Our tour guide and owner was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. He let us make our own itinerary and did not rush us. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with Tuscany Top Drivers. Marco is so knowledgeable, friendly, fun and flexible! He was willing to change our tour several times to meet our needs. He made all the reservations so we could relax and enjoy our day. We would definitely recommend him and his company. Thank you Marco and if you ever make it to Chicago please let us know. We would love to return the favor!

During our honeymoon, my husband and I hired Marco for multiple private day trips out of Florence to explore the Tuscany region. We are beyond glad that we did this because Marco was an amazing driver and guide. He was responsive, professional, punctual, knowledgeable, charming and courteous. Marco thoughtfully arranged private wine tastings and lunches for us so that we really did not have to do anything on these days except sit back, relax and enjoy. Even after our trip, he graciously helped us make reservations at a winery for our friends visiting Italy later in June. We highly recommend Marco if you are looking for a private driver to coordinate perfect days for you in Tuscany!

Marco was amazing! He had so much information about the history,the people, and the wines of the area. Highly recommend him, so much better than taking a bus tour with 50-60 other people. Marco knew all the scenic places to stop for picture taking that you won't get on a bus tour. Well worth the money! Thank you, Marco, it was a great day!

There are not enough great things I can say about our Tour with Becky. He was professional and very knowledgeable about the area. He took us to 1 wineary and then a tasting with a lunch at another local wineary. This was the best experience I have had in Tuscany and would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing experience in Tuscany. I plan on being back soon!

<p>Wonderful private tour of Chianti and Montalcino. This is a private tour and gives you the flexibility to do pretty much whatever you want. My wife and I wanted to focus on wineries and Belki pretty sure I misspelled his name was wonderful. He took the time to set up the tours, and even added one after he picked us up. He was also very knowledgeable about the region and Italy in general. Highly recommend spending the money for this tour if you're interested in good wine and seeing sights off the beaten path.</p>

<p>Very beautiful and enjoyable day. Driver/guide arrived on time in a beautiful luxury van. He was very proper and polite. The wine tasting was lovely. The villages were gorgeous. The only advice is be prepared to spend a lot of time in the car. The villages are extremely far from Florence and from each other. at least 4 hours were spent in the car. It was beautiful but not sure if it was wort the drive.</p>
