“Outstanding Tour. Our guide (Sabrina) was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived at the collection point, which was very well described to us to avoid any confusion, Sabrina made us feel welcome and she made sure that we were escorted to the coach to begin our trip from Livorno to Florence. All along the route she kept us informed and educated as to whatever was interesting along the route.
