“Incredible and outstanding day trip, especially for the price! There is an exhilarating drive up to Mt. Vesuvius with daring slopes and turns, but our bus driver Cesare handled it so smoothly and I felt completely safe. Our guide at Pompeii, Ehnrico, was an absolute joy - he was funny and super knowledgeable. Our lead guide Natascia was very warm, friendly, and helpful with providing information about Rome and Pompeii. The lunch restaurant was beautiful and the food was filling and delicious. 100% recommend this day trip for anyone who doesn't wanna to stress over logistics!”
Review of a Florence day trip to San Gimignano, Siena, Monteriggioni, and Chianti with Tuscan lunch and wine tasting.
“This was a great way to experience Tuscany if you only have a day. Comfortable bus, great locations and the included lunch/wine tasting was fantastic. Tour guide Sandro was very informative. My only recommendation would be to shorten the time in Siena - it seemed over long and made the day very long.”

“Ado and Luca were excellent guides. Ado knows so much about the history of the area and is very passionate about sharing his knowledge with the group. The bus was excellent, very new and comfortable and the driver was excellent; drove very safely. My daughter (21) and I did this tour. The day was packed full with moving from one village to the next, and was a little too busy to try going for a swim but the beauty is incredible and I couldn’t have negotiated trains and sightseeing on our own, so this was a great option! We got it all in!!”

Review of the Florence to Cinque Terre day trip, covering four villages, trains, optional boat ride, lunch, cost, timing, and practical tips.
“The organization and logistics are complicated but brilliantly executed in our case. If you are lucky, you’ll get a guide like John and a bus driver like Mario? Both exceptional professionals. At first stop I could”not hear the instructions, and asked John to repeat them at the next stop which he did from then on. Using his white board which we could photo helped immensely. The company needs to provide portable microphones for the guides, they are not expensive. This is essentially a “guided transportation tour”, not a guided tour. Do not expect any background or history about the stops. Expect crowds of tourists, gobs of restaurants and souvenirs shops,…”
