Sabrina: Excellent Guide. The good: punctual, deliver what they promise, transfer to both sites, food. To improve: 51 people on the same bus with 3 different languages (English, French and Spanish) It is not an excursion that takes you to each of the important points, it takes you to the cities and they give you a map with the points that they recommend know. This same excursion with the shipping company cost 300 USD But that is clear in the description of the activity, so they do not break what they promise. If you want to learn or to be taken to each site, you are free visits, obviously at a higher cost Thank you very much!

Sabrina was the perfect guide we could not speak more highly of her. Organised friendly, helpful & professional. Went above & beyond to help everyone. We loved our tour of Pisa & Florence. Easy pick up point to find from port & returned to ship in great time. Could not be easier. Bus driver was also great. Thank you Sabrina We hope to return to Tuscany one day in the future & we will call in for a dinner of your Squid ink pasta Thanks again Nick & Samantha From Australia
