We had a great Ferrenci experience with Allesandro who is a great and very talented tour guide. We are definitely going to use him again. Keep up the good work and take care of the horse. The driver Marco is also amazing and very mindful of time. Kudos yo both! Thank you much! Nanette & Rene New Jersey, USA

Liverpool to Florence Tour

This tour was well worth the money. Alessandro, our guide, was exceptional. He was funny, kind, knowledgable, and patient. He provided us with a lot of info and was able to get us a 50% discount at the leather store. He used a stick pony as his "flag", so he was very easy to spot and follow! Marco, our driver, took great care of us, we were never concerned.for our safety! I HIGHLY recommend this company!

A Day in Florence

Alessandro was a terrific guide!! Great information, gave us plenty of time to explore on our own, fantastic recommendations for lunch and gelato and just a really nice person!! Our bus driver, Luciano, also did a great job safely transporting us from the ship/port to Florence.
