Semi Private Pisa and Lucca Wine Tour from Florence

We had a wonderful day trip to Lucca, Pisa, and a wine estate with Daniel and I Just Drive. The meeting place was easy to find and the staff in the hotel was welcoming and friendly. Daniel arrived on time with a cheerful greeting. The van was clean and stocked with water and some prosecco! Daniel's outgoing personality was a plus, making the hour-long drive from Florence to Lucca enjoyable. The iPads provided for sightseeing in Lucca were very helpful in finding our way around the city and the recommendations were spot on. Our time in Pisa was short, but we didn't really need more than 50 minutes to see the sights. The trip to the wine estate for a tour and tasting was a nice way to finish the day. Though semi-private with a potential for 8, there were only four of us. It's a great way to get out of crowded Florence for the day and not have to worry about navigating the roads or catching a bus. Important note: "I Just Drive" means just that - you are not hiring a tour guide (though Daniel did provide some good introductory information while driving.) This is the perfect tour for travelers who enjoy visiting a city on their own and at their own pace. Highly recommended.

This was an incredible tour of Lucca, Pisa and the Tuscan wine country. Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about all the stops on our tour

Super fun day! We lucked out being the only 4 people on this tour. Our driver, Carlo, was super fun and knowledgeable. He told us lots of interesting facts, stories, and answered all of our questions. Lucca was a cool little city that had a sports car show on the day we were there. We wandered around the city streets stopping for some lunch and shopping. Then we headed to Pisa. There was not enough time to climb the tower, which disappointed our group. We would have opted for less time in Lucca had we known that this would happen. Our last stop was for the wine tour which was quite interesting and the wine was delicious. We were able to ship a case back to the states. Because our group was small, we were able to stop along the tour a few times for photo ops. Overall, it was a great day and we would recommend the tour. Thank you!

This was a great tour to experience 3 different spots. Bike riding around the Lucca wall was a particular favorite of the group, you can finish this ride in half an hour and great views of the entire city. The wine was excellent and it was nice learning about the wine making process, as well as the details behind tasting. Our driver Luca was open to any questions we had and made for a fund drive! Would definitely recommend this tour :

Despite the pouring rain, we had a great tour. Luka was informative and attentive. The winery was really fantastic. Would recommend!

We would give this tour 10 stars if we could! What an amazing day. As it turned out, the others that had booked this tour cancelled and we lucked out and had a private tour! Daniel, our driver and tour guide, was outstanding. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Since we were the only people on the tour, he was able to add a couple of extra photo opportunity stops along the way. When we arrived in Lucca, we were given an iPad to use with GoogleMaps already loaded with suggested places to see and eat. We wandered around this lovely Italian town and through their market place, stopped for espresso and cappuccino along the way and Daniel met us back at the designated spot right on time. Then we headed to Pisa to see the Tower - we opted not to climb it as we weren't sure our knees could take it, but did take the gratuitous pictures of us holding up the tower so it doesn't fall. Then off to a lovely winery were we were given a tour and tasted three lovely wines and the most delicious olive oil I have ever had. This was, by far, the best tour that we have taken while on any vacation - largely due to Daniel. To top it off the day was beautiful - 60 degrees F in January and Sunny - unheard of! The drive through Tuscany and the Chianti region was beautiful and the sites were awe inspiring. When we revisit Florence, we will definitely look up Daniel and the I Just Drive staff! Thank you again for an amazing day!

Luca was a great tour guide with a nice car we were only 3. Pisa and Lucca were so beautiful, so glad that we went. The wine tour and tasting was very thorough and we learned so much. The wine and olive oil tasting was delicious! We had a great day. If you go, don't miss walking the walls of Lucca...the scenery is so memorable. We also had time to tour the Campo Santo in Pisa. Highly recommend!

Driver was not good and poor information. He was NOT a guide per him.

Daniel was absolutely amazing!!!! The vineyard was fabulous! I do not drink wine, but my husband does. The vineyard didn't leave me out or make me feel weird for not drinking. Instead, they gave me a small bottle of the most fantastic natural grape juice that I ever had. My husband kept comparing all of the wines durning the rest of our 11 days left to the chianti he had at the vineyard and non could compare. The sommlie sp was very intelligent with their wines and explained things my husband didn't know, but now does. Definiately worth the time and money!!!!!!

This way to tour was amazing! Our driver, Luca was great! Very professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant. So much better than trying to navigate it ourselves. The winery tour and tasting was spectacular!! We got to see so much and learned a lot about how their wines are made. It's a must do if you visit Florence!
