Tour operator did not show & no calle

Jamie_D, Oct 2025

Arrived at the tour location on time. Tour operator did not show. Left us along with 7 other customers stranded without a tour! This tour was booked months in advance and none of us were notified that they were not showing up. Do not recommend this tour operator. Extremely unprofessional!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Jamie, Thank you for sharing your opinion. I am sorry for what happened, but I would like to point out that we sent you an email informing you that the tour you booked was not operational. Please check your spam folder. Kind regards, Davide

Great visit to Tuscany for a day

Bonita_F, Sep 2025

What a great experience! First of all, we were those people that were confused about what tour company we were with and ended up being 2 minutes late - thanks for waiting for us. Our tour guide Giovanni was absolutely great. He was kind and patient with everyone and kept us all informed and entertained throughout the whole day. We got a very good look at the countryside around Tuscany and had more than enough time to wander around the 2 towns that we stopped in. The lunch was really good and the 2 wines we tried were both enjoyed by all, with some enjoying each more than the other. Overall it was a very enjoyable day.

A “must do” when in Rome!

Kristen_K, Sep 2025

The bus was clean and comfortable, our guide Giovanni was FANTASTIC, funny, and very knowledgeable. The sites are beautiful, the pasta meal provided was one of the best things we ate our entire trip. A must do!

Double thumbs up!!

If you really want to experience Italy outside Rome this tour is must. Our guide Giovanni with ‘double N’ was a great host and companian. He organised the tour so smoothly that too speaking English and Spanish simultaneously. The tour offers surreal views of Tuscany, brilliant lunch and optimum time to explore the medieval towns. Highly recommended for couples looking for some great time without the hustle!
