      Wonderful all around
      Maria was an incredible guide for our day. She was knowledgeable, incredibly kind and very adaptable to any obstacle the beautiful but very busy Florence threw our way. The day started with our visit to Pisa, climbing the tower was definitely a highlight of our trip! We then took a scenic route through the beautiful countryside sightseeing the vineyards and olive tree groves. Maria throughout our journey was a great resource and depth of knowledge about all the sites along with the history of region. In the afternoon we spent our time in Florence starting with entry to Accademia Gallery to view the statue of David and other amazing pieces of artwork. Maria guided us throughout our day allowing us to be worry free during an otherwise very busy city! We spent the rest of our free time exploring the streets, many beautiful churches, lots of sandwich shops and all the must see sites. To top off our exciting day, right before our scheduled pick up from Maria, there was a parade to celebrate the wine making in the region with people dressed in traditional Medici era garments and lots of musicians. Maria encouraged us to stay to watch the festivities and then expertly drove us out through the chaos without any issues! She was fantastic and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an amazing day with an incredible guide to make unforgettable memories!!

      Cinque Terre from Livorno
      We had Paolo as our driver for a trip to Cinque Terre from Livorno. He's an amazing guide full of local knowledge so we had a wonderful tour on the way there. Then he also gave us detailed instruction on the best way to get around Cinque Terre in the limited time we had. Including being available via texts to restaurant recommendations when we decided which town we decided to eat lunch in.

      Second time, Same amazing experience. Cant wait to go back!
      This was our second time with Nicola Scovenna and our second time with Maria Clara specifically. We had such a great experience our first time that we were extremely excited for our return trip. We came in by cruise, and asked for a full day with Maria Clara in Florence. When she showed up, very early I may add, to the port, it was like seeing family. Maria Clara knew just where to take us, where to park and made the day amazing once again. We visited Florence on an extremely hot day hitting temperatures around 100 deg. Maria Clara managed to keep the car close for us to cool down, and personally walked us to our tour locations ensuring we would not get lost in the extreme heat. Restaurant recommendations were amazing and the little extra spots she brought us maximized every minute we had . We use car service quite a bit when we travel to Europe to bring us around each area we visit. It is amazing how many are late (causing unnecessary anxiety), unclear with meeting places, and sometimes a bit cool with their temperament. Experiencing the variety of services out there really makes you appreciate how high a level of service as well as the warmth and hospitality we have experienced with Nicola, and Maria Clara. We have much more to see in Tuscany, and cant wait to be back to see them again. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to use them, don't pass that opportunity up.

      Excellent Private Driver/Guide
      Our family of 4 had a wonderful Private tour with Paolo. He was an excellent driver/guide. He provided an abundant of information as we travelled along the way. He provided suggestions and clear instructions on when to meet after the stop. Paolo was wonderful, pleasant and very accommodating. He even brought us to a beautiful area in Pisa to take photos. He was so thoughtful - When we forgot to leave our bags in his vehicle before entering the Leaning Tower of Pisa, he searched over a very busy area to find us which saved us time not having to store our bags in the lockers. I would recommend Susy and Nicola Scovenna for their organized and detailed service as well as the pleasant correspondence. And for Paolo for providing excellent, thoughtful and knowledgeable guidance and safe driving.

      Lucca and Pisa - BEST DAY OF CRUISE!!
      OMG! The best day . Enzo our driver made our day so special. We had a trip to Lucca and then to Pisa for leaning tower. My late husband's Grandma was born in Lucca and I had found out the church she went to as a child. I had asked if he could drive us by it between Lucca and Pisa - prior to our meeting. We were running a little behind schedule (our fault, not his) and we told him we would skip the church if we needed to. He made sure he got us there for a quick photo. He asked us questions about what we liked, recommended a place for lunch and called and made us reservations. Enzo recommended things to do in Lucca and made sure that we were having a good time. I made these reservations almost a year in advance and the company was so easy to work with and communicate via emails. There was shop that a family had recommended for olive oil and I asked him about it and he dropped us off at the door! I can't say enough good about him .

      Fantastic Private 2-day tour in Tuscany
      Our private 2-day tour with Nicola was fantastic. From start to finish they provided excellent service. While planning the tour, they provided suggestions and advice on where to visit and the best route, which wineries to visit based on our preferences etc. During the actual tour days, Nicola made sure we were comfortable, was very flexible and accommodating to our requests, and suggested changes due to bad weather. Nicola was a safe driver and his van is new, comfortable, and well maintained.

