The perfect excursion for those who want to plan a bespoke itinerary with flexibility. Teresa was superb. Calm, efficient and friendly. So caring and able to pivot the itinerary with multiple suggestions. Can’t recommend this company enough. Seamless communication. Would absolutely book again.

A fabulously dreamy day in Pisa and Florence

Janet_J, Sep 2024

What a fabulous day! Diego took our family exactly where we wanted to go. He was waiting for us at the port and took us immediately to his van for our adventure. He drove us to Pisa and showed us not only the famous area, but also around the city itself to give us a bit more than just the tourist spot. He then drove us to Florence. On the way, he showed us a beautiful Tuscan winery. He gave us time to take photos and walk around. As we drove into the city of Florence, he gave us historical and current information of the area. He took us to the best areas to photograph the city. Then, he gave us a few hours to do what we wanted in the city. He drove the area first, and then let us out for a few hours to walk around and do what we wanted. That gave us an opportunity to get our bearings before we started trying to walk the city. His restaurant suggestion was perfection. We had booked a guided tour so we could see the Michelangelo David. He took us there and made sure we were completely set before letting us do our thing. On the way back to port, he obliged my indulgence and took us to a gelatoria. Diego took such care of us and made sure we had an incredibly wonderful day. He is very personable and we felt like we had made a friend. He was so very flexible and accommodating with our agenda. I would do it all over again. THANK YOU DIEGO!!

Best way to experience a lot on a little cruise day

Sig_S, Jul 2024

Sara our guide and driver was informative, energetic, and fun. From port to Pisa to Florence to port is a lot of road travel and she made it seem effortless. We knew what we wanted which allowed Sara to use the time efficiently. We will be back to Florence for the arts, culture, food, and shopping for a longer stay next time. The Florence city center was the highlight. Wish we spent more time there but now we know. Book this tour with this company - Tuscany Taste Tour di Maurizio Mancini. They provided an excellent onshore experience. Thank you Sara and Maurizio!

Vincenzo was a great driver that knew all the best routes and suggested a terrific lunch spot. Great day!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Grazie!

Excellent service! Worth every penny!

Seth_O, Jun 2024

Our guide was excellent! He was on-time for pickup, at each stop, and the return to the cruise ship. He provided history and information for each stop and very useful tips for which areas to visit at a certain times to avoid the crowds. Our excursion would have been a complete failure without him!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thanks Seth!

Absolutely amazing!!!

Chinyere_E, Aug 2022

If you only have a day to see Pisa and Florence from the Carrara Port and you love luxury and certain comforts in life, then this is the tour for you. This was worth every dollar/euro spent. Our driver/mini-guide (Guiliano) was very engaging and knowledgeable, and he was such a gracious host to us. As it was a private tour, we were able to customize certain aspects to our own personal interests/needs. Love, love love!!
