Tuscany Wine Tasting & Day Trip from Florence - My friends and I had the most amazing day with Dany! There was a group of 6 of us all together out on a day trip from Florence to the Tuscan countryside. Dany was highly recommended to us from my sister who had used his services a couple years prior and we are so happy she told us about Tuscan Heart! Dany was extremely thoughtful and knowledgable. We had so much fun with him and you can tell he really enjoys what he does! He took us on a perfectly planned day tour trip to a few little towns, set up an amazing winery tour/tasting and made sure to stop at interesting sites along the way for us. If I am ever back in Tuscany, I will for sure be using Tuscan Heart tours again!

Cruise Passengers with Two Wonderful Days in the Tuscan Region - We had a phenomenal time with our tour guide Dany from Tuscan Heart. We were on a Norwegian Mediterranean Cruise that docked in Livorno for two days and we did not want to spend the days surrounded by large numbers of cruise passengers. After doing online research, we found Dany. The meet up at the cruise port was seamless. He whisked us off in his nice Mercedes van and off we went to explore the region. He communicated with me ahead of time (in perfect English) and crafted tours for two days to meet the interests of the six of us in our party. The first day he took us to Florence and Pisa so we could see all the amazing sites. He gave us tips about the best vantage points for photos and where to get the best pastries and cappuccino. Since we had a smaller vehicle, he was able to park close to everything, so we got in and out of places easily unlike the big tour buses. As we drove, Dany provided us with information about everything we were seeing. On day two Dany took us to the Chianti region. We went to Greve and a small town with 100 residents. He showed us all the hidden treasures in these small towns which we appreciated. We had time to shop by the medieval porticoes and the grocery stores and ended up at Casa Emma winery where we had delicious food including olive oil tasting and wonderful wine. Dany was a great tour guide and so funny as well. The whole process was easy and the communication was excellent. He said in the 20 years he has been a guide in the Tuscan region, he has never been late getting folks back to the cruise port so that put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend a private tour with Dany. I felt bad for all the other cruise passengers as we drove by and saw them all crammed on a tour bus.

Still the Best guide in Tuscany! - This is the second time Dany guided us in Tuscany. After receiving excellent service in 2017, he guided our group of two couples again last week when our cruise ship arrived in Livorno. Dany timely picked us up at the port and, after visiting San Gimignano for some shopping and beautiful Tuscan scenery, he delivered us to a wonderful hilltop private winery called Casa Emma in the Chianti Region for a private and informative tour. The wine tasting and lunch were fabulous and reasonably priced. On the way back to the port, Dany stopped by the immaculately maintained American Cemetery in Florence, so we could pay our respects. Dany planned the entire full-day excursion. He has a nice Mercedes van; speaks perfect English; and is funny, friendly and informative. His services are not only reasonably priced but he is a great guide, who is now a friend. We were lucky to have him again.

An amazing excursion!! - We had the most amazing Tuscan experience with Nicoletta on this tour! It was exactly what we wanted after spending the previous day amongst the masses in Rome. Our first stop was in Pisa for an hour (more or less if you desire- it’s your tour) which was perfect to walk the grounds and get some great pictures. Afterwards, it was off to the countryside to visit a quaint village to include a castle and a family owned/run pasta making company! Last, it was off to a small winery where we experienced the most amazing lunch (bring a hearty appetite) with wine pairing! Everything was perfect and we are so glad to have selected this trip for the perfect Tuscan experience away from the crowds! Definitely recommend!!

Amazing Private Guided Tour Experience! - We had an incredible experience on this full-day Pisa private guided tour with a visit to a local wine farm. Our guide, Val, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to every detail. This tour was exactly what we were looking for, offering a personalized experience away from the usual crowds and large group excursions. The small-town charm, combined with the intimate setting of the wine farm, made for an unforgettable day. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a unique and peaceful experience in Tuscany!

Incredible experience - Incredible experience! Driver was there to meet us on time and it was a comfortable space only our family and he also provided waters it was great that it’s a private experiences so we don’t have to deal with waiting around for others, etc. after we were taken to the city, which was enough time to see what there was we made our way to the wine tour and it exceeded our expectations with the experience and the hospitality. We were afraid our kids(4 and 9) were going to be bored but they absolutely loved everything from the tour to picking fresh fruit to the olive oil. They didn’t want to leave at the end and said it was one the best places they have ever been. Highly recommend

Real Tuscany wine experience! - Highlight of our 3 week trip! What an awesome time our family had with Valerio, he was such an informative guide as well as a sweetheart! After the tour of the leaning tower of Pisa, he took us to the small town of Lari for the cherry festival! We enjoyed hanging with the locals! Valerio then took us to a quaint wine farm with the wonderful hostess Maria Theresa! The wine and lasagna were so amazing, we shipped it home! Benissimo! We even taught them the silly NJ song: 'Cut the Mozzarella'! Thank you so much, Valerio, for this wonderful experience! Che Dio vi benedica!

Lose the crowds and relax - This was our favorite shore excursion . Our driver Val was amazing and by the end of the tour was part of the family. The scenery at the farm was beautiful and the family that runs the farm and tour were friendly and kind. The only thing I would advise is to lock in the price of the wine tasting and meal before the tour so there are no surprises.

Amazing experience - Dany and Miko were amazing! The tour started with a brief drive through Livorno and our guides had excellent information and made us want to return to the port city itself. Pisa was fun, however the highlight of the trip was the vineyard and the small town we visited. Dany showed us a small village that was seemingly untouched by tourists. It was quiet and beautiful with breathtaking views. The vineyard experience was wonderful as well. We were treated to a private meal and wine tasting. After the crowds on our cruise it was nice to sit with our family and have a nice conversation. The vineyard staff was kind and accommodating. They even took the time to take flowers from their personal garden and make a tiara for our daughter. An unexpected and wonderful treat. Also, the food was fantastic. We can’t recommend this tour enough!

Great! - Great moment outside the big cities and connecting with nature and local friendly people. Thank you!
