Our cruise changed the port of call to another port due to bad weather. GetYourGuide representative contacted me via WhatsApp on the change and the extra fee I had to pay coz the distance was longer. I was ok with that. Gave instructions on where to meet them. Guide was Alexander. He was excellent and very knowledgeable. However, I felt that he could have arranged to meet us at the entrance to Miracle Sq, Pisa, instead of arranging for us to walk back to the bus in the parking lot on our own. I wasn’t sure of the way and had to asked for directions along the way. A few others were also lost. Other than this all was good. We enjoyed ourselves.

Bus was on time getting back to the ship which was the most important thing for us. Martina was excellent at explaining where to go and what to see. She provided maps and directions. Spoke great English. The cruise line changed the port just the night before, but we received a notice from GetYourGuide and sure enough, they were there at the new port!

Not only is Laura a delightful person and good company, she is an excellent guide with an intimate knowledge of the area. She shares wonderful information about what you are seeing without going into over the top minutiae. A great day and a great tour. The best of our trip!!

Our guide had to cancel the trip due to covid. However, the tour company reached out to us and gave us the Pisa/Florence all day trip with no additional charge. We appreciate their proative apporoach and consideration.

Fantastic tour where we fully experienced beautiful Tuscany in a day. Massimo our tour guide was terrific and very knowledgeable. Just the right amount of time in each place with the winery tasting being a highlight.
