We really enjoyed our day visiting Cinque Terre. The tour was well organized, very professional, and the ride was comfortable. Everything was so beautiful! It was mid-November during our visit so some shops were closed for the season, but there were still plenty of things open and the crowds were smaller.

We have this trip with Beilaitalia trip. The view is the best, and both driver Curious and tour guide Laura are wonderful and professional. Thanks

This tour made for a very special day. Our fabulous driver brought us to small towns and wineries that we would never have thought to visit. Gave us a real sense of local history. Wineries were friendly and tasty!

My husband and I just returned from a month-long cruise this fall through the Mediterranean. We had been planning all summer and one place we really wanted to get the most out of was the hills of Tuscany. We did not want to take the cruise tour with busloads of people. We wanted a more personalized experience, easy access, and less chaos during the day. Also, wine tasting was high on our list of things to do, as well as visit the medieval towns and drive through the amazing countryside without rushing. After much reading of reviews, we settled on Bellaitaliatours for San Gimignano and Volterra with wine tasting. We are so happy we did. They provided us with excellent communication so we knew where we needed to be, who was picking us up, and what our itinerary would look like. Right on the dock of Livorno, at the exact specified time, we met Massimo, our driver. We feel we were so lucky to get Massimo for the day. He is so knowledgeable about the area and wine, having been born and currently living in a nearby historic town. He was also a sommelier and an expert on olive oil production! He provided wonderful history and tales of the places we passed through and the towns we visited. He was fun to talk to and his English was excellent. Before we entered each town, he gave us a map, and suggestions as to what to see, do and eat. Our last stop was on to Fattoria di Pancole winery where we met the owner who was so kind and hospitable. The wines, especially the Baracca 1903 and Dogato reds, were amazing. We would love to go back, because when we toured around the grounds, we saw they were also a resort with a beautiful swimming pool and 8 apartments to rent! So close to San Gimignano too! The ride back to the ship was so relaxing, because we knew and trusted Massimo would get us there with time to spare, and he did! I highly recommend Bellaitaliatours, and especially Massimo. You will have an amazing time!

I highly recommend this tour if you want to experience Tuscany. Massimo ensured we had the experience of a lifetime. His knowledge of the area, good sense of humor, professional manner all made it a memorable experience for us and he went out of his way to customize the tour to our needs and interests. We joined him on the tour as a professional tour guide and left him as a friend. We look forward seeing him again on our next visit to the area.

Private driver and tour guide for full day trip from the cruise ship docked in Livorno to Cinque Terre (4 passengers). What a great day - exactly as planned. Our driver Massimo was waiting for us on the wharf. Massimo was very friendly and a fountain of knowledge. We picked up our tour guide Romina along the way and were dropped off in the first town along the Cinque Terre coast. We spent the day travelling by ferry from town to town. Romina was fantastic - she handled all the ferry ticketing, filled us in on the local knowledge and gave us plenty of free time to immerse ourselves into the local culture. We were met in the last town by our driver Massimo who returned us back to our a ship. A private tour is definitely the way to go. Thanks to Massimo, Romina and all BellaItaliatour staff for helping plan our tour and ensuring we had a fantastic day. Keep up the good work.

We had a wonderful day with our driver Stefano, and our guide Luca. We found the booking process to be easy and efficient and they were always responsive to my emails. Stefano was waiting in the port o time to pick us up. He did a great job driving approximately 90 minutes to Cinque Terre. He was so friendly and easy to talk to. Luca was waiting on our arrival and did a super job guiding us through 4 of the 5 villages - a lot for one day! He knew the hidden spots and best photo spots. He knew many people in the villages and there were lots of friendly greetings along the way. He managed our train and boat tickets with ease which made it so much easier for us to move about. This is especially important for people who are not confident to do this themselves. We really appreciated a good use of the time to help us see the most that we could in one day. When our time at the villages ended, Stefano was waiting for us to make the drive back to the ship. He even had water bottles waiting in our seats. We are so happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend BellaItalia for your tours. Grazie!

It wasn’t the greatest weather day, but we had a wonderful visit at 4 of the Cinque Terre towns by ferry. We travelled from Livorno in a comfortable mini van. Timing was always spot on and Luigi made sure we were front of the line on the ferries. It is a very busy tour, but even though it was my 3rd time visiting the towns, so worth it!!! Luigi and his trainee and driver did a fabulous job. Remember to check their “Small Group” shore excursions menu if you’re just a couple. Thank you BellaItalia!

