Review summary

We really enjoyed the service and the friendliness of the staff. The ports were great and hiring individual drivers was truly the way to go with the size of our family of eight. That gave us opportunity to modify places and excursions as we needed. But we always seem to run out of time. There was so much to see and do.

We just didn’t give ourselves enough time to do everything we wanted to do.

Again it just didn’t seem like we had enough time to do everything that we wanted to do. Since we had two days, I should have rented a room in Florence to have more time. The excursion was too short.

We did a group tour and realized that for the size and needs of our group we should have hired a private tour for this as well. It was difficult to find restrooms and for our group one member had limited mobility and had to walk steps to get to a restroom.

We hired a private driver that was able to get us to different areas and helped with family with mobility issues.

Spend a few extra days and check on your tours/guides prior purchasing a tour.
