Pisa e Firenze

Our tour guide was Francesco, who was absolutely fabulous. Very knowledgeable. We spent all our time around Florence which is just beautiful. We used JoeBananaLimo private tours. The tours can be expensive but are worth every penny. We also did a JoeBananaLimo tour in Naples. We did the Amalfi Coast, also excellent, with Antonio.

This is our 3rd time booking with Joe Banana Tours and we were not disappointed. Francesco met us at the ship on time with a luxury van for the 6 of us. We first went to Pisa and on the way, he told us stories of the Tuscan life, food, history, etc. What a site! It was never really on my bucket list, but it was on one of our groups, but so glad I saw it. Overwhelming. We were lucky to get there early before the big groups got there so we got wonderful pictures. From there we went to Lucca. Amazing little town and we'll go back! Francesco gave us the sites to see on our own, and we were able to roam the streets and get wonderful pictures. Leaving Lucca we traveled to Florence, stopping at the best sights for pictures. He continued educating us on Florence. He recommended a spot for lunch and phoned ahead to make sure they could accommodate us. It was delicious!! Since we didn't have time to do museums, he suggested we visit a local winery in Chianti and SO GLAD we did! We were the only ones there and they gave us a tour of the winery and we had wonderful tastings. The wines were delicious and several of us purchased bottles. It was a great deviation from the crowds of Florence and an opportunity to see the countryside! Francesco got us back to the ship in plenty of time and we had a really delightful day with him. Once again Joe Banana tours took special care of us & we thoroughly enjoyed Francesco!

We got to see everything we wanted and rate our driver, guide, and total 9-hour tour experience as excellent. This was day 1 of 3 for my family & me with Joe Banana Limos. We were on a cruise and hired them for all 3 city stops in Italy. I can only rave about the drivers and guides. Also, I want to mention Marianna who was my connection to the company while I was deciding on what to book. She was so kind and patient with me while I made up my mind. Bottom line - wonderful company. Don't hesitate to hire then.

We were picked up at the cruise port and taken on a magnificent journey to Florence. Along the way we were educated about all the Tuscan sites and when we got to Florence we were provided with a magnificent tour and also had time on our own to explore. The driver also coordinated lunch at Perseus ...which was on my husband's bucket list. We loved this tour so much we booked them again for Rome.

All I can say is words are not enough for this beautiful amazing city stunning fun vibrant ! The architecture history people food landmarks you need space and time to soak it all in I want to go every day in fact I’d live there very happily this place oozes Italy with a capital I !! It was one of the most fantastic cities I have ever had the pleasure of visiting there were 4 of us and let’s just say we are loud happy ladies but on the first view of the stunning city skyline we were like stunned mullets silent and in awe !! Probably the first time we have been speechless ! Go enjoy and take this fantastic city in !

We had a wonderful day with Alex. He was very courteous and professional and did what he could to make sure we were able to make the most of our one day seeing the sights of Florence and Pisa. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you book your Italy tours with Joe Bananas Tours. Seriously you will not be disappointed!!
