Aaron and Alessandro took us from Florence to Pisa for a day tour. Well planned and comfortable rides. Also Aaron’s knowledge and his enthusiasm was awesome. Thank you.

Pisa was a great photo-op with the Leaning Tower. San Gimignano was an excellent setting for wine tasting, lunch, and medieval history. Siena was amazing as you walk around in the medieval historic center. Aaron was a great guide and the bus driver was excellent.

Nice way to visit Pisa. The tour is informative and lots of time to explore on your own. Pisa is a beautiful place.

- Bus was comfortable, but seats a bit narrow. - Guide on bus gave interesting information, but her accent was a little hard to understand. As she guided us from the bus to the site, she repeatedly emphasized the danger of pickpockets -- to the point that it was a little frightening. - While free WiFi was advertised on the bus, it needs a password, which wasn't posted. You may have to ask the guide. - The onsite guide was interesting and funny, but we wondered if it was worth the extra cost.
