We met our wonderful driver, Massimo, when he came to pick us up at our apartment. From the start he was very friendly and personable. He was born and raised in Florence and has a lot of knowledge about the Tuscany area. He also speaks very good English. We loved hearing his stories about the different experiences he's had while driving visitors around. We decided to spend about 50 minutes seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Field of Miracles in Pisa. We really wanted to spend most of our day in Lucca. We were happy with this choice. When we arrived in Lucca it was lunch time and Massimo walked us straight through Lucca to an area he recommended for lunch. It was a great choice, we had one of our best meals in Italy here. Next we rented bikes and road them around the beautiful city walls, an absolute must when visiting Lucca! We had just enough time left to do a little shopping as we walked back to meet back up with Massimo. We highly recommend this tour, we loved having a private tour because we got to engage in conversations with Massimo and get to know him and we could spend the day as we wished. Highly recommend!
