Book NOW!!! You'll thank me later. - Andrew met our group of 4 at the pier and our adventure started out on the right foot. A couple in our party had not eaten breakfast so Andrew found us a little place in Livorno filled with locals where we had delicous breakfast sandwhiches and pastries at prices you won't find in the States. The beautiful drive to Florence was filled with Andrew describing the geography and culture intermixed with personal stories. Once in Florence, Andrew gave us 3 options to see this amazing city: 1) drop us off at a central area and allow us to roam on our own for a few hours; 2) drive us to key sites and give us time to explore before heading to the next; and 3) park the van and Andrew could join us for a personal tour of the key ites of Florence. We chose #2. Around noon, Andrew took us to an amazing restaurent which he'd made us reservations. After a few hours in the city, Andrew drove us up the picturesque Chianti hills to the San Vito winery. Andrew handed us off to Neri who explained in detail the process of making Chianti wine then we had several samples and made a few purchases. Following, Andrew shuttled us back to the port ending an amazing day. I could not give a higher recomendation!!! Andrew and his company could not have been better. His flexibility to cator our tour to our best needs was the cherry on top. Did I mention that I walked by Jeff Goldbloom on a narrow Florence street??? lol

Best Excursion Ever - If there was a way to give 6 stars I would! Our guide listened to what we wanted to see and made it happen in the perfect way! We got close to all the sight seeing venues, he found a small restaurant that was amazing and we ended the day with a private winery tour. He was not only knowledgeable but interesting to talk to!!!!!!!!!! There are not enough good words to say about our day in Florence.

Balanced day in Florence and in Tuscany Hills! - Our private tour began with easy pick up from our Livorno cruise ship terminal. Met by our guide/driver Andreas right on time, we headed to Florence via a very scenic route, passing fields of sunflowers and through the picturesque Tuscan hills. We arrived in Florence, stopping at a beautiful overlook of the city. We proceeded into the city center, parked the van, and headed out for our walking tour. We covered all the sights from the exterior as we did not have enough time to do the Uffizi Gallery, etc. we had read about the amazing sandwiches at Allantico… lived up to the hype!! After lunch we headed up to the small country winery for a tasting, which was very enjoyable though the wines did not suit our palates. We returned to the ship around 5:15. Why 4 stars? The van needed new shock absorbers so passengers in the back really felt every bump. I recommend they offer clients chilled bottled water as on other our private tours…none was offered. The guide could add more in-depth historical information when describing the major sights in Florence. All in all, we enjoyed our personalized day very much.
