I had an absolutely fantastic photoshoot experience with Ken during my trip to Florence. From the moment we met, he made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed, which is not always easy when you’re in front of a camera! Ken has such a kind, professional presence and a great eye for capturing candid moments that feel natural and genuine. He knew exactly where to go for the best light and the most beautiful Florence backdrops — spots I never would have found on my own. The whole session felt effortless and fun, and he offered great direction without anything feeling posed or stiff. The photos turned out beautifully — warm, elegant, and truly reflective of the atmosphere of the city. They’re some of my favorite images from my travels, and I’m so grateful to have them. I highly recommend booking with Ken if you’re visiting Florence. He is talented, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. This experience was absolutely worth it!

Sarah, our guide, was excellent. She provided history of the region in three languages, was personable, helpful and accompanied us on the highlights of each destination. Giovanni, our driver, was wonderful as well. Great sense of humor, excellent driver, wonderful host. The destinations spoke for themselves, reflecting their own beauty. Would highly recommend the tour.

After the frenetic activities in Firenze, San Miniato and the truffle experience were a wonderful relief. The quiet villa and grounds were spectacular, and our guide/interpreter was quite knowledgeable. But the highlight for us was Aries (the truffle dog) and Francesca, the proprietor and truffle hunter. After finding two white truffles, we were treated to a delicious truffle meal, paired with local wines. After lunch, we were given the opportunity to purchase small truffle items like their own truffle crème and truffle infused olive oil. The entire experience was delightful and delicious. Also, of note, I was able to do the gentle walk with a three month old knee replacement. And, the town San Miniato is but a short train trip from Florence, where you are met by a taxi driver. It is worth it!!

This was an amazing activity for me, the man at the shop (“Uvo”) gave me great suggestions to visit on my outing. Well worth the money in my opinion. I headed out to the countryside and visited a vineyard and other medieval towns about 30 km from Florence.

We were so happy with our tour of Florence and Pisa. Alessio was a wonderful driver—so informed about both cities and all of Italy, but he has a genuine, graceful enthusiasm for the beauty and history of the areas. He wanted to make sure we didn’t miss things, but was not pushy about what we had to see. On a practical level, the van was really nice and it made the stops so easy. If we needed more time or needed to change the rendezvous spot, he was incredibly accommodating. We hadn’t purchased tickets in advance to the Accademia Gallery to see David and he walked us through buying them online and coordinated our pickup time to our ticket time. We did Rome without a driver and the difference was remarkable. We also did official cruise-line sponsored large group excursions on this trip and this was much, much better. 

Our experience with this transfer service was nothing short of exceptional. After a 3-hour flight delay and a missed connection that resulted in a 2-hour train delay, we arrived in Florence nearly five hours behind schedule. Despite all this, the transfer team made an exception and patiently waited for us. Their kindness and professionalism were unmatched. We were a group of six, including my 80-year-old mother, and the driver went above and beyond to ensure her comfort—he gently assisted her into the car first, which meant a great deal to us. It was close to 100°F outside, and stepping into the cool, perfectly climate-controlled vehicle felt like an oasis after 20 hours of travel. The team helped us with all our luggage and welcomed us with genuine warmth. It was a moment of pure relief—every bit of stress, fatigue, and tension melted away the instant we were picked up. This was hands down the most courteous, professional, and thoughtful transfer service I have ever used. Highly, highly recommended.

What an enjoyable way to spend an evening in the charming Oltranro neighbourhood. Our food and wine experience with Serena was a highlight of our Italian adventure. Our small group tour was fun and entertaining with delicious food and great company. Highly recommended.

So much fun! Highly recommend. The worker there is a super nice guy, very helpful. I feel i was comfortable on the Vespa due to having driven a motorcycle for many years, so it may be daunting for some, but I saw him explain everything in detail to other users. Gave a map with some suggestions to go to. Highlight of our time in Florence for sure. was nice to escape the city. Getting out of the city on that thing was a challenge, but otherwise was super fun to drive!
