Marco was exceptional! We had a fantastic day trip through Tuscany. Car was comfortable, views beautiful. Two incredible wine tasting experiences. Marco gives a guided tour as you drive through the beautiful countryside. We will be sure to book with him again. Highly recommend!

Two weeks ago. I’ve recently had the good fortune to have another day in Tuscany with Marco in a few short months. This time, to visit Siena, San Gimignano and Certaldo. It was my friend’s first time to Tuscany and she was so happy we had this adventure. He is so informative and you always learn a lot about where you will be visiting, the traditions, the nice stories and history and the countryside as well. He was able to get us as close as possible to the various places, which is a huge bonus and it allows a bit more time at each destination and he seemed to know just when to arrive to avoid the crowds and have a really good visit. He is always pleasant, easy to talk with, fun, answers any questions, knows the area so well. We also loved driving some of the back roads with stunning views which are memorable for sure. He is a great driver, always right on time, a lovely vehicle, and a great person to spend the time with learning of Tuscany. Perhaps I will have to return once more, just for the gelato at the World Famous Dondoli’s in San Gimignano that we were unable to enjoy due to the massive crowds in line! You will be in good hands with Marco. Thanks again for a great day! Joan Wilmoth…

We were in Italy for 3 weeks and wanted to wring as much out of it as possible and this included a trip to Siena and the hill towns in the area. While most of the big attractions are well serviced by fast and direct transport, Siena & San Gimignano are not. We did the numbers and we didn't want to spend half the day catching public transport and working out connections. We used Marco and was well worth the cost. He dropped us (literally) at the door of the Duomo in Siena and picked us up again before driving us to San Gimignano and doing the same. After this he went to a small winery in the middle of nowhere but in the hills overlooking a valley. After this we stopped by another town or two and made our way back to Florence where we were staying. Marco suggested an earlier start (0830) to beat the traffic both ways as well as be in Siena early for the tower climb before the crowds arrived. This was an excellent idea as as we were leaving, the crowds were really starting to swell.. Marco was easy to talk to and gave us history lessons on each area we passed and went through. We were picked up and dropped off at our door and on reflection I wouldn;t wanted to have even tried to hire a car and do what we did. Although a private tour is more expensive than a group one, in this case, the expense was worth it. The vehicle was clean, modern and comfortable and Marco prompt with replies.…

We booked Marco from Australia without knowing what to expect. He communicated well via email, arrived before time in a lovely vehicle. He was very knowledgeable and added to our day immensely. He fitted in around our plans and helped with the language barrier. A very enjoyable day for us (maybe a long day of waiting for Marco) Thank you for making our dream of getting from Florence to Maranello and the Ferrari factory a reality.…

Today Marco drove us from our hotel in Florence, to our hotel in Siena, with a few stops in between. We had an AMAZING day and Marco made everything so easy for us. He allowed us to choose our own stops, but he also has fantastic suggestions if you need help making an itinerary. I HIGHLY recommend booking Marco for a day trip or private transfer. It is so much easier than renting a car, and the prices were very reasonable for an 8 hour day. Marco was extremely courteous, thoughtful and prompt. If we come back to Florence, we will absolutely hire him again. Grazie, Marco!…
