“Our guide met us at the port as expected (with exceptionally clear directions and maps provided ahead of time). I had booked just the 2 of us - we were in a large vehicle with a driver and a guide. The guide gave us a ton of information - really, nonstop about the sights we were going to see, the region, the country, etc. The itinerary began at Mary's house. This was a straightforward location - he covered our admission and then set us in the right direction. This was quite a moving experience, though not a particularly lengthy one. When we were done, he was waiting for us at…”

Okan gave us information related to the country itself, politics, religion etc. He was very outgoing and friendly. The pickup was very easy from our cruise. He even added a visit to a pottery business, with demonstration, which was enjoyable. We highly recommend!”

“The tour is fine with driver and private guide. It was very hot and I think it influenced the guide. I would have liked a little more explanation and passion in your comments. And maybe a little more time to explore on my own. But Ephesus’ visit impresses and it’s amazing to do it privately and not with 30 people at once.Auto-translated”

“We did not opt for a guided tour… just transfers… and it was perfect because our guide Kiko was full of information about the cities and the scenery on the drive. Super energetic and fun, he gave maps and contact info and advice of where to stop since our times in the cities were limited. Great job Kiko!! Plus, Lucca and Pisa surpassed our expectations. One note: would have loved to know stores close in Lucca in the afternoon…. I had waited to shop for the walk back to the bus and missed out on all kinds of treasures.”

We would like to go back to Livorno and do the bus tour again as it looked so nice down by the sea front and go on the funicular railway hopefully without the rain.”

Guides such as Tea, Sara, Elvis, and Katarina bring local stories to the walk.

“I would not recommend this tour. The tour guide came shortly before the meeting time so it took a few minutes to check everyone in and get us all headphones and radios. Then the tour guide waited for someone who was late and there was tension. We started our walk almost 25 minutes late with a stressed guide. We walked to the cable car and waited again while the tour guide purchased tickets, something that should have been done ahead of time for efficiency. By the time we walked back to Old Town, it was very hot. We should have done the walk first and cable car second. Beautiful city…”
