Pierino was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide for our Livorno walking tour. Being born and raised in Livorno, as well as being a high school teacher provided a wonderful history lesson. He pointed out the old partial remaining walls that were not bombed in WWII as well as the underground canals. It was a fascinating tour. It ended with some of the best espresso and cappuccino in Italy! I highly recommend Pierino. He also does tours in Florence and Tuscany wine tours.

Pierino was an excellent local host who was very knowledgeable of Linorno history and an excellent tour guide.

My husband and I went on this tour in early June and it was fantastic! Pierino was wonderful and so knowledgeable. We lucked out and were the only people on the tour. We learned so much about Italy from Pierino, more than any other tour we went on. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour with Pierino, who is kind, passionate about his town, and he was easy to understand and to get along with. He recommended a restaurant for lunch.

As luck would have it, my husband and I were the only 2 people on the tour of Livorno, and it was great. Pierino was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, who was from Livorno, and gave us a lot of interesting information. We had a lovely 2 hours with him and would recommend this tour for those interested in history

We really enjoyed our walking tour. Our tour guide Pierno( not sure spelled correctly) he was very nice and informative. We learned a lot of very interesting facts about the very historical City of Livourno. I would recommend taking this tour. I’m betting we had the best tour guide you employ. Dave and Kathy Phillips

He cancelled on me. I thought it would be good but he cancelled on me. I have to fill in 100 characters to tell you this.

We really enjoyed our tour. We didn’t know anything really about Livorno before this so we found that we really got to know its history from the tour. Great guide in Pierino!
