We booked a transfer from La Spezia port to Florence and back and couldn't be more pleased. Arnoldo was great and helped us traverse Florence quickly and efficiently all day so we were able to see everything we wanted to see in 5 hours!! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely cannot say enough good things about Joe Banana. We used them three times while there in different capacities and they went above and beyond every time. It was our first time in Italy and add to that we didn’t want to use a lot of public transportation for health reasons but also just comfort and convenience. Drivers always on time friendly and went the extra mile for us. We asked for tours they used their vast knowledge to show us places others may not have thought of! When we go back we will use them again and I tell anyone that is traveling to Italy about their outstanding service . Please note it isn’t just the drivers it is also their business office staff and schedulers . We would even get calls during or after transport to make sure all was well!!! Being in Italy was a bit overwhelming and they helped us navigate so we could relax and enjoy!! Anna Geno and Nic in particular were outstanding !!! We felt like friends ! ( see pic for a stop we made that we didn’t know as Americans even existed I wept thru the entire visit there and owe a great debt to our driver for bringing us there)

Service just doesn’t get any better than that offered by Joe Banana Limos. We used them in Naples and touring the Amalfi Coast. Our driver Massimo was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and very customer focused. I have used this company for 7 years in Italy and I can say their service is second to none. As a company their business has been hit (as have many others) by COVID-19 - their reassurance re face masks, cleaning and support to access tourist sites proves that even in challenging times customer care is their first priority

My family was in Italy for a wedding in Tuscany. We used this service to bring us from Florence to the wedding and back to Florence for the next leg of our trip. The drivers were prompt and friendly. Took care of our luggage. One Driver gave us a fascinating history lesson about Florence. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Will definitely use this service again.

We used Joe Banana for a private tour to some wineries in Montalcino. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. They also had availability for us when we decided to book last minute. The Mercedes can was new and clean and rode very smoothly. Our driver, Giuseppe, was very friendly and we enjoyed speaking to him throughout the day.

This is our 3rd time booking with Joe Banana Tours and we were not disappointed. Francesco met us at the ship on time with a luxury van for the 6 of us. We first went to Pisa and on the way, he told us stories of the Tuscan life, food, history, etc. What a site! It was never really on my bucket list, but it was on one of our groups, but so glad I saw it. Overwhelming. We were lucky to get there early before the big groups got there so we got wonderful pictures. From there we went to Lucca. Amazing little town and we'll go back! Francesco gave us the sites to see on our own, and we were able to roam the streets and get wonderful pictures.
Leaving Lucca we traveled to Florence, stopping at the best sights for pictures. He continued educating us on Florence. He recommended a spot for lunch and phoned ahead to make sure they could accommodate us. It was delicious!! Since we didn't have time to do museums, he suggested we visit a local winery in Chianti and SO GLAD we did! We were the only ones there and they gave us a tour of the winery and we had wonderful tastings. The wines were delicious and several of us purchased bottles. It was a great deviation from the crowds of Florence and an opportunity to see the countryside!
Francesco got us back to the ship in plenty of time and we had a really delightful day with him. Once again Joe Banana tours took special care of us & we thoroughly enjoyed Francesco!

We used Joe Bananas out of Florence for a day trip to Cinque Terre. Our driver Alberto was very friendly, provided interesting commentary on the region and navigated us safely along the winding, narrow roads between towns. We were given ample time to stop for lunch in Corniglia, as well as visit a relative's home town in Viareggio on the way back to the cruise ship terminal in Livorno. Joe Bananas provides an excellent alternative to the structured cruise ship excursions out of Livorno. At first glance JBL tours appears to be much more expensive than the cruise ship choices, but you get what you pay for. All in all a great day!

we did the florence/pisa tour, our driver Leonardo was such a gentleman and did all he could to make our tour the best. He explained every stop we had and pointed out things that might interest us. He encouraged us to ask any questions. We did florence first and then had lunch at a winery that was not part of the tour but was fantastic. Then on to pisa and back to cruise ship in plenty of time. Thank you Leonardo for a great tour and I would recommend this tour with Leonardo to anyone visiting florence or coming into livorno by cruise ship.

Rode the shuttle bus to the cruise terminal and Alessio (Alex) was waiting for us. Nice clean black Mercedes sedan. Alex proved to be a very competent driver even in difficult traffic situations. It took almost two hours to get to Florence but we learned a lot of history and other information as we rode along. We had purchased our passes to the Accademia weeks earlier and on the recommendation of the Joe Banana representative we got them for 12:30 p.m. Well, we were way early and Alex arranged for an early entrance for us. That was GREAT. After the Accademia (well worth it) we went through the old section of Florence and marvled at the cathedrals and other Renaissance buildings. Alex recommended that we try the tripe sandwich at Trippaio del Porcellino. We were a little doubtful but it was surprisingly tasty. He also recommended a first-rate gelateria which we enjoyed. The drive to Pisa was smooth and we learned a lot about the history of that city. We didn't climb the leaning tower but were very impressed with the cathedral. Nice visit with plenty of time to see all that we wanted to. Quick trip back to the ship. All very nice and just as we had hoped. Kudos to Alex and to Joe Banana
