We had an amazing time with Laila! She was so knowledgeable and funny. We felt like we really got to know the city, and were stuffed with delicious food when the tour ended. She introduced us to Stefano the bartender and we loved him too. Was a perfect day discovering small town Italy.

We were very disappointed in the tour and information we got when we booked. We were told that the tour was in our port and it was an hour ++ away. As a result we were not able to make it. So please ensure your booking agents give customers correct info.

Unfortunately we had to cancel the tour as our cruise ship port was in la Spezia and the tour was in Livorno requiring a 90 minute commute to tour operator pick up. When we made the reservation the agent said we would be picked up in port and mistakenly identified the port as Livorno a great distance from celebrity port in la Spezia. The agents must be better in formed as which cruise ships port location
