Fabulous Private tour from La Spezia cruise port to Florence and Pisa! - Florence and Pisa Private Guide Review
We absolutely loved our experience with this tour, especially thanks to our wonderful driver/guide, Davide! Having grown up in the area and coming from a legacy family of tour guides, Davide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. He made the long drive fly by with his friendly personality and insightful commentary. His vehicle was immaculate, comfortable, and perfectly cool on a hot summer day—exactly what we needed.
In Florence, we were introduced to our walking guide, Elisa, who brought the city’s rich history and art to life with depth and passion. She offered fascinating insights, particularly about Michelangelo and the statue of David, giving us a new level of appreciation. Elisa was also incredibly thoughtful—she adjusted the pace to suit our group, helped us navigate through the crowds with ease, and used her guide pass to help us skip the long museum lines. Her recommendations for shopping and lunch were spot-on and made our visit feel even more special.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful, comfortable, and personalized experience in Florence and Pisa. Davide and Elisa made it unforgettable!

Beware on what you get on a private tour - Our guide and driver were wonderful! Super informative and we had a great time and learned a lot! This is why I gave a high number of stars. However, we paid a lot of money and did not get what I asked for. It was very confusing when chosing a tour. I emailed Viator and asked them specifically for everything I wanted. They suggested a private tour so that's what I did. It was way expensive and I didn't get everything I asked for. Even our guide said that's what I asked for. I'm not very happy with Viator on this tour.

The only way to see Florence - Both our driver and our tour guide were wonderful! They made sure we had a great experience and saw everything we wanted to see. David even gave us a quick tour of Livorno on our way back to the ship, and we loved the town!

Excellent day in Florence and Pisa - What a great day in Florence and Pisa! By far, our best day of the trip! Emanuel was our driver. He was so pleasant and kind and got us around in style. Laura was our private tour guide in Florence. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history and art or Florence. I would highly recommend them both!

Fabulous excursion... highly recommend! - This excursion was wonderful! It was a combination driving / walking tour that provided us with a full day of experiencing Florence. Simon was our guide and his love for his city and knowledge of history made the tour that much more enjoyable. We booked this excursion independent of the cruise we were on. Simon was prompt at pick-up and returned us to the port in plenty of time to return to the ship. Highly recommend!

Great way to see Florence - would do this tour again. - Great day! Tour company was very flexible. The driver, Enzo, changed our route so that we could see Pisa. The driver was also able to park the car VERY close to all the sites, which minimized our walking in the heat, if that is important to you. The guide was nice and very knowledgable. Be aware that you need to check the app for messages from the tour company as timing does change, as it did for several of our tours. Something to consider if you have limited connectivity on a cruise ship.

Great Day in Florence - This was a great trip. Our guide Laura was great and she adjusted the tour based on the lines and the needs of the group.
Was able to see a ton of Florence and was able to see David.
We were also able to see PIsa as well and get back to the ship.
Mateo our driver was fantastic!
