        Professional and prompt
        We booked a transfer from La Spezia Port to Florence and back. The drive was lass than 2 hrs each way and we had ample time to explore and have lunch before heading back to the ship. The driver, Simone, was very professional and provided us with water. I would use this service again.

        Excellent Excursion
        Dario was an excellent driver. He was on time picking us up and made a few stops in Pisa to show us the sights before dropping us off in the first town of Cinque Terre. When we were done he was waiting for us exactly as described. He provided maps and tips for a smooth day in these beautiful coastal towns.

        Great Florence Experience
        Simoné was the perfect tour guide. He and his tour partner made my family feel special. They were at our complete disposal and did everything to ensure we had a great time. Would definitely recommend this tour company to anyone traveling to Florence. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Simonè!!

        Wonderful, It was a pleasure to be with Simone on this tour
        Awesome tour and even better driver/tour guide.. Simone was awesome. Gave us a lot of information and sights of Pisa (his hometown) things we would of never seen or knew.. On our way to Cinque Terre he showed us a lot of places pointing out along the way. Drop off and pickup were perfect as well as info on how to navigate the Cinque Terre islands. He is an asset to this tour group..

        Great tour to Florence with excellent guide.
        We had an excellent tour with our driver, Simone Franco. He suggested an efficient route to see as much as possible and drive us through beautiful stretches of Tuscany landscape. We stopped in San Gimignano and Florence. Simone picked the picked the best spots to stop and was great and communicating and making adjustments during our visit. Highly recommend.

        Excellent, helpful, organized, accommodating
        Simone was excellent, he was very patient and obliging. La Spenza to Pisa and Florence is quite a drive we previously arrived at Livorno cruise port which was definitely easier. If arriving at La Spenza I would consider only doing Florence, the kids struggled with the long distances.

        Such a great experience
        Simone was an awesome tour guide and driver. He is from Pisa so he provided a unique perspective and did a great job showing off his beautiful city. He took us to some of the most beautiful spots to take photos and then we were left in Florence to shop for a few hours. He gave us great directions and some recommendations as well. As soon as we called Simone and told him we were ready to go, He was there within five minutes. We really enjoyed our day with Simone and would highly recommend him in the future.

        Outstanding driver !!!
        Simone was our full day driver from the La Spezia port to Pisa, then on to Lucca - then back to the Port. I don’t often leave review - but we had an exceptional experience and I was compelled to leave a review. Our experience with Simone was wonderful. He was such a great guy, a safe and professional driver with an immaculately clean van - stocked with complimentary beverages. We had an unplanned quick stop and he was very accommodating. As an English only speaker, Simone’s command of the English language was excellent. 100% recommend his services. Derek/Debbie May 2024

        Great Day in Piza!
        Spent a wonderful day with Simone showing us the beautiful sites of Piza. He was a wonderful guide even going so far as to recommend and make reservations for us for lunch. Couldn't have ask for a better experience.

        We can’t recommend Simon highly enough. He was the perfect host for our day trip to the Cinque Terra. Kind and informative, he made sure we all had a wonderful day. Thank you so much Simon, you are a great Ambassador for Italy and Pisa.

        A great way to visit Tuscany
        Simon was an excellent guide for our excursion. Very attentive and knowledgeable, pointing out interesting views and sites along the way. He is very professional not over talkative and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him.

        Our amazing adventure with Simone!
        Our trip with Simone was by far the best experience of our trip! He was an excellent tour guide and driver and an even more remarkable individual. He was kind, accommodating and made this trip to Pisa and Florence so special. Simone went above and beyond to show us this beautiful Tuscany region, making sure to answer all our questions while giving in-depth information of the rich cultural history of these historical cities. He was also both patient and flexible with our requests while making sure we had enough time at each area to truly enjoy the sites. This experience truly made our vacation to Europe worth it and we highly recommend it for anyone looking to both relax and enjoy Florence and Pisa. We can't wait for our next adventure with Simone!

        Hidden Gem- Lucca
        Our driver Simon was professional and personal the entire time. He is a local of both cities and was able to explain fun and enjoyable things to see and do. It was great being able to see Pisa, as the lines got longer as we were leaving. Lucca is hardley given any recognition of it endless amounts of restaurants, shop and churches. We were overwhelmingly surprised by Lucca and we are hoping to return for another trip for more days. Thank you Simon for an excellent adventure!

        AWESOME BOOK SIMONE
        Wonderful service- very flexible, informative, and professional. We had a large party of 10, and Simone was extremely accommodating as we went from the cruise port to Pisa to Florence and back. He provided an excellent lunch recommendation and was very helpful with any questions we had with the history as we drove. We ended up going past our time, and he was more than happy to extend it for us. The car was clean, excellent AC, and very comfortable. Could not rate this service highly enough- so dependable and amazing!

        Pisa/Florence with Claudio
        Our driver/guide Claudio picked us up right on time in the port of Livorno. He was personable from the start of the trip. We made a quick stop in Pisa just to see the tower and cathedral as well as a quick detour on the route through wine country. Claudio knew Pisa well as it is his hometown so he gave us the history. His English, while not perfect was very understandable and there were no communication problems. Claudio then took us to Florence where he told us about some of the highlights and what we should see. He drove us around Florence a bit and then dropped us off right in the middle where we explored for several hours on our own before meeting him for the drive back. Overall Claudio was excellent. He efficiently and informatively helped us accomplish a lot in just a day (8-9 hours really). He was easy to speak with the entire time and his vehicle (a sprinter van-like Mercedes) was very comfortable and he is a great driver. He is highly recommended!

