We had the most fantastic time with our driver Giuliano! He was so kind, funny , and knowledgeable about this region of Tuscany. We had an amazing lunch and wine tasting at a family owned winery with spectacular views in between our visits to Volterra and San Gimignano. Pick up and drop off at our hotel was seamless. This was our favorite activity during our time in Florence!

Giuliano was wonderful!!! We had the best day! He picked us up right at the ship and planned an amazing day to Volterra and then to San Gimignano. He took us to one of his favorite restaurants and then to a beautiful vineyard that has been run by the same family since the 1600’s. Definitely a must if you don’t want to ride with 100 people on a bus!
My husband and I visited Italy for our honeymoon and this was probably our favorite activity we did! We stayed in Pisa and were picked up by the most amazing driver/guide, Giuliano! He introduced me to my first pistachio croissant and I was fully addicted the rest of our trip. I loved learning about what it's liked to live there and other fun facts you probably wouldn't learn on a typical walking tour. He is also an amazing singer :) Volterra and San Gimagnano were both beautiful towns and not crowded at all compared to the larger cities, which was a nice change of pace. They are also smaller enough where you don't feel rushed visiting both in one day. Also, if you have the opportunity to get lunch at a vineyard between the two towns, you HAVE to! The views were incredible and so was the wine. If we're ever back in Italy, we'll definitely book an activity with through this company and hopefully with Giuliano again!
Beautiful day in the countryside of Tuscany. Our driver Guliano was prompt, driving a clean comfortable van. He provided us with lots of information, and was kind, funny, and considerate throughout. We enjoyed va detour to see opera singer Andre Bocelli's hometown and summer concert venue. Definitely agree to pay extra for the wine tasting and lunch. Truly special!
The driver was super polite and careful ! He told us all the local legends and stories about the regions we visited. In addition, the driver mentioned to us which places are good for visiting/eating. In some places we even got discounts because people knew him. I would highly recommend this trip !
We came to Livorno on an NCL cruise. My husband booked for the 5 of us to take a tour and it was fabulous!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Make My Day. Our guide was very kind, and made our trip so enjoyable. He kept us entertained and well informed about the various areas we visited. We went to beautiful Volterra, and then had a wonderful lunch at the most charming winery, we then finished our day in San Gimignano. Perfect tour. Book it, you won't regret it!! Thank you Giuliano!!
We had a lovely time in Volterra and San Gimignano! The driver was very polite, answered all the questions we had and gave interesting insights about the cities. Would definitely recommend!
We arrived Livorno by cruise ship and Giuliano was waiting for us nice and early at the port. It was super easy to find him and we didn't have any problem communicating with him prior to the trip. The car was comfortable, very clean and Giuliano kept us entertain throughout the journey to Siena by giving us info and interesting things about the Tuscany area. Once we finished visiting Siena we were taken to a nice winery for waste tasting and lunch, which my family enjoyed very much! We then visited San Gimignano in the afternoon and it was such a beautiful place. Giuliano got us back to the port in good time and we found the whole experience very pleasant. I would highly recommend booking shore excursion with Make My Day In Italy as it was such good value and you won't be disappointed.
I booked this trip independently of the cruise line, and it was a perfect day! Giuliano picked us up at the terminal with no problem. We drove to Volterra, and were practically there alone in the beautiful walled city. We did a brief tour of the Rossi Alabastri studio and shop, with a marvelous demonstration was great. We did buy a few things that were small enough to pack. Then we walked around Volterra, which for those of you who don't know, means you are safe from vampires in this town. Guiliano pointed us in the direction of a beautiful vantage point, which we would have surely missed. It overlooked the rolling hills of Tuscany. The weather was cloudy with bits of rain, but it was still lovely. Then we went a short distance to a small privately owned winery- Corbucci, which was an optional stop during the booking process. I would highly recommend it. The lunch was delicious and the introduction with tasting of the wines was memorable. San Gimigniano was last stop. Very unique Tuscan town. It is featured in several films, and did not disappoint. Guillano was an excellent tour guide, providing history and information along the way. It was a pleasure to be his first tour of the 2025 season!! thank you
We have a wonderful day with Guilanno exploring Sienna and having lunch and the wine tour at the organic farm,. The kids loved the animals!! Thank you!
