Traveler reviews
lots of walking and crowds
This was a long tour...we saw a lot & what we saw was wonderful. We did not get to Accademia and we did not get the glass of wine. I would have preferred to do it in reverse. Leaning tower first then Florence.
Basic bus trip to Florence and Pisa
Did the job of getting us to Florence and Pisa and back to our trip in time. Tour guide spoke 4 languages and was always helpful. Walking tour was not a tour but a person to lead us to city center which was not where we were heading. No glass of wine given, though this may have been at the end of the walking tour. The bus drops you back at the ship which is not what we wanted but may be a bonus to others. Bus was always hectic and we were always fighting to find a seat close to each other. Had a good time overall.
Go to leaning tower.
Marti was great. She gave us all the highlights and was very helpful. Be careful booking you may think you picked all the options but it’s tricky. We missed out on academia but that was not Marti’s fault.
Wouldn’t use company again
One hour late leaving chaotic meeting point - no reason no apology No actual tour guide information about places, just how to get to/from bus Very little time in Florence in order to return to bus on time only for the tour guide to be 30 mins late - no reason no apology! Arrived in Pisa with so little time had to rush to tower climb then rush back and again bus didn’t leave until another 30mins late! No reason no apology Tour very early way behind schedule as some passengers had 2 mins to leave bus and get back board even when bus made detours to go directly to their ship. Tour had been due to return to the town but bus didn’t - no discussion with passengers at all (we had made arrangements in the town) When spoke to tour guide about her changing the route last minute she was abrupt and rude and told us ‘get the shuttle back in’ - we’d already paid for this shuttle. Overall enjoyed visiting Florence tho extremely rushed visit - didn’t enjoy Pisa (tatty and felt everyone there just wanted us to spend money rather than experience their town. Felt they were there only to ‘rip off’ these unwelcome tourists’) Didn’t have time to do anything except climb the tower then rush back. Didn’t find the tour guide at all professional and would not use this company. A guide on a different trip stated all tour guides in Italy had to be registered and trained. If this guide is register the overall system had failed as the quality was appalling,
Schedules and punctuality...
Efficient schedules and punctuality, the only problem is that I booked with a Spanish-speaking guide and instead it was just an escort and we had to settle.
