While vacationing on a Mediterranean cruise, the group decided that we did not want to do any of the Florence excursions provided by the ship. So we chose to do the Chianti Wine Tour and it was fabulous! Our private driver Franco, was a great guide and was very knowledgable about the region. Having your own drive provided flexibility as...

My husband and I took 2 day tours with Stefano of Tuscan Sunshine Tours. The first day he drove us to Lucca, Pisa, and to a small winery in Montecarlo for a tour of the winery and a wine tasting. I can't say enough good things about Stefano. He loves his country and was able to answer all of our... More

Four of us booked a tour of Cinque Terre. We were driven to Riomaggiore where we took the train to Manarolo and Vernazza. The trails connecting the towns were closed and the weather precluded taking the ferry. We spent the most time in Vernazza where we had a wonderful lunch at The Belforte. We also stopped in Portovenere and it... More

Our family wanted to take a day and tour some of the small towns in Tuscany while we are going to be in Florence so I contacted Tuscan Sunshine Tours because of the good reviews on TA. I also felt the fees for all day were very reasonable. Our driver was a young man by the name of Emanuele. He... More

It was a wonderful tour to a beautiful... More

I cannot rave enough about the day we had in Tuscany!! I contacted Tuscan Sushine Tours about 2 months prior to our trip. We only had one day to fit in everything and with the help of Franco we designed the day (after many many emails). Franco was wonderful! He is just the nicest person and so much fun to... More

Best money we spent while touring Italy! Highly recommend hiring FRANCO or STEFANO of Tuscan Sunshine Tours. Not only do they visit all the must-see sights, (leaning tower of Pisa as well as some amazing cathedrals), in the area around Florence Italy, they give vast amounts of history and information on the city they love. Franco's energetic creativity while discussing... More

We were on a cruise ship that was stopping in Livorno and wanted to spend the day in Lucca with a brief side trip to Pisa. Franco helped me plan the day, including recommending a wonderful guide who took us on a walking tour of Lucca providing insight into the history and development of the walled city. Since the cruise... More

From Franco's first contact by email, to his help in planning a day trip to San Gimigano, the Chianti region and a winery, he was nothing if not professional, entertaining and informative. He made our day trip from Florence to Tuscany a wonderful experience. I would heartily recommend Tuscan Sunshine Tours.