We were on the Norwegian Epic & stopped in Livorno. We were a group of 14, ranging in age from 16 to 80. Emilia & Luigi were our private guides for the day. We had two comfortable minivans. We first went to Pisa to see the tower, and then went to Cinque Terre. It was amazing - well-organized & fun. Emilia handled 5 teenagers with ease! The drivers were great as well. I loved being able to customize it to exactly what we wanted, with their input. The office staff was great as well. We really enjoyed our tour.

BellaItalia worked with us to design a tour that included two wineries and a visit to San Gimignano. The driver, Massimo, picked us up from our ship in Livorno at 9 AM and hurried to make sure we made it back by 5 PM. In between, he shared with us his love of his country and the region. San Gimignano was a gem with its the beautifully preserved character. We allowed Bella Italia to pick two wineries and were not at all disappointed. We came away with a wonderful appreciate of the signature wine of the region, Chianti Classico, and their olive oil. This day and this tour stood out as the best of our trek through Europe. We cannot recommend Bella Italia enough.

Our Tuscany wine tour was the highlight of our vacation. We shared the experience with another couple on our cruise ship, and it was one of the best experiences we had on an amazing vacation. Our tour guide was waiting for us upon arrival, and whisked us away in an air conditioned van to San Gemignani. Fun and informative, we made our way through the countryside for some of the best Gelato on our entire trip. But the wineries (and food) were the real experience. Our first stop couldn't have been more perfect - a private wine tasting and meal cooked on a small family winery. You have to save room, because the cellar wine tour on the 2nd stop ends with even more tasty treats and more amazing wine. If you are looking for a private wine tour from Livorno - this is it.

We arrived on the NCL Epic. Wanting to have some control over our time rather than the cruise tours, we decided on using BellaItalia. This turned out to be a GREAT decision! A minivan with driver was booked for the day to transport 6 adults. The driver was excellent and provided fun and interesting information as we made the drive from the port to Florence. He even shared jis favorite gelato spot and coffee spot, both of which added fun to our day. Our driver and van were easy to find as we entered the port building. The van was a recent model Mercedes in very good shape making for a comfortable drive. BellaItalia arranged for our museum tickets in advance and all went smoothly. We made changes to our schedule through the day as distractions made for some enjoyable opportunities. Having a private driver made this possible. We HIGHLY recommend BellaItalia and will use them each time we are near Florence. Thank you to the entire staff at BellaItalia for a wonderful experience.

We pre booked this tour with another 2 couples for our 1 day in Liverno from our Mediterranean Cruise. Our driver Danielle & our guide Rosella were waiting upon our arrival. Rosella was really great. Very friendly, knowledgeable & accommodating. She took care of getting all our train/ferry tickets and showing us the main attractions & pointing us in the direction to explore some on our own. Would definitely recommend this to maximize you time & see the main attractions.

My wife and I loved hopping from port to port on the ferries and seeing these incredible towns tucked into the steep hillsides. Just a real relaxing way to see these sights. It really was like stepping back in time, so cool. Our tour guide Luca was awesome. He was informative, patient and made sure to answer any questions we had, while keeping us on a reasonable pace so we could enjoy the day. We would absolutely do this again. Oh, and had the best food of our trip in the last stop. Wow!

We arranged a personal tour of the Chianti Classico region with two wineries, lunch, and a visit to San Gimignano. Our tour driver was Massimo. He met us at the disembarkation point of our ship (since he is licensed to enter the Livorno Pier). Massimo is a true gentleman, very informative, and has a great sense of humor. As a trained Sommelier, he is passionate about excellent wine and the Tuscany/Chianti Classico region. We visited two excellent family owned wineries that are not accessible by the large tour bus wine tours the ship arranges. Our favorite winery was Casa Sola. Maria took us on a tour of the winery and vineyards, explained the organic-biodynamic methods the winery embraces, and the painstaking process to make excellent wine. The winery prepared a wonderful lunch that was advertised as "light", but included cheese and meats, salad, bread and winery made olive oil, and lasagna. The wine and olive oil were so good, we arranged for the winery to ship 2 cases to our home in the U.S. San Gimignano is a gem of a walled village. We would love to return. I would not hesitate to book a tour through BellaItalia Tours. There is good reason they are rated #1.