We had a fun day exploring Tuscany with our private driver Guliano, and experiencing the best of the countryside. We were given the chance to have lunch at a beautiful family farm near San Gimignano, which was the highlight of the trip. We especially enjoyed Volterra, as it is much less touristy than much of Tuscany. Guliano has a lovely car and speaks very good English, and was very proud to show off his home.
Giuliano was fantastic! We had fun in the van between stops learning more about the towns and Italian culture. He is such a positive, warm guide. Our hosts for wine-tasting/ lunch were wonderful and enriched our day.
We had an excellent time and Giuliano our driver was very well versed in the areas we visited and very accommodating. I would highly recommend Make My Day - Transportation service in Italy.
We could not have asked for a better day with Gio. It was a perfect way to spend time as a family. Gio took me my wife and our three older boys (all in their 20s) to several towns outside of Florence culminating in a visit to San Gimignano. He is an excellent guide and companion as we navigated the beautiful Chianti region. We all felt very much at ease with Gio and he provided a fun, relaxing, and educational experience for us all. I would recommend him to any and all travelers wanting an enjoyable day trip out of Florence.
From airport pickup. To transfer cinque terre with stop in San gimignano. To transfer Tuscany to Rome. Funny entertaining extremely knowledgeable on time. Patient and professional. We could not have been happier with our choice
What an amazing day in Tuscany with driver and guide Giuliano! He shared a wealth of information while taking us to these two lovely medieval cities. He was a fabulous guide, well worth booking with his great personality and knowledge. He also arranged a perfect lunch at a local winery and farm.
Called them that morning and they found a way to fit in our family of 6. After talking for a few minutes when he picked us up at the hotel he came up with a plan for a great afternoon. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Clean van, safe driver and gave us enough info to keep us engaged but not so much to overwhelm us.
Best guide in town! I had such a lovely time exploring Tuscany with Giuliano, he's very professional and helpful, he also showed me very nice food places, I highly recommend him
Giuliano is awesome!! It felt like he was part of the family. So thoughtful, polite and genuinely nice. We had a great time and learned tons about the Toscana region. I’m recommending him to literally every single person I know who’s planning to go to Italy soon!
Great guy, still rememer our trip together and delicious ice cream. Optimistic lovely guy. Truly recommend:)
Very positive experience. It was easy to book the tour and make arrangements with the nice driver, very helpful and punctual. He helped us discover the beauties of Tuscany. Thanks again...
Number one!! Professional and very willing to give suggestions for visiting top places and venues
The communes of Volterra and San Gimignano are two cities that sweat the medieval air with their picturesque buildings and characteristics that give both a special charm. It is an unforgettable visit!
The experience was fantastic. Giuliano took care to advise us on the routes through Tuscany and the most appropriate places to eat. I also organize all the necessary transfers between hotels and the airport. A very friendly and professional treatment that greatly facilitated our stay. I recommend it one hundred percent
Giuliano was a very nice man. He's from Livorno, a beautiful coastal city! I went to the theater there to perform, and then I took three days off. He is my Airbnb landlord and during the chat I learned that he is a tour guide in Tuscany. So I decided to ask him to take me to a nice place. So we did a couple of trips in Tuscany! It's really, really good. He is very professional, the local guides are still the most familiar with the local environment and the prices are fair! It is highly recommended.
Sensational, great job 👏👏👏 Without a doubt it is worth attending the events, super recommend. Now I wish I could go more often
Giuliano is a very friendly and humorous tour guide. He took a lot of time for me and showed me great places. His van was very comfortable and clean. The food was great too!
I can only recommend it ! Very sympathetic and especially musical driver! Food and drink was very good ! Always happy ! Let yourself be surprised! Toooooop!!
Excellent Service, very friendly and concerned to deliver the best information of the places I have visited, very comfortable and welcoming, my experience has really been beautiful, I am very grateful, I recommend it 100%
I went on a tour with Juliano and it was a thousand-night experience. I visited some beautiful places and listened delightfully to their stories. Vultera and San Gimignano are the peacocks of Tuscany. NCC, Juliano made my day a breeze
Very friendly tourist guide! Very well educated on medieval Tuscan history. A busy day between wine tasting, a visit to splendid panoramas and interesting conversation. I highly recommend!
Veľmi príjemná a informáciami nabitá prehliadka! Vrelo odporúčam a za všetko ďakujem. Nezabudnutelne zážitky. Katarína
