Our guide Diego was imagine . Over all everything went was perfect.
Wow! Mind Blown!
This will be a memory that lasts a lifetime! Do not hesitate to book this private 10 hour tour of beautiful Tuscany & Pisa! Diego was outstanding and went out of his way to show us so much more than we expected. He was patient, kind, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for his job and love for his country truly shine through in everything he does. This tour exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for this unforgettable experience.
Mario is the best.
Mario was the most professional and personal guide we have ever had. His love for Italy was infectious. I became ill and Mario treated me like part of his family. He call his daughter who is a doctor twice for advice for my nausea. He drove me back to my hotel and then continued with the tour with my family. He followed up with my family to make sure I was doing well. My entire family consider Mario as part of our USA family. Thank you Mario.
Wonderful experience!
Andrea went above and beyond for an unforgettable experience. He happily recommended options to us when we requested a variation in our day, gave us the history of each area and planned the most beautiful lunch at an exquisite winery. He was prompt for pick up and our day was seamless and so enjoyable not having to plan anything - it was truly a wonderful day for my husband and myself. Would highly recommend!
