I walked straight from plane to exit - but driver didnt wait for me. I was not late! They were unable to offer a later shuttle. Told to get a cab.. disgusting service. Have not offered a refund and after no response from Expedia. I am now trying to dispute this via my credit card company.

We bought this tour from Viator, my first time using the company. The operator/driver was great at contacting us to make final arrangements especially as the weather was changeable. The tour was excellent, informative and relaxing and the horse was just lovely. We were picked up at our hotel in the center of Lucca and delivered back after a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

My husband and I attended a wedding in Tuscany and had a free day to ourselves before traveling to the coast so I wanted to tour a vineyard. I scheduled the vineyard tour myself but needed transportation so I called Book Tuscany Experience to see if they could assist. Boy, did they meet my expectations! Natasha wrote me right back and said she could provide me with a personal driver and also have him take me to a quaint village and other vineyard to complete the day. Our driver, Giovanni, picked us up as promised and not only drove us to our destinations but shared all his local knowledge and personality! Simply the BEST! We couldn't have asked for a better day, he even took photos of us along the countryside! We were so happy with their service we used them to get us to the train station the following day. Excellent service, fair prices and quality employees! Thank you Thank you!!

Did this tour in the summer of 2019 (not 2020) with our extended family, led by Luca and Chiara. It was such a fun and memorable experience. The bikes were in great condition. The guides were so helpful and informative and the treats we stopped to enjoy were fabulous. We also did their Pisa tour with them too, to make it a very full day. We loved every minute. Thanks Luca and Chiara and we wish you great success with your new company. Can't wait to return to Tuscany!