      Overall – My favorite part of the entire experience was the owner, Simone (I think that’s how you spell his name). He was extremely patient and kind to our group of 21. Even with a large number of ‘Gen Z’ with particular needs (i.e bathroom stops, always the last ones to the car etc…) he still did everything with a smile. Also, the water, hand wipes, and hotspot was icing on the cake for me.

      Tour – I appreciated the deep knowledge Simone had regarding Florence, and Pisa. In particular, his love for Pisa was quite infectious and hard not fall in love with the city he calls home.

      Hot Tip – Make sure to incorporate a visit to Buca Poldo in Florence. This was the BEST recommendation Simone gave for food in Florence that could accommodate a large group.

      Can’t wait to return to the Tuscany area and see what else Simone has to offer.

      We had a nice drive to Florence and Pisa. My family put together an itinerary and the tour company and our driver Mateo were very nice in helping us with suggestions and getting us through our itinerary. Mateo offered some facts of the area along the way, and was very professional and responsive in arranging meeting places, etc. Thank you for a nice trip!

      We had a very enjoyable experience with our tour to Pisa and Florence. Simone was very prompt and met us at the cruise terminal in Livorno. A native Pusan, Simone not only took us to the Leaning Tower (giving us plenty of time to walk around and take photos) but also showed us other sites in Pisa as we drove through on the way to Florence.
      In Florence, Simone started by taking us to Piazzale Michelangelo for a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. He then drove us to the very corner of Piazza Del Duomo and gave us instructions for our self-guided walking tour of the heart of Florence. After several hours, all we had to do was text Simone and he met us within 15 minutes to take us back to the ship.
      Simone is informative, professional, friendly, and kind. I highly recommend him.

      We had a great day seeing Pisa and Florence.
      Simone was very polite and knowledgeable.
      He first took us through Pisa (where he is from), showing us the city and taking us to see the leaning tower. We had the desire to visit a Tuscan winery and he found one on the way for us to stop and sample some wine. He then took us to Florence, stopping first at Piazza Michelangelo to see all of Florence from the most amazing view. We had wanted to try a Florentine steak so he recommended and made us a reservation for a great restaurant.
      He pointed out everything to see and we enjoyed our day thoroughly.
      Thanks Simone!

      We were very disappointed in the tour and the tour guide. We were told we could expect an English speaking tour guide. Our driver could not speak English and so we were unable to communicate. We were also told we would be touring in a Mercedes van. Instead we were picked up in a 4 door sadan. My husband is 81 and over 6 feet tall. It was extremely difficult for him getting out of the vehicle.
      We were also told we'd have a gift pack and use of Wi-F. We had neither. No water was provided and such a hot day was miserable.
      We chose a private tour and were willing to pay the high price of $595 for the sevice.
      We had 3 stops. We had no idea of what we were seeing or the history. We could have taken a bus and saved $500.

      Hi Terri, you reserved Pisa and florence tour by car so obiviously you had a car. Why should we have sent a Minivan? Our driver Emilio speaks English and Spanish and olso referred to us he tried to explain the area as usually but you did’t want to listen. It would be better to know the Colosseum in not in Florence before to travel the world. Even if is not included in the tour he drove you through the Tuscany country hills to admire the view. WiFi is always available on board, just ask. We also know he was very kind and bought fresh water on the first stop in Pisa. Just a note: we never gave to our clients a gift pack but a welcome pack that due to Covid19 was cancelled . If you reserved a Tour to see two of the Tuscan beauties just for a “gift pack” you better to review your priority. We think this is a miserable way to try to obtein a refund but din’t work this way. Your words discredit our job and are false and defamatory. But as we say in Italy: Lies have short legs. Caterina Special Tour Team

      Simone was indeed a professional in providing tourist services to my family. He is very hygienic & friendly. His vehicle looked and smelled very clean. No annoying air fresheners. He was also very generous in sharing information about his town in Pisa & Florence. We highly recommend his services if you need some personal yet professional tour guide and transportation services in Pisa & Florence. Absolutely a diamond in a raft!

      My husband and I had a private tour of Florence and Pisa with this outstanding company. We had a BLAST. Simone was our guide, we couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better experience. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, we had such a great experience! If you are considering booking this tour, just go ahead and do it, you won't regret it.

      Maria Clare…Best tour guide ever!! Maria was knowledgeable, took us through the Tuscany countryside, stopped for lunch at Vendita Olio E Vino ( which was absolutely delicious!), traveled to Pisa to see leaning tower of Pisa, and on to Florence. Maria’s personal touch made us feel like we were with family! Highly recommend this tour!! Definitely ask for Maria!

      We had a wonderful day with Gabriele, our driver. He picked us up at the cruise port in Livorno right on time (in fact, he was a bit early!).

      He was quite flexible with our plans and accommodated our request to minimize our time in Pisa to allow for more time in Florence.

      I wasn't expecting a "tour guide" per se, but Gabriele is from Livorno and is quite familiar with Pisa and Florence. He provided us with the highlights and historical information.

      Gabriele was humorous and light hearted. Thanks Gabriele...we had a wonderful day.

      Simone was great - met us on time outside the terminal. Drove us to Pisa while explaining some sights along the way and gave us time to roam and take pictures. Then to Florence (first the Piazzale Michaelangelo for amazing photos and then to the heart of Florence, where once again we were allowed to roam at our leisure.
