get the dietary meals to the right people. Ordering bottles from this place will also set you back quite a bit. San Gimignano is pretty cool...and gets you into the medieval mindset. Pisa and the surrounding buildings are incredible. The lawn/grass was being turned over for the winter, so we didn't get the full effect, but it is still quite impressive. I recommend this tour!Written October 13, 2024
- Pintea C0 contributionsGems of TuscanyThe staff was taken care of our needs and give interesting explanation about the places that we visited. Amazing team and organisationWritten October 13, 2024
- Colin2200 contributionsOk but nothing specialThe trip was ok, but it was basically a one hour guided tour in Pisa and a one hour guided tour in Lucca with transport in between. There was no narrative on the coach while we were travelling, which was a shame as there is so much history here. Overpriced for what it was.Written October 13, 2024
- DwightAnita E0 contributionsScent of the seaWe recently had the pleasure of taking this tour with Sara (No H). Sara was efficient, personable and knowledgeable. Her instructions were clear concise and easy to follow. She was a joy to spend the day with. We would recommend this tour as a great introduction to the area.Written October 13, 2024
- jval20140 contributionsTour was good, just wish we had more time in PisaWe did this tour from Florence. The tour itself was great and tour guide was knowledgeable. We opted to climb the steps up the tower (251 steps, not bad at all), but in doing that, that was the free time to roam around on your own. I wish we had even an hour to walk around and take more pictures. I would recommend going up and climbing up the tower though, cool thing to do - and this ticket was a timed ticket so you did not have to wait in a line. Make sure you have breakfast/coffee prior to departing, as they don't provide anything and you aren't allowed to have food or coffee on the bus. Did stop once prior to arrival to Pisa for bathrooms.Written October 12, 2024
- rukhsaanas0 contributionsMehWay more basic than expected. The host was not as described “master perfumer”! She was lovely but a basic apprentice and the class was not very educationalWritten October 11, 2024
- joanjA1297RZ0 contributionsTour of TuscanySee much of Italy in one day. Comfortable bus took us to Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. Lovely lunch and wine tasting at a vineyard. Roberto kept us organized and informed all day while Antonio navigated the drive with skill and experience. Lovely day!Written October 11, 2024
- 603deer0 contributionsTake the tour-make some memories!This is a great trip to get away from the hustle and bustle of Florence (but tourists love these places too) Roberto was a great guide, giving us the right amount of information while we were on the bus, while allowing some quiet time for rests on longer drives. It is a Full day- over 12 hours. We met at 7:25 am and returned to Florence after 8:00 pm. But you see a LOT. The wine lunch was good with good food and generous pours and extra tastes. They are able to accommodate special dietary needs. Thanks to Antonio for navigating the small town roads to get us to our destinations safely. Take the tour-make some memories!Written October 11, 2024
- heathercT8595WC0 contributionsEasy to work with and a fun dayWe had a mistake on our travel agents booking to place us with a tour in a language we did not speak. The employees were fast at making sure we had a seat on the same tour but in our language. We had a wonderful time. Our guide Roberto was friendly and great at explaining all the city details and Antonio was a smooth driver. We highly recommend this tour to our friends and family.Written October 11, 2024
- shadend20240 contributionsBest All Day Italy TourIt was a great all day tour visiting 3 major cities in Italy including a wine tour dinner. Our driver Anthony I was great. And the host Roberto was also amazing. They were very helpful with explaining everything as went on the tour! I would definitely recommend going with them.Written October 11, 2024
- 776eddiev0 contributionsWholeheartedly RecommendI was honestly surprised by how great this experience was while around half the price of similar others I was considering, and ended up being a highlight of our trip. The Chef Matteo was more than friendly, a fun great guy, not only did he show us how to make everything but took care to explain why as we went along.Written October 11, 2024
- 160laurie0 contributionsDuomo hard to hear and understandThe Duomo is an amazing place to visit but unfortunately we had an extremely hard time understanding our guide as her microphone kept getting interference and she had a speech impediment that made it extremely hard to understand her. I tried to make suggestions to help but it never really got any better. Also the “optional dome climb” was completely deceiving as I thought it was included in our tour. Then when I asked our guide, she had absolutely no information to help us figure whether it was included or not.Written October 10, 2024
- K873IHmariag0 contributionsFlorence and Pisa in one dayVery nice. Our tour guide Sabrina and our bus driver David were fantastic. Thank you I recommend this tour if you are in a cruise in LivornoWritten October 9, 2024
- matt-sj-s0 contributionsExcellent cooking class in the centre of FlorenceThis was such a fun way to spend some time in Florence! Chef Stefano was brilliant (and was very patient with all the questions from some of the North Americans in the group). You learn how to make pasta dough from scratch and turn it into beautiful fresh hand-cut pasta. While the dough rests you also create an excellent tiramisu from the initial ingredients. The chefs cook the sauces but explain everything as they go, and this was probably the best bolognese sauce I’ve ever tasted (even as someone who has cooked it myself many many times). Ciao Florence were fantastic and we’d certainly book one of their experiences again 👍Written October 9, 2024
- vinni4560 contributionsExceeded expectations.Shore Emotion did a great job. Elena was in direct contact before and during the trip and Beatrice the tour guild was wonderful with her commentary and her humor. It was well organized and everyone knew what to do and where to meet. It exceeded expectations.Written October 9, 2024

