Past Travelers' Comments

Our trip to Barcelona and Andalusia was amazing and led by Ben who was fantastic!  Each hotel was unique and beautiful, the tours in each of the cities were well considered and led by local experts.  The tour was a wonderful combination of fun activities (Flamenco performance, Paella cooking class, sherry tasting) and educational/historic sights (Alhambra, Sagrada Familia, and Park Guell).  There was also ample free time to explore or shop on our own.  On our trip, of 16 guests, only two were new to Tuscany Tours.  I think that speaks volumes!  Many thanks!

We have experienced Tuscany Tours four times now and it's always a "Trip of a Lifetime".  As usual, Tuscany Tours comes thru with another winner!  We fully enjoyed our trip.  Best of Northern Italy was attended by fantastic, interesting people.  We loved seeing sites we have always dreamed of, guided by Ben who took exceptional care of all of us!

Thank you for growing and exceeding your standards, trip after trip!

This was the fifth trip we have taken with Tuscany Tours. It rates in the best two that we have experienced. While the art in Florence is unsurpassed and the Best of Tuscany was an excellent trip, the Best of the Amalfi Coast rivals it for the simple joy of the experience. The highlights of this trip are the natural beauty of the Campania Region, and the kindness and generosity of spirit of its people.

The vistas from the villa in Ravello are unimaginable and incredibly beautiful. Add to this the wonders of Capri and the boat ride around the island including a visit to the Blue Grotto. And the food, oh the food!! The seafood was fresh, tasty and prepared with simplicity and elegance.  So, we heartily recommend this trip to all who love beauty and like to eat!!

The Best of Tuscany was magic from the very beginning.  We enjoyed a comprehensive experience from Florence, to Radda-in-Chianti, to Cortona, and finally back to Florence.  The tours, the food, the wonderful guides, Ludo and Ben: all were the best we could ask for.

The best things were the pace of the trip—never being rushed, and a lot of time for socializing.  We enjoyed the most delightful traveling companions who are still communicating via the WhatsApp.  I daresay we came away with friends!

I have to say our guides, Federica & Giulia, were wonderful.  They were fun, knowledgeable, caring, helpful, always accommodating, I can't say enough about either of them.

We chose this tour to see & hear about the history of Sicily, and Tuscany Tours delivered a trip filled with warmth, unexpected treasures, and unique experiences along the way.  The trip was well-planned, comprehensive and lots of fun.  Professional and organized beyond expectation.

My wife and I are just so, so happy that we chose Tuscany Tours.  Hopefully we'll be able to do it again at some point.

We had a wonderful time in Provence! We saw the main attractions - the Pont du Gard, the lavender fields, the markets - but also had the opportunity to have experiences that would not be available to the independent traveler, or someone in a large tour group. The prime example in this trip was preparing lunch under the guidance of the chef in Avignon - including a trip to the market to obtain all the ingredients. Ludovica was charming and efficient, an excellent guide.
