The highlight of our honeymoon was our private tour with Angel! He was knowledgeable, easygoing, and planned everything impeccably. He also gave us space and time to enjoy the sites on our own, while still pointing out what we should pay attention to. He scheduled tastings at two different delicious wineries and the lunch on the farm was one that we will never forget. If you want to see some of the most beautiful spots in Tuscany and have someone plan the perfect trip, go with Angel.

My family of three decided to take this tour wile visiting Florence. It was the best choice we could have done. The driver was really professional, organized our whole day perfectly (considering we had a child with us) we have great memories of that day. My husband loves to take pictures and the scenery was beautiful. Couldn't recommend more.
