Great tour, without Guide - Great opportunity to see Florence and Pisa if staying in Rome. There is no guide as it is basically a van ride to the 2 cities. Our driver did not speak English which was a small problem in Florence. He let us out in a small neighborhood to go explore. However, we did not know what was ahead so stopped at first restaurant for an hour. Met some people who spoke English and they directed us down the street and around the corner where all the activity was. Looked on Google maps to find Statue of David. Ran out of time because we wasted an hour at the restaurant. At Pisa, very easy to know where to go and enough time to explore and enjoy. Driver was wonderful just needed better directions in Florence.

Enjoyable Trip but too much for 1 day. Florence in one day is enough. - Had a lovely day in Florence and Pisa. Both places are incredible with the architecture and the beautiful squares and lovely shops and scenary. The bus was great and we had time to stop and get Pizza and some wine in Pisa. I think though it is too much to do a trip to both in the same day. Florence was very rushed and no time to pop in anywhere or relax for coffee or get some shopping. The schedule is too tight. I would suggest break them up. Pisa is nice but not a lot for a day trip. I would love to see Florence again as felt I did not get to see a lot. So I would not recommend the day trip tour on that basis, unless there was an option just to do Florence from Rome in the 1 day. Met some lovely people and driver was nice. We were though told at the start the tour did not include a guide which was extra and whilst we missed it when booking I was a bit dissappointed as otherwise it just becomes a taxi ride to both.

Long day with stunning culture - I took this trip towards the end of a week in Rome and didn’t realise how long a day it would be. There were hassles organising the tour as they didn’t have the numbers. We ended up a very small tour (three) with a wonderful guide, who managed to fit so many iconic places into our short time in Florence. Really you need several days to see this incredible city. We stopped for a view over Florence that was just breathtaking. Pisa was beautiful but was more just a photo stop (I didn’t climb the tower). Definitely do the day if you don’t have the time - or spend at least overnight to be able to experience this stunning area properly.

Very stressful I have requested a refund. - Terrible experience. We did not have a guide or any information. We rode in a small van and were unloaded in Florence with no information. We went straight to train station and returned to Rome.

AVOID at all costs!!! - This is just a taxi service, and not a good one at that!!! You could get an Uber to drive you there for cheaper. This wasn't a good experience for us and I would recommend you avoid this 'tour' at all costs!!! We were dropped off at a random location outside the main tourist area of Florence and expected to find our own way to all of the listed places in the itinerary, and the driver proceeded to wait for us where he left us. It seemed like he had absolutely no knowledge of where to go and told us to use our GPS to find our way. We were very well aware that this was not a guided tour but we weren't even taken to the locations promised on this site. And the driver couldn't even come and fetch us from a closer location. When we got lost he sent us a pin and told us he is just a driver and not a tour guide. This is blatant FALSE ADVERTISING!!! To make matters worse, he was falling asleep behind the wheel. We gave him water to splash on his face and had to keep talking to him because we were afraid. Our lives were put in danger by the carelessness of the tour company and the driver. The drive back was extremely uncomfortable after these incidents but we had no choice. It was extremely nerve-wracking.

The worst experience in Rome - The worst experience I have ever had not in my travel to Italy but in all my travels around the world. My trip was on 22 April, they sent to me an email telling me that the trip was changed to April 21, but this was not a big problem to me. On 21 April the driver took me and another 6 travelers by a non comfortable minivan and after a 3 hours drive he dropped us in Florence in a square far away from the city center in front of the libreria nazionale and was about to leave us. He told us I am just a driver, my job is to leave all of you here, navigate in the city by your own and after 3 hours come back here and I will come to take you to Pisa.. We fought with him, l tolled him that you should take us to the places mentioned in the website of your company and in the voucher. He refused. I threatened him that I will call the police because we paid money for a certain service mentioned in the booking voucher and you through us in the street. He crossed the street to the other side and did some phone calls after that he came and said I will take you around the city according to the voucher. He took us to only 3 places in Florence just to have a look from outside then to one place in Pisa. Then back to Rome. We spent only few minutes in each place not enough to visit any of them. I will complain officially to viator company and to tourist information office in Rome. This is not a tourist company at all. A worst experience I have ever had in my life..

Worst small group "tour" ever - I would give it a zero star if that was possible. Our driver Umberto must have been in his late 60 or in his 70s. He couldn't see well or hear well. Drove drastically under the posted speed limit, couldn't stay in a lane, and at one point stopped at the fork on on a highway, he could have gotten us rear ended. He got us there in 5 hours, it should have been a 3 hours drive MAX. But, on the drive back to the hotel. He dropped us off at a location for his convenience and told us to us to use Google maps to get to where we wanted to go. Complete waste of money
