Our first trip to Italy and we were fortunate to find PEK Tuscany In Limo and build a trip of a lifetime. We contacted their team by email and were immediately met with…” how can we help make this trip special and perfect for the two of you?”. Andrea listened to every word and built the tour with the things that were important to us. He sent the perfect guide, Stefano, to take us to Volterra, San Gimignano and the Chianti region. The limo picked us up directly from our hotel and the adventure began! The only frame of reference we had was the movies and YouTube videos, and the PEK team blew that away. Our visit to Volterra was filled with history, San Gimignano was filled with towers and beauty, however, sitting at a table overlooking a Tuscan valley (with San Gimignano as the backdrop) drinking the most spectacular wine, is the memory we will treasure. Andrea chose the winery for their amazing wine, of course, but their hospitality and attention to detail was spot on! The day was more than we could have imagined, and Stefano was the perfect guide for our first journey in Tuscany. We would highly recommend using PEK for private or group tours, and we will definitely contact their team on our next visit to Italy!
