We had previously used Cruises on the Road in Tuscany. When we decided to return to Tuscany we immediately contacted Riccardo and told him of the types of things we would like to do. Over the course of a month we build an itinerary that hit all the locations and things we wanted to do.
There were four of us and Riccardo arranged for a large mini-van to transport us from location to location. The vehicle was clean, moderns and very well maintained.
What we remember from our previous tours with Riccardo was his knowledge of the history of the regions. He was just as good as we remembers. He speaks excellent English and has done enough English speaking tours to know slang terms and joke with us.
What surprised us was his ability to walk into nearly any restaurant or vintner and set up a special tasting for just our group.
If all that wasn’t enough Riccardo knows where then”hidden gems” are scattered throughout the region. Sometimes off the beaten path these nuggets were just neat to see and experience.
We aren’t sure when we will return to Tuscany, but when we do we will be reaching out to Riccardo.

I can’t say enough good things about our tour with Riccardo. If you are visiting Florence or the Tuscany region, absolutely book with Cruises on the road in Tuscany. Our family of 6 had an incredible time seeing Florence and the Chianti region and Riccardo made sure every detail was taken care of. He was very entertaining and we left feeling like he was a new member of our family. He is as good as it gets!!

Cruises on the Road in Tuscany, by Riccardo provided a wonderful experience for my fiancé and I while we were in Italy. He organized tours, provided outstanding food recommendations, and shared his vast knowledge of the various regions we covered. We enjoyed Riccardo’s local knowledge and the comfort of his spacious van as we toured Pisa, Lucca, and the Tuscan region. Touring Lucca with Riccardo was one of the highlights of our tour, as he shared the rich history of the city and took us to local spots. I would highly recommend Cruises on the Road in Tuscany to anyone traveling to Italy.

Riccardo and Cruises on the Road in Tuscany solved a transportation challenge for us AND made the trip delightful. We planned to travel by train from Florence to Cinque Terra but wanted to stop in Piza and do an overnight in Lucca, which seemed only accessible by bus while dragging luggage around (not ideal). Riccardo put together a great driving tour for us from Florence to Piza where we enjoyed the sights, and then to our hotel in Lucca for day 1; then for day 2 he picked us up and gave us a driving tour to our hotel in Cinque Terra, and took us to a beautiful seaside restaurant for lunch in Porto Venere along the way. All the while, he commented on the points of interest and gave us suggestions for the rest of our stay in Liguria and Tuscany. We had such a great time and will definitely plan an adventure with him again.

So happy to post such a positive review for Riccardo and Cruises on the Road to Tuscany.
Riccardo planned our entire trip from Rome to Florence to Verona and then to Venice.
He made all the arrangements for the guides and the purchase of our train tickets. All we had to do was show up!
After spending 4 nights in Rome with a guide and a golf cart tour and several recommended restaurants, Riccardo picked us up at our hotel and he was so accommodating.
We hit the road to Florence and Riccardo was a wealth of knowledge about the history and geography to the relative recent formation of Italy (1861, thank you Riccardo). We stopped along the way to throw back an espresso and back on the road. Riccardo arranged a wine tasting in Tuscany, and a special lunch at a hideaway restaurant that offered a breathtaking view. Later, a private guided tour in Florence.
He helped us with accommodations in Verona and Venice.
One of the best experiences we’ve ever had!
Totally recommend Riccardo and his company.

Our cruises on the Road with Riccardo were perfetto. On our first day in Florence, Riccardo arranged a tour of the Accademia with the wonderful Regina. She was animated and fun and walked us through the streets of Florence sharing her favorite shops and gelato stops on our way to the gallery and we loved learning all we could about the extraordinary art within the walls. Then we spent two days traveling from Florence to Lucca, Pisa, Monte Carlo, San Gimignano. Our tour included a truffle hunt, cooking lesson and wine tasting on a family owned Tuscan farm on day one and a lovely lunch and wine tasting overlooking the vineyards where all the wine is produced on day two. Riccardo promised and delivered an experience of a lifetime. He was a pleasure to be with and we were sad to say goodbye to our new friend. 5 star rating for sure!

Riccardo worked with us to plan the perfect getaway in Tuscany. He gave us amazing choices for restaurants and venues, took care of the driving, planned a wine tasting, took pics for us, told us about the places we toured, and kept us laughing the whole time- he did not miss a thing. If I could give ten stars I would!

If you need a driver and guide in Italy I highly recommend Riccardo and his team! There were 6 of us traveling that inculded two childeren under the age of 4 and Riccardo made sure that every detail was taken care of. We were transported from Assisi, to Florence, to Lucca, to Bologna, Alba, Milan and then Switzerland. With all of theses stops we got to know then well and couldn't have had such a wonderful trip without their efforts.
Grazie and Buongiorno Riccardo and Matteo!

We had a great time with Riccardo. I asked for a truly Italian day and he delivered. He was very pleasant, funny, knowledgeable and we had the added benefit of enjoying a wonderful lunch together by the seaside, Gelato and coffee along the way. His tour was the highlight of our trip and we would recommend him to anyone visiting the Tuscany region.
Took his personal time to extend our day and show us a site not originally on our tour.

Cruises on the Road in Tuscany, by Riccardo put together a beautiful tour of Cinque Terre. Pick up was on time and in very comfortable van. My husband and I had the perfect day with Riccardo's suggestions. We were dropped off at the northern most point in Monterossa, then we took the ferry to several other villages. Approaching from the water provided the most picturesque way of seeing Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vernazza (where we had a snack), and Porto Venere. In Porto Venere our guide walked us to a fantastic restaurant looking the Port. He later walked us around the church. Our guide was very knowledgable about the area and chatted with us throughout our time in the van about the local history. We highly recommend Cruises on the Road in Tuscany. Thanks so much Riccardo for making our trip to Italy the best it could be.