      Wonderful Private Transfer!
      Paolo was an excellent driver! He also spoke excellent English and was able to tell me all about the landscape and towns we were passing. He even helped me find my party in Lucca and walked with me into the square to find them! I will travel with this company again. Highly recommend them!

      Cinque Terre day trip
      Diego the driver was awesome. It was a great way to travel to Cinque Terre. Due to weather, the trains were delayed- luckily we had Diego who was able to drive us to each town. He was very friendly and we enjoyed our time with him.

      Great Company!
      What a great company! We spent two days exploring the area around Livorno. This is the third time we have used Nick for our visit to this area. His local knowledge is outstanding; and his service is very reliable and prompt. He helped to make our visit so special with his guidance in planning our itinerary. Many thanks.

      Our tour of Siena and San Gimigrano from Livorno (cruise terminal)
      Our group of 12 friends on the Oceania cruise engaged the services of Nicola Scovenna for a tour of Siena and San Gimigrano inTuscany. It was a relaxing and enjoyable excursion. Nicola was fast to respond to my booking and replied to all my queries promptly. We were provided with two vans and two charming drivers cum guides, Maria and Teresa, who drove us safely and back to the ship on time. A lovely lunch and wine tasting was arranged at a vineyard and we enjoyed it. Highly recommend the services of Nicola!

    Such a fantastic experience with Nicola Scovenna on our excursion to Pisa and Lucca this Summer. We were a group of 12 so booked two minibuses and drivers and were met by Nicola himself and Clara at the port. Unfortunately, due to a mix up with the booking form there were no car seats for our little ones, and so Nicola sprung into action and purchased some there and then. We were highly impressed and this set the tone for the remainder of the trip (including an issue with a broken rickshaw that Nicola spelled in and had resolved himself, even though we were at fault). Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done to make sure we had a good time. Nicola and Clara were super flexible and went over and above continually. They were also personable and we trusted them fully. We used a different operator for our trip to Rome and our experience was incomparable (rushed, inflexible and did not cater for our group); we were all wishing that Nicola Scovenna ran tours there too! I fail to understand why people book tours via cruise lines when they can support local businesses, have an individual, flexible tour accommodating them all and for what must be at least a third of the price, if not more. Trust me, spend your money and time on a trip with Nicola and team and you will not regret it.

    We were with our Nicola Scovenna Private Tours & Transfers driver Maria Clara from 9am to 7pm, from Livorno to Florence to Pisa, and back to our ship in Livorno.

    Throughout the day, Maria Clara took excellent care of us with a very upbeat, happy demeanor! Somehow, she got us everywhere we needed to go, quickly and efficiently, and was always right there to pick us up and get us to the next stop. She is a very skilled driver, even in extremely tight spaces! 😊

    The company's communication with me prior to the trip was top-notch. I had many questions, and all were answered personally and with insight and kindness, which was so appreciated. It was obvious to me that NSPT&T was a company that cares and responds with attention to detail which made me feel comfortable and confident.

    And the Mercedes van the company provided was so comfortable and spotless we thought it was a brand new vehicle; we couldn’t believe it was three years old.

    As a business owner myself, I feel that Nicola Scovenna Tours & Transfers values their employees, their equipment, and certainly their customers. I will forever recommend them to anyone traveling to the locations where their company has a presence. And I have faith in their continued success.

    We arrived by cruise to Port Livorno in Italy and wanted to rent a private vehicle for 7 of us to go to Pisa and then Florence. Nicola was very warm and friendly, he was our driver and the owner. Susy, the coordinator, was very responsive to emails. She was quick and informative. The vehicle was spacious and perfect for myself plus 6 elderly relatives. Nicola took us to wherever we wanted. The drive and day was tailored to our needs. The key thing is that this is a family owned and ran business and I support family owned and ran business 100%. I feel that there is a sense of commitment and passion when it comes to family business. I truly recommend Nicola and Susy for any transportation or tour needs when you are in the area, Pisa/Florence!!!!!

    Maria picked us up at the cruise port in Livorno, gave us a wonderful tour of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and then on to Florence via a scenic Tuscan countryside where we were able to see olive trees and grape vines. She personalized our tour of Florence giving us time to taste yummy gelato, shop the leather market, grab a quick lunch, and see the a lot of the primary sites in this beautiful city. This day with Maria was a highlight of our trip and we couldn’t have been happier with how she managed the time.

