“What a wonderful day in Pisa! Everything went smoothly and efficiently. Our bus driver, Sam, got us there and back safely in a clean, comfortable bus. Our local guide, Sara, spoke beautiful English. She was funny and informative. Cecily, our guide on the bus, spoke both English and Spanish. She too, gave us a lot of information and kept us up-to-date as to what would be happening when. The Square of Miracles was beautiful. We toured the cathedral, and I climbed the 257 steps to the bell section of the tower. Meanwhile, my aunt strolled the market area and had a spritz! We both were happy with the experience! Recommend!”
From Florence, ride an air-conditioned Gran Turismo bus into Chianti for vineyard walks, a vinegar cellar visit, seven wine tastings, Tuscan snacks and olive oils. Guides such as Chiara, Emma and Jordano add regional stories, while the half-day format suits busy itineraries.
“This was a well organized and fun half-day trip. Chiara, the tour guide, and the driver, Silvestro, were wonderful. The winery stop was lovely and welcoming. Nice wines and small bites of food to understand the pairings. Zero pressure to buy. Second stop in Radda was gorgeous and a fun tasting at a restaurant again with small bites. Recommend bringing snacks with you because there is little time to eat a meal.”
Pick a gallery, a kitchen or a road out of town.
