Awesome Florence/pisa tour - Our driver was fabulous and got us to Florence quickly since we were late disembarking the cruise ship. Our tour guide (Isabella) was knowledgeable and took us to see everything we wanted to see and recommended a great restaurant for lunch. Our driver helped us thru the rain to make the most of our trip thru Pisa. Highly recommend - 10/10.

Lorenzo, our Guide in Florence, was great. Recommend tour if cost is not an issue. - We have been to Pisa and Florence several times so we didn’t need to go into the Duomo, Fuzzi, or other museums. Our guide in Florence, Lorenzo, was excellent and Very knowledgeable of the history of Florence. Pisa was good because we got to climb the Tower that we hadn’t done before. Our driver was on time at port and pointed out points of interest during the hour long trip from the port to each of the cities.. Mercedes van was a little older (2018) but in clean, good condition. Had a great Italian meal for lunch and some time for shopping. Weather cooperated. I know it cost a lot for fuel, guide fee and drivers time, but this was the most expensive tour we booked and I’m not sure it was the best value.

I love Florence, Italy! - We picked this tour because we wanted to see Florence. Initially we were coming into Liverno, but our ship changed ports to La Spezia months after I had this tour booked. I spoke with Leonardo at Discover Tuscany and after some discussion and agreeing with him to pay more to be picked up from La Spezia we decided to keep the booking with him. Leonardo picked us up at the designated time and we left for Florence. On the way we discovered there was a marathon going on in Florence and they closed many of the roads, so we had to drive around for a while before we were able to find parking to meet with Laura our museum guide. Laura took us to the Accademia where we picked up our tickets to see Michelangelo's famous David. Wow! This incredible work of art really must be seen to be believed. The statue was much bigger than I imagined and quite impressive. We took lots of pictures in the Accademia, then Laura took us outside to see the many architectural wonders in Florence. Next we had lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant Leonardo booked for us. Afterwards we drove to see the amazing Leaning Tower of Pisa. I was hoping to have a chance to go to the Tuscan countryside and taste the wine, but unfortunately La Spezia is much further away than Liverno and we had to get back to our ship. Still, a wonderful day in Florence and Pisa.

Great customized private tour. - This was a great experience! Our tour was customized as I requested with tickets for the Academy of Arts in Florence and the Leani g Tower in Pisa (the tickets were reserved and we paid for them when we arrived). The timing was perfect. Our guide in Florence, Laura, was informative and kept us all engaged… even the teenagers.

Great private tour - This was a great experience. Our private driver was awesome and a full of knowledge. The only downside was that our tour around Florence was a little short. Overall I’m very happy we booked the private excursion because we saw group tours that looked terrible.

HOT - NO AIR in the old van on over 100-degree day - We were picked up at the Livorno port. We waited patiently for our driver, but he was not terribly late. Our supposedly "air-conditioned" van was ancient. The inside was missing panels and one of the seatbelts did not work. It just hung and clattered against the metal sides. The worst part of this old van was there was absolutely no air conditioning. This tour was on a 104 degrees F (40 Celsius) day. When we complained to Viator they contacted the tour operator. Their solution was for us to turn around (after 45 minutes already in this van) and they would refund our money. We had 45 minutes left for Florence, so we opted to pry the sticky windows open and ride the rest of the way to Florence. We opted NOT to drive through Tuscany because of the heat inside the van, so we missed out on 1/3 of this tour. After Florence, we continued in the hot van to Pisa, then back to our cruise ship. This tour was okay with the guide in Florence. Every minute in that hotbox of a van was almost human cruelty. The driver continued to say the air was on, but it was just blowing air, not air conditioning. We made the most of this hot day but would never recommend this tour company to anyone.
