Traveler reviews
Honeymoon In Tuscany
Truly the best day of our Honeymoon. Yaris was a pleasure. Very intelligent and friendly, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Avoid this company
We had a nice tour of the Ligurian coast with this company and thought they'd be good to go with a second time. We had a much worse tour with a different guide but the same company the next day. Our 'tour guide' was really just a driver, he barely spoke to us, and didn't seem to speak much English anyway. He also drove slow, we were late and missed our second wine tasting out of two. He didn't seem to know our schedule and we seemed to spend more time driving than anything else. Also they made us pay extra at the end of the day for that privilege, demanding 70 euro cash when we got out. DO NOT make the mistake of dealing with this company. If you have to deal with this company, try not to get stuck with Giovanni.
Fun Time Tasting Cheese and Wine!
My husband and I had the best private tour of Tuscany eating amazing cheese and tasting incredible wine! Our guide Jonathan was enthusiastic and great company while we drove through beautiful towns in Tuscany! He was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging while showing us around the beautiful landscapes. We are very happy with this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a wonderful day learning about the architecture of the towns in Tuscany and about winemaking!! Thank you so very much Jonathan!
Tuscany beauty
Yaris, our guide, was superb. Friendly, fun, knowledgeable and helpful. Views of Tuscany breathtaking. Towns views were Pienza and Monticello which were picture postcard pretty
Wonderful Experience!
This was an excellent tour of the southern Tuscany region. Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino. The winery lunch and conversation was the best I’ve ever had.
