Ti Amo Tuscany - 4 days

15-Sep-2024

My tour guide Franchesca was very professional and knowledgeable of the region and it's history and Salvatore my driver was very helpful with the driving, parking and keeping on time.Both was easy to get along with and chatty. I was a bit surprised to be the only person on my tour but this did allow me lots of individual time to do what I wanted.Would of liked to have been notified before hand though.The pick up location was outside of Milan in the business district which was not suitable for a tourist as you had to to make your way out and in of Milan. The cost was a bit over priced compared to other tours . The accomodation in Florence was an excellent location.Both accomodations were as advertised 3 star to maybe 4 star.
