Wonderful - Our driver and guide were Luigi and Yara, they were very prompt in pick up and gave us excellent information en route to our destination. Wonderful time in Pisa and Florence, it was short but we knew that going in. Glad we booked this tour as it gave us an overview of the destinations and the drive to and fro was very scenic through the Tuscany countryside.

Excellent tour, would definitely do again - Probably one of our favorite tours. The small group is so much nicer than the bus tours you are able to spend more time at locations with an easier flow of not waiting for anyone that doesn’t get back on time. Alex and our driver did a great job at explaining the history around Florence and Pisa along with key points throughout the drive. Super friendly and one of the highlights of our trip.

Great tour to Pisa and Florence - Our guide Yara and driver Valentine were exceptional in every respect. What an asset to the company! Yara provided a perfect balance of guiding and allowing the experience at Pisa to happen seamlessly. She is knowledgeable and has a lovely manner, making the drive pass quickly and creating a pleasant atmosphere. Valentine’s driving skills ensured we were there safely and quickly. There was a lot of walking in Florence as per the tour description and the local guide was knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour. Thanks again Yara!

Dynamic and delightful Day - Our lovely guide Guilia and our driver Daniele were excellent! She explained everything about Pisa and its wonderful history. Then on to Florence where we strolled thru the city then saw the statue of David. Guilia led us to a nice restaurant and the small group of 6 was perfect. Only downside was no time to shop for souvenirs @ Pisa, but I will go back again on this tour! An absolutely awe inspiring day! Loved it!

Beautiful tour, wonderful experience - Our tour guide Guilia and driver Daniele were FANTASTIC!!!! Picking us up/dropping off is a huge plus as most tours don't provide that. We drove through to Pisa and then to Florence. Guilia taught us so much about Pisa and why the tower leans. She then led us to Florence where we met with another wonderful guide who took us through the town and to see the statute of David. They were all professional, knowledgable and a great day. I would recommend this tour and can't wait to book it again!

Great Day Trip - This tour was great at seeing the main highlights in Pisa and Florence, which is exactly what we wanted to for a day trip! Our tour guide, Rashi, did a wonderful job at showing us around, giving us the history of each location, and offered to take our picture everywhere. We liked that the events were planned for us, but that we also had free time in each town to explore a bit. Highly recommend if you want an easy way to see the biggest sights in Pisa and Florence!
