Day trip through Tuscany with Francesco
Jul 2019
This was definitely one of the highlights of our entire trip!! Perfect day top to bottom! Francesco was great! Very knowledgeable and he added some wonderful things to our itinerary, including a beautiful abbey. We wanted to have lunch at a vineyard and his recommendation was spot on! I would highly recommend treating yourself to this service!!

Family trip to Venice and Florence
Jun 2019 • Family
Excellent scheduling of the trip. We arranged all our trip - picking up from the airport, water taxi, guided tours with museum skip the line tickets, hotel pick up, driving from and to the two cities, excursions - with this company, and everything was perfectly arranged, no delays, excellent drivers, polite, luxurious cars. The guided tours were also great, with special remarks to our guide in Florence, Ilaria, who for five hours walked us through the Uffizzi museum and the Academia, with ispiration, attention to detail of what she believed was important, and love for her job. It was one of the best guided tours I ever had.

Wonderful tours with Simone
Oct 2018 • Couples
We had a flawless experience with Simone touring some beautiful towns outside of Florence. We took tours on two separate days and each one was wonderful. We will definitely be booking future tours with this company.

Our Excellent Adventure of Tuscany with Driver/Guide Juliano
Oct 2015 • Couples
My husband and I had the great pleasure of touring Northern Italy for 16 days this past October. We cannot say enough good things about the three days we spent touring Tuscany with our driver/guide Juliano of Driving Guide Tours of Florence. The Mercedes sedan was always clean and very comfortable, and Juliano could not have been more of a gentleman (opening doors, etc.) He had wonderful knowledge of the cities and villages, their shops and restaurants, the "must see" places, as well as the interesting history of the areas we visited. He was completely flexible - allowing us to spend as much or as little time as we wished in each location. As I had injured my back and was using a cane, Juliano would let us out at the closest possible entrance (and then go park somewhere else if necessary), and then pick us up right at the exit. As he drove, he got to know us a bit, and from that made suggestions as to places we might enjoy visiting. We stopped in Verona to visit Juliet's balcony; Modena to learn more about the making of balsamic vinegar; in Parma to see how parmaggiano/reggiano cheese is made; toured a winery built into a cave for a wonderful tasting; to Assisi to see St Francis' church; to have lunch in the beautiful piazza of Sienna and visit the most beautiful church we saw in all of Northern Italy; to try the "World's Best Gelato" in San Gimignano; to explore an ancient underground hiding place under a wine store in Montipulciano; and the interesting and diverse list goes on!! With Juliano's command of the language and knowledge of the area, we always felt we were being treated like royalty and shown the very best of all there was to see. Without hesitation, when we plan our next return to Italy, the first contact we will make will be to Driving Guide Private Tours of Florence and hope that Juliano is still there! Even though we will spend a lot of our next trip in the southern part of Italy, I will see if this company can accommodate us, or would value their recommendation of another company if we travel too far out of their area. As you can tell, we highly recommend Driving Guide Private Tours of Florence and Juliano as your driver/guide!!!

Biking in Lucca was the best!
Aug 2015
Matteo, our guide and driver, picked us up at 8AM and we headed first to Lucca. The day was beautiful and we rented bikes for the morning – a must. Matteo took us for a tour first around the city walls and then into the city itself. He even arranged for us to have lunch a bit early so that we could make it to Pisa for our tower climb tickets. He was terrific! I would highly recommend spending more time in Lucca and staying for lunch. This is very charming city and the food is fantastic! Pisa was a must for our kids for than for me but certainly worth a visit on a gorgeous day. I would recommend climbing the tower and then spending a little time in the rest of the field of miracles. From our experience I would get tower climbing tickets either early to start the day in Pisa then go to Lucca or later (no sooner than 2:00PM) to allow enough time to have lunch in Lucca. We had tower tickets for 1:45PM and this was tight.

Driven tour of Santorini
Jul 2015 • Friends
our hoel "on the rocks" santorini organsied a driver for a 4 hour tour of Santorini. We met Christos (brilliant driver and very chatty and HELPFUL) who took us to Oia, ammoudi, emporio, and Perissa....basically the whole island covered. He took photos and talked about the island and his history....engineer looking for a career....all really interesting and made the ride really good.
would reccoment NST Tours based in Oia...ask for Christos.

if you see him tell him the australians really enjoyed his tour and high level of service.

Marvelous Montepulciano
May 2015 • Friends
We spent a fantastic day exploring Montepulciano and surrounding towns with Francesco. His incredible knowledge of Italian history and culture combined with a great sense of humor made for a fun day. The tour was entirely customized based on our preferences which we had discussed in advance. He was also extremely flexible and offered additional touring options that day.

After exploring a few towns including the beautiful Pienze, we lunched at an beautiful working farm on a hill outside the city, "Podere Il Casale" that included a delicious sampler of their homemade pecorino cheeses. Francesco became our "go to guide" for the rest of the trip whenever we had questions about our other destinations.

I am recommending Drivng Guide Tours o several friends who will be visiting Tuscany. I am confident their experiences will be as memorable as ours!

Three days of stress free sightseeing
Dec 2014 • Family
We throughouly enjoyed our time with Monika as our tour guide during our time in Greve in Chianti. We visited many places such as Lucca, Pisa, Sienna, San Gimignano, Florence and other small towns. She recommended 'Terre Di Baccio' which was absolutely beautiful with so much character. Paulo, our host was very helpful and obliging. Would recommend to all.

Excellent Florence and Tuscany Tours
Dec 2014 • Family
Christmas 2014 we were in Florence - 2 adults and 5 young adults (18-29 years of age). We had 2 tours from Francesco at this company. Our first was a walking tour of Florence. We had the tour geared to our interests of food and artisans. The areas we visited and the knowledge imparted to us was excellent. Having a local show us around allowed us to go places we wouldn't have been able to do on our own. We also booked an all day driving tour of Siena and San Gimignano. It was obvious that our guide, Francesco, was extremely knowledgable of both the area attractions and history. The tours were informative and fun. In addition to the tours, we booked the company to drive us from Florence to the airport in Rome. The ease of the transfer is worth the price! Next time we go to Florence we will defiantly book other tours with Driving Guide Tours. They are a bit expensive, but worth every penny - very reliable showing up exactly when and where they said they would.
