Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We used Joe Banana for a private tour to some wineries in Montalcino. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. They also had availability for us when we decided to book last minute. The Mercedes can was new and clean and rode very smoothly. Our driver, Giuseppe, was very friendly and we enjoyed speaking to him throughout the day.

This is our 3rd time booking with Joe Banana Tours and we were not disappointed. Francesco met us at the ship on time with a luxury van for the 6 of us. We first went to Pisa and on the way, he told us stories of the Tuscan life, food, history, etc. What a site! It was never really on my bucket list, but it was on one of our groups, but so glad I saw it. Overwhelming. We were lucky to get there early before the big groups got there so we got wonderful pictures. From there we went to Lucca. Amazing little town and we'll go back! Francesco gave us the sites to see on our own, and we were able to roam the streets and get wonderful pictures.
Leaving Lucca we traveled to Florence, stopping at the best sights for pictures. He continued educating us on Florence. He recommended a spot for lunch and phoned ahead to make sure they could accommodate us. It was delicious!! Since we didn't have time to do museums, he suggested we visit a local winery in Chianti and SO GLAD we did! We were the only ones there and they gave us a tour of the winery and we had wonderful tastings. The wines were delicious and several of us purchased bottles. It was a great deviation from the crowds of Florence and an opportunity to see the countryside!
Francesco got us back to the ship in plenty of time and we had a really delightful day with him. Once again Joe Banana tours took special care of us & we thoroughly enjoyed Francesco!

We used Joe Bananas out of Florence for a day trip to Cinque Terre. Our driver Alberto was very friendly, provided interesting commentary on the region and navigated us safely along the winding, narrow roads between towns. We were given ample time to stop for lunch in Corniglia, as well as visit a relative's home town in Viareggio on the way back to the cruise ship terminal in Livorno. Joe Bananas provides an excellent alternative to the structured cruise ship excursions out of Livorno. At first glance JBL tours appears to be much more expensive than the cruise ship choices, but you get what you pay for. All in all a great day!

we did the florence/pisa tour, our driver Leonardo was such a gentleman and did all he could to make our tour the best. He explained every stop we had and pointed out things that might interest us. He encouraged us to ask any questions. We did florence first and then had lunch at a winery that was not part of the tour but was fantastic. Then on to pisa and back to cruise ship in plenty of time. Thank you Leonardo for a great tour and I would recommend this tour with Leonardo to anyone visiting florence or coming into livorno by cruise ship.

Rode the shuttle bus to the cruise terminal and Alessio (Alex) was waiting for us. Nice clean black Mercedes sedan. Alex proved to be a very competent driver even in difficult traffic situations. It took almost two hours to get to Florence but we learned a lot of history and other information as we rode along. We had purchased our passes to the Accademia weeks earlier and on the recommendation of the Joe Banana representative we got them for 12:30 p.m. Well, we were way early and Alex arranged for an early entrance for us. That was GREAT. After the Accademia (well worth it) we went through the old section of Florence and marvled at the cathedrals and other Renaissance buildings. Alex recommended that we try the tripe sandwich at Trippaio del Porcellino. We were a little doubtful but it was surprisingly tasty. He also recommended a first-rate gelateria which we enjoyed. The drive to Pisa was smooth and we learned a lot about the history of that city. We didn't climb the leaning tower but were very impressed with the cathedral. Nice visit with plenty of time to see all that we wanted to. Quick trip back to the ship. All very nice and just as we had hoped. Kudos to Alex and to Joe Banana

We can't rave enough about our 2-day tour of Tuscany with Gino! He was super informative, completely charming, and a wonderful (and safe) driver! We pre-selected our destinations, but we went to a couple more along the way at Gino's suggestion and they did not disappoint! He showed us the Florence American Cemetery - very moving (we're from the USA). and we made a stop in Cortona at Gino's suggestion - it will be forever in our memories as it was our first Tuscan town. We HIGHLY recommend Joe Banana tours!

Florence in Full was amazing! Our guide Alberto was wonderful- absolutely the best! He met us at the Livorno Pier and gave wonderful I for.ation on the ride to Florence. The tour started with the beautiful view from on high of the beautiful city of Florence. He took us through small villages on the way there to get the flavor of Italy. Alberto suggested a wo derful ace to eat lunch and told us good places to go shopping. He customized our trip as half of the ladies were shoppers and walked a lot and half wanted to just enjoy the beauty of the city. Alberto even took is to a great place to get gelato on the way out of the city. Joe Bananas is a great company to work with- we were kept up to date with emails and while on the way home Maria from Joe Bananas called to make sure the tour went well. I highly recommend this company and this tour with Alberto if you are going to Florence, a most beautiful city.

Our driver Gino was fantastic! We were a party of 15 and a few were renting cars. Gino went well out of his way to assist the renters at the airport rental kiosk, and ensured they could follow the rest of us in the van to destination. All the while giving us a commentary on the sites during the ride.
Gino was also extremely helpful with our luggage.
Dealing with Joe Banana Limos was very easy. Communication (in English) prompt and clear. They accommodated 2 last minute changes for us as well. One was late at night, but one of the owners answers the phone after hours.
Vehicles very clean and comfortable.