We did Cinque Terre with Valentin one day and Tuscany with Christian another day. Both drivers were knowledgeable of the areas we visited and eager to ensure we had a great time.
Do yourself a favor and avoid the big tour bus tours and book private tours. Your experiences will be so much more special. And do yourself a favor and listen to your tour drivers. We are so glad we did. Their advice about our two tours made them absolutely cherished lifetime memories. Exactly the kind of memories you want to take home with you when you leave this beautiful country.

You will not regret booking this tour! Ask for Placido, he was an amazing tour guide, knowledgeable of the area, and kept us laughing the whole time. We did not realize our tour was booked the day before the horse races of Siena, so he got us right in the middle of town before the roads were closed. Afterwards, he drove us through the Chianti wine country and took us to the most amazing winery. This was the highlight of our trip! The winery staff greeted us when we arrived and gave us a brief tour of their facility before walking us up to our lunch table. There we were amazed at the most fantastic view of the Chianti wine country. We felt like we were in a movie. The meal was delicious and the wine tasting was excellent. We are not wine experts by any means, but our sommelier made us feel like friends. Afterwards we took our time getting back to Florence, stopping at a few castles then closed with a stop at a vista overlooking Florence. Placido is one of the best tour guides we have experienced. Thanks Placido if you are reading this!

We highly recommend their services to others. The team was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We definitely would use their services again!
We had a great experience with our day trip. Constantino (tour guide) was very informative and professional. Our driver Orlando got us safely and on-time to our destinations.
Above all the company was also able to figure out the logistical issue at the day of the trip and made adjustments to accommodate our originally booked plan. Thank you.

One of the highlights of our two-week trip! Along with the medieval town, we particularly enjoyed one of the smaller wineries that was family owned and personable. Our driver was superbly professional, always concerned about us having a good time. He gave excellent recommendations, and I swear he knew every nook and cranny of the roads. The Mercedes S car was a surprising delight in its luxury. Finally, the Ciao Florence supporting team was extremely helpful and accommodating our requests on extending time in the Chianti region. All in all amazing experience that I'd recommend

My husband and I went on a private Tuscany wine tour and it was absolutely incredible. Christian was our tour leader and he explained what the day was going to consist of, told us so much history about the area itself, was so easy for us to talk to and he got us to our locations very safe. He was very organized and had several ideas on different vineyards and we feel that he chose amazing ones. My husband and I feel that this was such an amazing experience and our favorite part of our trip, cannot recommend this tour and having Christian as our tour leader enough - thank you for an amazing day!

Highlight of the trip and Cristian was fantastic. Would definitely do the private tour over the big bus tours. It is so much more intimate and gives you a chance to see smaller vineyards. Cristian was prompt, friendly, and really informative. Would definitely do this again.

My family and I had an amazing experience with Cristian as our tour leader. He helped our family with recommendations and knew the perfect spots to get the best out of your time in each city. He was super knowledgeable about the region and the country as a whole. Cristian answered every question we had and would also point out and give you historical facts on specific architecture, landscapes, etc… 10/10 would do another tour with Cristian!

Our family had Christian for an 8 hour private tour and had the BEST day! He was so personable, funny, knowledgeable, entertaining and gave us the best experience. We started in Siena with a walking tour. We requested going to a more local winery/wine boutique and he brought us to Corbucci which was such a highlight. Then we went to our lunch and wine tasting in the country side. It was amazing and Christian made sure we had enough time for pictures and views. Then we stopped in San Gimignano. This was amazing. Christian also brought us to a great viewpoint of Florence on our way back to the hotel. He was so great and made our day. Easily our best day in Italy so far! We will be recommending him and this tour to family and friends and will look to have him again if we are fortunate enough to come back!
