    Relaxing pace
    Picked us up at our hotel and drove us to cinque. Had time to wander streets and train/boated to other towns. Even time for lunch. Very relaxed pace and i truly enjoyed this.

    Sunset river cruise
    Sun had almost set before we started out but still pretty views, a very peaceful and a pleasant way to see the city from a different viewpoint. Glass of wine/water/orange. The guide was friendly and funny!

    Great Tour/Must See
    We took this tour from Florence because my wife wanted to see Cinque de Terre. First let me warn you it is a verrrryyyy long day. But other than that it was amazing. Our guide was Tanya she was very personable and knowledgeable. Fortunately we had a very nice day. We visited 3 of the 5 cities. All very beautiful and unique. We took ferries between two of the cities. Lunch was excellent. The tour was very well run. we did take a train between two cities that was a nightmare but apparently there was work being done on the tracks and it wasn't the tour's fault.

    One of the highlights of our time in Florence
    This trip was an extraordinary experience and one of the highlights of our time in Florence. What a privilege to be on the Arno river, floating beneath the Ponte Vecchio, seeing Florence from a whole different perspective. And for us, the private aspect was the icing on the cake. Our boatman and guide (Massimo) was great, giving us lots of history about Florence, the bridges, the buildings, etc.

    A great memorable experience by an outstanding guide with a class!
    Andrea is the owner of the tour company, and we were fortunate to have him take us on the tour. We were greeted in a brand-new nice vehicle with goody bags which had water bottles and some sweets. Andrea went out of the way to make our experience exciting, smooth, and comfortable. With great knowledge and experience, we got to know several things about Cinque Terre which otherwise would have been difficult to know. We requested to make reservations at a great restaurant and those were promptly made, and we enjoyed that very much. We were taken on a Ferry and train and to some special places to taste coffee and focaccia bread. The entire Cinque Terre landscape and coasts are scenic, and we enjoyed it to the fullest at our own pace. On the way back, we saw marble mountains and that was something unique. Andrea did not complain or showed any sign of fatigue even though the tour stretched to over an hour more than originally planned. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a real pleasant experience.

    Fantastic Tour of the Cinque Terre/Pisa
    I experienced a few large group tours 20-30 people. This was SO much better than that! I Just Drive is maybe a bit unique in that this tour isn't really a tour. Its just managed logistics. And thats a good thing!

    Our guide Emiliano was ontime and very professional. The van was a Mercedes, looks brand new and equipped with wifi. The seats were comfortable and had ample room for the 8 people (full tour) on the van. Emiliano even brought bottled water for us!

    It was a 2 hour drive to Riomaggiore, on the way we stopped at La Spezia to take in a scenic view of the bay. When we arrived in Riomaggiore, Emiliano explained how the day would go: We'd have 1 hour to tour Riomaggingiore, then we'd take the ferry to Manarola where we'd have another hour. Then we'd take the train to Vernazza where we'd 2 hours to eat lunch and tour Vernazza. Then we'd take the train back to Riomaggiore and tour the medieval church before heading to Pisa.

    The villages of the Cinque Terre are very small. 1 hour is plenty of time to shop, stop for a cappuccino and take pictures of the town. We never felt rushed or that we didn't have enough time to see what we wanted to see. The trade off is that we only saw 3 of the 5 villages, but I think we got a great feel for the CT.

    We trusted Emiliano to make lunch reservations for us and we had a table waiting for us when we arrived in Vernazza along with a special menu waiting for us. It was a great way to get a good lunch in about an hour (fast by Italian standards).

    After our tour of the CT, we left Riomaggiore and drove about 1.5 hours to Pisa. Again, this is just managed logistics, if you want to climb the tower or enter the basilica or baptistry, you need to book your own tickets ahead of time! I had booked timed tickets for the Leaning Tower (based on I Just Drive's agenda) and we were there right on time for me to climb the Tower! We were in Pisa less than an hour, but that was enough time for me to experience the Tower and explore the Field of Miracles. It would not have been enough time for any other tour/attraction though...

    Back in the van and Emiliano drove us back to Florence and dropped us off 2 minutes early. I was pretty amazed at the efficiency of the tour. They clearly have this dialed in! We didn't waste any time waiting for people to show up or meet back up with the group. It was very easy. Highly recommended!

    Our tour guides were great! The small group was so much better than the large tours.
    It was informative and relaxing with lots of time to explore.
    The boat ride at the end was spectacular!

    wonderful way to visit the city
    Really enjoyed the tour guide's sense of humour and knowledge. Great way to see the city and learn about the small intricacies we wouldn't have otherwise have seen. Fantastic way to visit the Uffuzi Gallery too.

    Don’t be jealous- book Out of the Box Florence
    We loved our tour with Stefano! He was a great communicator, very knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with. When we passed other crowded barchettos on the Arno river with their plastic cups of Prosecco we knew they were jealous of our small group enjoying good wine, snacks, and laughter. Our favorite part was talking about wines and Italian foods as he is also a sommelier.
