Great Day in Florence! - Great tour company. Easy to book. Great service. Clean and modern cars. Fair price. Top Drivers/Tour Guide. Thank you Maria Clara for our family great day in Florence.

Great Tour--Great Guide - We had 8 tour guides while on our trip to Spain, France & Italy and Maria Clara was by far the best guide we had. She was charming and knowledgeable and had an excellent command of the English language. I was experiencing some back pain and she was more than accommodating and sympathetic. We not only talked about the history of the area but also shared a little about our lives and common experiences. You would be very lucky to have Maria Clara as your tour guide to this amazing and beautiful region.

Terrific Tuscany tour! - If you are coming on a cruise ship to the area, I would highly recommend using Nicola Scovenna Tours instead of a ship excursion. The individualized attention and custom designed tour was such a better value. We all had a wonderful time with Paolo on our tour. He was so attentive and made everything on our tour “to do” list possible; from seeing The Leaning Tower in Pisa to finding wine windows in Florence, visiting Academia , and making a reservation at an authentic Italian restaurant. Even when the museum was running behind on our scheduled entry time, he called Trattoria Sostanza to let them know. We felt very comfortable with him and appreciated his efforts. Now I am back home in the States, but will definitely use this company again for any future travels to theTuscany region.

A wonderful day with a highly knowledgeable driver/guide from our ship in Livorno to the Cinque Terra and return. - Nick met us near the steps from our ship and drove us in a very comfortable Mercedes minivan. He is both the driver and a very knowledgeable guide and asked us what our interest was in touring the CinqueTerra in order to craft a personalized tour. He arranged for a guide to meet us and escort us throughout our day. Lisa, our guide, helped us get tickets for the ferry on the way to Manarola and for the train upon our end of the trip and escorted us back to Nick. We were back to our ship in plenty of time before it sailed. Nick has excellent English and told us many interesting facts during our ride from the ship and our ride returning to our ship. We highly recommend this experience.

A trip of a lifetime! - To rate Nicola Scovenna a 5 out of 5 is an insult. They deserve at least a 10, but it wasn't a choice. After contacting Suzy we agreed on a package , getting us between 4 cities. She suggested turning the longest leg from Rome to Sienna into a day trip vs. just going from point A to point B. It was a memorable day with new friends. We made several stops along the way including Orvieto (with an awesome lunch), Pienza, Montepulciano and the De'Ricci wine cellar, and on to Sienna. The day couldn't have been better. Additional legs to Livorno and Florence (through Pisa)went better than planned, with helpful local history and suggestions of more places to explore along the way. All our drivers were professional, friendly and timely. Our experience couldn't have been better.

Relaxed & easy sightseeing in comfort! - We had a day out with Paolo to Pisa & Florence. The group was me & my husband and our 3 kids ages 15, 13 & 10. It was so easy! He collected us from the pier at 8.30am and had us back in plenty of time for the evening sailing. We had plenty of time in Pisa - nice & early to beat the crowds. Then to a view point above Florence and dropped off in Florence with a map, some great tips on where to go/not to go, advice on restaurants & cafes and a clear pick up point. He was pleasant, knowledgeable & friendly. It just made for such a relaxed and brilliant day out. Well worth the money which wasn’t much more than the 5 of us going on a cruise excursion with lots of other passengers on a coach. This felt very luxurious in comparison! We’d definitely use this company again!

A Journey Through Time and Tuscany with the Exceptional Maria - From the moment we met our guide, Maria, on the Florence & Pisa tour with Nicola Scovenna, we knew we were in for a remarkable experience. Maria, with her 30 years of guiding expertise and a lifetime of living in Tuscany, transformed our excursion into a deeply personal journey through the heart of this enchanting region. The tour was meticulously planned, ensuring a seamless day from our comfortable disembarkation in Livorno to each awe-inspiring stop. Maria’s passion for Tuscany shone brightly as she unveiled the wonders of Pisa, including the iconic Leaning Tower. Her storytelling brought to life the rich tapestry of history and science that shapes this region, appealing to our keen interest in science. It was fascinating to learn about the significant scientific contributions from Tuscany, making every moment educational and engaging. As we ventured into Florence, Maria’s intimate knowledge of the city’s streets led us to marvel at landmarks like the majestic Duomo and the historic Ponte Vecchio. Her local perspective unveiled hidden gems and stories that only a true Tuscan could share. The visit to the Basilica of Santa Croce was particularly moving, surrounded by the legacies of great minds. What set this tour apart was Maria herself. Her warmth and expertise did not just show us Tuscany; they let us feel its pulse and understand its soul. By the tour’s end, Maria wasn’t just a guide; she had become a cherished friend, embodying the spirit of Italian hospitality. This tour with Maria is not just a day trip; it’s a gateway to understanding why Tuscany is so beloved. We left with hearts full of memories and a promise to ourselves to return to this magical land. To those considering this tour: prepare to be captivated, educated, and utterly enchanted by Tuscany and the incomparable Maria.

Arrange your ground tour with Nicola S instead of the the ship organised tour - Our tour is for Pisa and Florence in oct 23 from theport of Livorno. The vehicle was a merc that can easily fit 6. The drive was amazing especially through the Tuscany region. Paolo our driver was very friendly, spoke excellent English and most of all very knowledgeable on the places we visited. For a family of three, the tour was a real value for money compared to the bus tour organised by the cruise ship (Celebrity X). Paolo waited for us within walking distance from the ship and bring us back within the time allocated- 8 hours. The best part is, there was no time wasted as compared to big tour group. The communication/ any queries with Nicola Scovena was promptly answered. Very professionally. We had an amazing time.

Amazing service! - It was a great experience to work with Nicola. He came highly recommended from a friend. After emailing with Susy, she understood my hopes for our time in Rome, Pisa and Florence and helped us in every way! Susy communicates well and makes you feel confident that all the details are being captured. We enjoyed all of the details that Susy, Nicola and Luca put together for us! Everything was perfect and the timing was like clock-work! Highly recommend to use Nicola and if it is something that they can make happen, they will!

Great personal tour! - We had a great tour of Pisa and Florence! Maria Clara was our tour guide and went above and beyond with our group! One member of our group had some mobility issues and she made so many accommodations so everyone could have a good time!
