“This tour was great. I highly recommend it. Our guide was great. The early access to see the David was perfect. The museum was basically empty. No lines no waiting. We weren’t able to climb the duomo because it was closed that day, but our guide was able to get us access to climb the bell tower. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence. Well worth the money.”

Uffizi VIP guided small group with timed entry, English headsets, and expert art context. See Botticelli, Raphael, Da Vinci.
“Tour was fine. Guide was good. Tour operator changed our time and forced us to cancel a different tour. Was unhappy about that. We planned our trip well in advance and being forced to choose wasn’t great. We didn’t have enough time to change.”
Private Chianti day trip from Florence with Greve and vineyard tastings, olive oil and cheese stops, and a luxury van for up to 7.
“We didn’t really know what to expect, which was honestly better!! It was more than just a wine tour and we honestly had the flexibility to make it what we wanted within the guidelines of time! Alessandro, our driver/guide/expert extraordinaire was incredible! He took us to San Gimignano, then a private farm/winery, Sienna and then dropped us off in montepulciano! He gave us such great information on all the places we visited, answering all of our questions and the farm/winery was a dream!! Like, seriously! Best wine, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and food we’ve ever had! It was the best!”
VIP private Duomo tour in Florence with skip-the-line access, a private art historian, dome and monuments for a tight 3-hour visit.
“The tour itself wasn’t bad, but certainly not the best we’ve had. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and all the various things about the area, however was a little dry in their delivery, and their accent was a bit hard to follow at times. Wouldn’t say don’t do this tour but not 100% sure I’d recommend this company for this particular tour again.”

“Our Private Walking Tour of Florence with Livia from LivTours was fantastic. Livia was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the art and history of Florence come alive. Her passion for the city showed in every story she shared, and visiting David and the Duomo with her guidance was unforgettable. Highly recommended.”
Private Chianti and Siena day trip from Florence with hotel pickup, walking tour, vineyard lunch, and tastings in a luxury van.
“Amazing experience from beginning to end! Our driver was very knowledgeable. Originally, we thought that our driver would just get us there and back, but no, it was so much more. He pointed out places and provided historical information of places along the the way. From the beginning, the driver was on-time and asked us/gave suggestions of a good itinerary for the day. The van was very clean and comfortable. Overall, the driver was very pleasant to be around and was very flexible to our wants out of this trip.”

“My family and I have visited the Tuscan region many times. We were looking to visit an area a little further outside Florence. This tour fit the bill. We were able to decide how to split the time spent in both towns. We managed to include a quick wine tasting within the timeframe-a perfect day! Symonne, our guide/driver was very accommodating. He allowed us the level of independence we desired-while providing history and local knowledge. Know that the beauty & history of the region is well represented in this tour, yet the crowds are much, much less. This is a great way to see a bit of the countryside in…”