    Our driver, Teresa, was amazing! She was patient and friendly and accommodating of our needs (we had 3 kids with us plus 2 older adults with mobility issues). She spoke perfect English but she also graciously allowed me to practice my limited Italian, too. She answered all of our questions and told us so much about Italy as we drove through the Tuscan countryside. I'm so glad we booked a private excursion to San Gimignano and Florence with Nicola Scovenna rather than going on one of the big group tours offered by the cruise line. Thank you, Teresa, for giving our family an unforgettable day in Tuscany! Grazie mille!

    Absolutely wonderful! So friendly and willing to work with our extra large group including providing car seats for the kids and setting up two vehicles to fit our entire group. Great communication. We had a great time and highly recommend this as an option for a cruise excursion to make the most of your limited time ashore. We quickly went straight into Pisa to see the leaning tower then onto Florence where we were dropped off at a great restaurant for lunch and given instructions for meeting back after exploring the city for a couple of hours. On the way home we stopped at Piazza Michelangelo for a great photo. Highly recommend!

    I contacted the office about two weeks before our cruise stop in Livorno. I had Suzy helping me with everything including the tickets to the Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery. The driver, Maria Theresa, was amazing! She was very professional and spoke perfect English. The car was spotless, a minivan Mercedes-Benz. Unfortunately, the day we arrived in Livorno, a storm broke out and we spent a long time in traffic because trees had fallen into the road. The driver was in contact with the office the whole time for traffic updates and to make sure that we would be able to visit the museums. We were 30 minutes late for the Uffizi, though the driver explained the situation to the museum staff and he allowed us to enter. Thank you Theresa!!! Besides the weather, we had the best experience.

    Our tour is for Pisa and Florence in oct 23 from theport of Livorno. The vehicle was a merc that can easily fit 6. The drive was amazing especially through the Tuscany region. Paolo our driver was very friendly, spoke excellent English and most of all very knowledgeable on the places we visited. For a family of three, the tour was a real value for money compared to the bus tour organised by the cruise ship (Celebrity X).
    Paolo waited for us within walking distance from the ship and bring us back within the time allocated- 8 hours. The best part is, there was no time wasted as compared to big tour group.
    The communication/ any queries with Nicola Scovena was promptly answered. Very professionally.
    We had an amazing time.

    Booking was easy and straightforward. The company was very supportive and obliging. We wanted to tour Florence and if possible Pisa just to view the leaning tower. We were met at the gangplank of our ship and escorted in a new comfortable SUV for the 6 of us. During the drive from Livorno to Florence the guide, Mattias provided lots of information. The SUV was able to park right in the centre of Florence and to stay there all day We toured all the major sites with Mattias providing information as we went. If we wanted to see something Mattias arranged it and included it in the tour. He also recommended a local restaurant for local food. A treat because it was truffle season. Mattias arranged time slot tickets to visit the Accademia to view Michelangelo's David - one of the fabulous treasures. We had read extensively about the features of Florence and Mattias did not miss showing us as much as we could absorb. En route back to the ship he took us to Pisa where he knew an uncrowded viewing spot very close to the tower. We would not hesitate to recommend this company to fellow travelers.

    This was the third excursion we took with Nicola Scovenna NCC and it was amazing!
    Our family of three adults and three children (11, 13, 15) were met at the pier in La Spezia promptly. as planned.
    Paolo, our driver and guide for the day was charming, extremely knowledgeable, informative, friendly and professional! We all loved him, especially our kids!
    At our quick stop in Pisa we were surprised by Matteo our driver on two previous tours! It was so sweet, thoughtful and touching to have him meet us and for him to meet our daughter and grandchildren! Having travelled with this company before, we felt like family!
    On the way to Florence, Paolo stopped so that we could get beautiful views of the landscape, a vineyard and Florence.
    Our time in Florence was perfectly planned, as Paolo recommended the best restaurant for our family and after some free time, some members of our group did the climb of the Duomo's stairs which had previously been arranged for the company.
    We could not have had a better day! From the planning, with Nicola and Susy who are always available with suggestions to tailor trip that accommodates all ages, to the driver guides who are warm, outgoing, knowledgeable and professional, to the care and concern for the travelers and even the immaculate new vehicles I highly recommend this company! I have used them before and recommended them to others and each time we've had a spectacular experience!
