For the price I just...

Eliza_H, May 2025

For the price I just wasn’t satisfied. They did pick us up from port, which was nice. However, they waited outside and all other tour guides were inside with a sign clearly stating who they were there for. Then drove to Florence and met with another guide. She was nice but the accent was so thick no one could understand her and I’m really good with accents. She did not walk as with a group but more like she was walking alone. It was not what was described in the tour. We then were given a brief time to eat and then were picked up and went to Pisa. We were dropped down the street and told to walk down road for one hour. We walked past things but were not able to see inside anything. No time to look or sit at all. We did about 6 miles of walking by end of day which was fine for us but for some it may be an issue. We were then picked up and dropped back at port. Overall, before booking again I will really do my research more.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Eliza, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. We’d like to clarify that our driver was waiting outside, in the designated area. We’re not sure why you were waiting inside the ship, but this may have caused the confusion. For future reference, our staff is instructed to wait at the designated meeting point within the access permitted by the port authorities. Please note that our driver also took the initiative to call you when you had not yet arrived at the agreed time, showing concern and willingness to assist. Regarding the guide in Florence, our guides are certified professionals, and we’re genuinely surprised to hear that you were not satisfied with your assigned guide, as she has consistently received excellent reviews from other guests. Nevertheless, we take all feedback seriously and have discussed the matter directly with the guide, who told us she did her best to assist your group — even meeting you at a café to allow for a short break during the tour. As for the Pisa portion of the tour, we aim to provide guests with free time to explore the area at their own pace. That day, there was a major sporting event taking place in Pisa, which was unfortunately beyond our control. While we understand the inconvenience it may have caused, we are not responsible for events organized by the city. Before drop-off, our driver clearly explained what to do, where to go, and provided suggestions on what to see during the free time. We also understand you enjoyed watching and photographing the athletes, and even told our driver that you had fun. The free time allotted is one hour, during which each guest is free to engage in any activity of their choice. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity in the future to deliver the quality experience we strive for. Thank you again for your feedback. Warm regards, ACCORD Team

Great way to get a taste of Florence and Pisa

MichaelAlanSTX, Apr 2025

The tour started with a pickup by Alberto outside our ship in Livorno where he took us to Florence for a driving tour and then dropped us off with our walking tour guide Francesca. Both were amazing and we ended up meeting up later to share an incredible lunch with the two of them before heading to Pisa and then back to the ship. It was a lot to put into one day but the best way to see everything you could in one day.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Customer, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience with Alberto and Francesca. It’s fantastic that you were able to enjoy both the driving and walking tours, moments like these truly make a trip special! We’re glad we could help you make the most of your day and show you the best of Florence and Pisa. We hope to welcome you again soon for more unforgettable adventures! Best regards, ACCORD Team

Great trip to Florance and Pisa Thanks Alberto

Robert_A, Sept 2024

We traveled with 6 people, 3 couples, brothers and sister. Alberto was en excellent driver and had great insight to Florence and Pisa. He supplied us with a knowlegeable guide in Florence named Francesca. We stopped at a great leather store in the square where we were able to purchase gloves, pocketbooks and wallets. Alberto took us to a small quaint authentic Italian dinner that was prepared by Anna Marie. They also surprised my wife and I with an anniversary cake and Champaign at that dinner. After the dinner we were off to Pisa to see that amazing complex. Great tour, highly recommended.

Thank you for highly recommending us—we hope to welcome you back on another special adventure!

Fabulous Experience in Florence

Steve_M, Jul 2024

Luigi was fantastic! He was a great driver and tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Francesca also gave us a walking tour and she was equally fantastic! We were a family of 7 adults and a 20 mo old baby. They were patient and playful with her. Highly recommend them.

  • Pisa

    Pisa is a historic Tuscan city best known for its iconic Leaning Tower, a marvel that continues to amaze visitors worldwide. The tower stands in the Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also includes the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the Baptistery, and the Camposanto Monumentale, all masterpieces of Pisan Romanesque art.

    Once a powerful maritime republic, Pisa played a central role in Mediterranean trade and culture. Today, its legacy can still be felt in the elegant palaces along the River Arno, its ancient churches, and its charming streets.

    The city is also home to the prestigious University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore, giving it a lively and youthful atmosphere with busy piazzas, cafés, and events.

    Beyond the Leaning Tower, highlights include Santa Maria della Spina, Piazza dei Cavalieri, and one of Europe’s oldest Botanical Gardens. Pisa is far more than its famous tower, it is a city of history, art, and vibrant life.
