Beautiful day in northwestern Tuscany.

5.00Antonio, our guide, was very careful to ensure that we stayed together and were safe. Our guide in Pisa, Sarah, stopped several places and exchanged ideas about the history of the Field of Miracles. Lucca is pretty but our guide hustled us from one building to the next and described the outside. I would have loved to visit the Music Academy.
Excellent service

5.00Excellent tour, both for the schedule: no need to wake up early and returning to Florence soon, and for the staff: expert and efficient guide and driver, and very professional and entertaining local guides.
Excellent!

5.00Excellent experience. Our guide Cecilia was excellent, and our driver Massimo was great. The guides in Pisa (Riccardo) and Lucca (Mónica) were excellent as well. We learned a lot and delighted in their architectural jewels.

5.00The tour to Pisa & Lucca was a fabulous experience. Our tour guide Cecilia was amazing. She was very attentive and had a lot of knowledge on the history of both towns - Pisa & Lucca. She ensured that she explained everything in English & Spanish for the convenience of all the guests. I never felt rushed and got sufficient time to explore the towns on my own. I would highly recommend taking this tour with Ciao Florence.
Very good.
