        Very comfortable drive with an extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guide.
        We were a party of six and were collected from our hotel in Montecatini by Walter in a fabulous, very comfortable van. We drove for an hour to Portovenere where we were taken to all of the best spots for photos. After a coffee break we continued on the stunning drive to Cinque Terre. Walter was extremely knowledgeable and very funny. After stops at several vantage points to view the villages we descended into Vernazza where we had lunch and then climbed high to take photos of this beautiful village. I would highly recommend this company and this tour.

        Mine Tour
        The Carrara Mines were fascinating. We weren't thrilled with any of the shore excursions offered by the cruise line, so this one was a good alternative. Very little glitz and glamour, but an up close look at a working marble mine.

        Christiano was great!
        Christiano was awesome! He was very attentive and made sure that we saw the best sights! He was always close by while we did different tours and even helped us get a little extra time to tour the Duomo before getting us back to our ship in plenty of time. I would definitely use them again for another trip to the Pisa/Florence area!!

        Exceptional experience, next level service and knowledge!
        Nothing but VIP service from the moment the tour started with pick up at our hotel. We had the pleasure of having Valter as our driver and guide to Portovenere and Cinque Terre. Very knowledgeable about all the areas leading up to the heart of the tour, showed us the best views in Portovenere, Monarola, Vernazza, and Corniglia. He even made us a reservation at a fabulous restaurant in Vernazza to enjoy some excellent seafood dishes and Vermentino. The Mercedes car made for a very comfortable, luxurious ride. If you’re looking for personable, knowledgeable and excellent service, look no further. We look forward to using Valter’s limo service in our future travels to Italy. Can’t wait for our next adventure!

        Could not be better!
        We had the pleasure of having Valter pick us up at the Rome airport after a transatlantic flight and taking us to our rental apartment in Lucca. Unfortunately, our arrival was somewhat delayed, but there was Valter waiting for us after we collected our bags. The trip to Lucca was perfect in Valter’s incredibly comfortable Mercedes limousine. During the trip, we peppered him with questions about restaurants in Lucca, and his advice was spot on. We arrived within the walls of Lucca during a downpour, and Valter graciously helped us getting our luggage into our apartment. Valter’s business provides superb, reliable, and safe service, from the time you make your reservation with Julia until you are delivered to your destination. We most highly recommend him.

        Exceptional Excursion to Tuscany
        Leonardo was our driver and guide for a day trip from Florence to Chianti, San Gimignano, Volterra and back to Florence. He is so kind, knowledgeable about the area, accommodating, and made our excursion so very enjoyable. The car was so comfortable and relaxing. An exceptional experience all around. Thank you very much.

        Great Private Tour and Guide!!!
        My family and I booked our private tour to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We wanted a personal experience at our own pace. Giovanni our tour guide and driver met us at the port and custom tailored the day to meet our needs. He was very personable and professional. We quickly felt like he was a friend and made several recommendations to get the most from our tour. I will be recommending this tour and Giovanni with confidence.

        6 Stars! Great Experience, highly recommend
        We had a wonderful trip with Valter from Rome to Florence with a custom stop at a winery in Montepulciano and then a stop at the designer outlet mall outside of Florence. Valter gave us a special tour of Florence and went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend LuccaLimo and will absolutely use their services again. Great communication, on time pick and drop off. Made us feel extra special with the surprise visit to Piazzale Michelangelo and all the great information and history of Florence to kick off our brief stay in the city.

        Perfect
        Excellent Excellent Excellent! From Florence Airport to Lucca, from Lucca to Venice, from Venice to Milan, and then to Milan Airport, we had excellent service. No surprises, great communication via text and WhatsApp. I used them in 2019, 2022 and will again in 2023. Julia and the drivers and cars were exceptional.

        Unforgettable Carrera
        Walter was very congenial and informative about local history as well as the quarries. Through him we learned about the marble and met working artisans. It was an amazing experience to walk into the cave! The day was well worth the time and cost.

        Excellent Private Tour!!!
        Every step of our private shore excursion was well thought out and professional. We were picked up directly outside of our ship and promptly driven away avoided the large crowds traveling in ship excursions. Our driver and tour guide Giovanni was extremely knowledgeable and easy going. He is fluent in English and allowed us to make the most of our day celebrating my wife’s birthday. I would definitely recommend this tour and Giovanni (Gio) for any tour. Well worth the money.

        A friend in Italy!
        Super responsive, caring, thoughtful service that I worked with on my most recent Italian vacation. From the first email to the last drop off, they were simply the best. A pick up at the very hard to navigate Florence train station--flawlessly executed. An amazing restaurant recommendation on the trip from Florence to Lucca. Courteous, professional, communicative from Florence to Lucca, to La Spezia, to Lucca, to Pisa. Wonderful!

        Private Shore Excursion from Livorno to Vericiano, Lucca, Florence American Cemetery and Pisa
        Valter went above and beyond to create a unique expierience for my wife and I. Valter not only took us to the places that we requested to visit, he acted as a private sleuth to try and help find any relatives still around and the place that my Great Grandparents once lived. He then took us to the Florence American Cemetery to pay respects to my Great Uncle who died in WWII. Our trip to Lucca for an authentic Itialian Meal was fantastic and the ambience was perfect. Our final stop was in Pisa that wasn't even scheduled, but was a unexpected surprise that he was able to provide. I would recommend Valter and his company to anyone that want's to travel to Italy and is in need of a Private Tour. Thanks again to Valter and his Company for a memory that will live with us for eternity.

        Wonderful reliable service
        We have enjoyed every minute of our one week “Highlights of Tuscany” tour which included Pisa, Florence, Volterra, San Gimignano, Sienna, Chianti, Lucca, Montecarlo, Carrara, Lerici & Portovenere plus wine tasting experiences. Valter & Giovanni of Luccalimo were our superb drivers. Everything was perfect, punctuality, excellent driving & their knowledge of all the places we visited. They are courteous & above all friendly with a great sense of humour. It was like travelling with a friend in a beautiful car experiencing the wonders of Tuscany.

      Cinque Terre is amazing, so it's hard to go wrong. Our driver was great, friendly, informative, and really made our day as good as it could be. He even recommended a great spot for lunch, once we agreed called and booked a nice table for all 6 of us right by the water.

      I've been on many private tours before, and it's hard to try and accommodate everyone on board (when the group is bigger than 3 or 4 people). He did an amazing job, and made this one of our best days on this long 16 day trip.

      He offered insights into history of the area, what is going on now, and the best spots for getting the perfect photo.
