We spent a wonderful, full day with Mau! He picked us up promptly from our AIRBNB in FLR in a very clean & comfortable Mercedes van. Mau was very pleasant, charming and extremely knowledgeable about the Tuscany area. I highly recommend him! My family was not exactly sure where we wanted to spend the day, and Mau made some suggestions, which we followed and I am glad we did. The town of San G is very charming for first-timers to the area. Later at Casa Emma we enjoyed a tour, followed by wine tastings paired with a fabulous lunch, in a very lovely setting. It is much more enjoyable to try the wines with food, and the food was delicious. And, YES, we did order wine to ship home! All day long the landscapes and surroundings were gorgeous, and Mau made sure to show us some particularly lovely views. It was a terrific day, and after having spent the previous 2 days on foot seeing the sights of the city of FLR it was a very welcome respite for our feet.

We did a 3-hour private tour of Siena with Giorgia this summer with our two teenage children. It was just perfect! Giorgia is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Siena and beyond, and it clearly showed in the depth of her answers to the very many questions that we asked. She was flexible to adapt the tour based on what we were interested in. Although not originally from Siena, she knows and loves the city like a local and has the ability to make the tour unforgettable. 160 Euros for a fantastic private our of Sienna. Very good value for money. Probably the best private city tour that we have ever done.

What a trip! Adam, our driver, was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The day went according to plan and we had marvellous visits to both the extensive complex of Villa Adriana and then taken up the hill to Villa d’Este and its magnificent water gardens.

My friend and I enjoyed a lovely week in Tuscany in February of this year (2020). Together in Tuscany & Umbria were instrumental in helping us plan our vacation. They accompanied us to our apartment in Cortona to make sure we understood everything, they arranged wine tours for us with a private driver and they even stayed late for us when Google Maps directed us to the wrong town upon our arrival. I would highly recommend using their services and I will definitely book through them again when we return in the future!

My mom and I were in Rome exactly one year ago. We decided to book the early morning tour, including the pickup from the hotel. Both the driver and guide were on time. We were able to enter the Museums at 8am, before the opening to the general public (at 9am). The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, he guided us through the magnificent galleries, Sistine chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Overall great experience. Even the concierge recommended us this tour agency, but we were lucky enough to have found it on our own before the trip, trusting all the positive reviews, and we’re very glad we did. I highly recommend this company, they are professional, honest and passionate about what they do.

My adult daughter and I visited Bibonna, Italy during Easter weekend and wanted to do visit local wineries. I did not want to drive so that I could enjoy the tastings so we booked a 5 hour tour with Monica. She was FABULOUS!! Monica is a taxi driver, licensed tour guide and sommelier...the perfect combination. We saw the beauty of the region, learned about the history of Tuscany and the importance of wine and olives to the area, and visited two amazing wineries. Monica was flexible and accommodating to make stops for pictures and answer all of our questions. The booking process was easy and she customized the trip to our needs. Monica communicated with me often leading up to our trip and called me when she knew we would be arriving to welcome us to Tuscany. She confirmed the pickup time at our hotel and was there early to ensure we got the most of our day. My daughter and I had an amazing experience and Monica was well balanced in making us feel like we had a friend guiding us, as well as giving us space to share the moments with each other. She has a great relationship with the staff at the wineries and makes sure you get the most out of the experience. She loves her home region and the wines they make and her love of all that is infectious. I would highly recommend any sort of tour of the Tuscan region with Monica, but would encourage you to let her guide you to the more local and out-of-the-way destinations. You will experience what most tourists do not. I plan to return on a trip with my husband and guarantee you we will be calling Monica!
