We can consider a discount if you book 2 or more tours with us, (e.g. you are on a ship and you book 3 tours from 3 ports of call with us). Please contact us and we will give you our best offer.
Yes, we do. Please contact us for more details.
The prices for private services (Private Tours, Transfers, Cruise Port Tours) are per party and not per person, so there is no difference if your party includes children/youth.

- General Questions
Availability
We run our private services (Tours, Cruise Port Tours, Transfers, etc.) 365 days a year, according to our availability, which can be checked on our website, or by contacting our customer care center.
As for our Small Group Tours, during the high season they run daily (or twice a day for the half day Wine Experience Tour). The only way to know the exact info is to verify the calendar on the tour page, that shows real-time availability.
To be sure about the availability, advance booking is mandatory.
Thanks to our popularity we receive a lot of requests, so we highly recommend you to book the earliest possible.
Last-minute booking requests are welcome, according to our availability you can check on our website. For last-minute reservations (less than 48 hours), especially for private tours and transfers we highly recommend to give us a call.
Our website shows real time availability, it happens when the specific tour is sold out. In this case you can check alternative dates, or contact us to double check if other guests have cancelled at the last minute.
Small group tours can be booked until departure time. For private tours/transfers, we have a cut off time of 24/48 hours, because we need time to arrange them. For last minute requests (less than 48 hours), please give us a call and we will do our best to help you out.
Accessibility & wheelchair/scooter users
Private Tours are the most comfortable option for people with walking difficulties. Being private you can move at your own pace with no rush and your driver can drive you almost anywhere.
For people using a wheelchair or an electric scooter, we do not have vehicles equipped with automatic lifts. Please let us know the size and weight of your wheelchair/scooter, so we can make sure that it fits in the trunk of your vehicle, to avoid any unpleasant situations.
Unfortunately not! None of our Small Group Tours can be joined by people with mobility difficulties or wheelchair/scooter users; first because the used vehicles are not equipped with a lift or ramps and last but not least, because being a group tour, in respect of all the participants we have to maintain a standard pace. Surely if you contact us, we can suggest private alternatives to suit your needs.
It is totally up to you, because all our 8 passenger vehicles, have special permits/licenses to circulate almost everywhere (pedestrian areas included), so for those with walking difficulties the driver can arrange an itinerary to see the highlights, directly from the car. The best way to enjoy the historic city centers is by walking.
Our Small Group Tours are designed to have the minimum amount of walking necessary to cover the highlights of the itinerary.
Our Wine Experience and our Wine & Food Experience have very limited walking with just a few steps to visit the wine cellars; the Siena & San Gimignano Tour, and the Cinque Terre tour, due to their logistics include bigger walking distances, and being a shared tour, in respect of all the participants, you have to maintain the standard pace of the group.
Weather
Yes. Our tours (Private and Small Group) run rain or shine, please dress appropriately. In the very rare case of extremely bad weather, we must cancel your tour. You will be advised as soon as possible and be offered a suitable alternative or a full refund.
Dress code
Absolutely not. Please keep in mind that if during your tour you want to enter a church, a religious site or a famous attraction (Vatican Museums, Accademia Gallery, Uffizi, etc.) you must have your shoulders and knees, covered.
After the Tour
In case you left something on the vehicle, please give us a call asap, so we can do a search immediately. It is solely your responsibility at the end of the service to check carefully that you have all your belongings with you. We are not responsible for lost items, but we will do our best to find your belongings.
Feedback, suggestions, etc. from our guests is the best way for us to continue to improve our services, that’s why we love to hear from you.
As you can see we have received hundreds of amazing reviews, and for us it is important that our guests are having a wonderful time. Your opinion is valuable and we are awaiting your feedback.

The itineraries shown on our website are just examples that we have built over 25+ years of experience, to include the highlights and the most requested sites of your chosen trip.
Yes, you can decide your itinerary on the actual day of the tour, as our drivers have a thorough knowledge of sites and can create an itinerary that best suits your needs.

Your driver will be well informed and he/she will be able to give you advice according to your needs.
We are always very flexible, so if you are enjoying your day and you want to extend the duration of your service, adding extra hours, simply ask your driver to confirm the availability and the additional cost.
- Drivers
All of our drivers are fluent in English.
Although our past clients on their reviews called our drivers “guides or driver-guides”, according to the Italian law, all drivers are not allowed to leave their vehicle and walk/enter with clients to/in museums/churches/attractions. If you prefer to add a local guide let us know at the time of booking and we can reserve this service for an additional cost.
How much a guide can enrich your experience depends on the itinerary, and the attractions you would like to see. If you are in doubt, let us know what kind of experience you are looking for and we will give you our opinion.
Fortunately many times we receive requests for a specific driver from friends and relatives of our past clients, Tripadvisor readers, etc. We do our best to assign you the requested driver, but as you can imagine sometimes it is not possible, because there are many things that may change from the moment you book to the day of the tour. Please be reassured that all of our drivers are fully licensed and trained to be friendly, informative and safe.
- Vehicles
Our specially selected fleet of luxury air-conditioned vehicles includes Mercedes Sedans, Mercedes Executive sedans, Mercedes vans and Mercedes Minibuses, such us, Mercedes E class, Mercedes S Class, Mercedes V class, Mercedes Sprinter, etc. All our vehicles are perfectly maintained and fully equipped.
We use air conditioned and fully equipped minibuses with free wi-fi on board.
As a general rule we use a Mercedes E class sedan for parties of up to 3 adults (or 4 people including kids), a Mercedes V class Mpv for parties of 4 to 6/7 people and a Mercedes Sprinter for parties of 7/8 people.
On request and at an additional price, the Mercedes E class sedan can be upgraded to a Mercedes S class. For parties of 9 or more people, we will use one of our minibuses/buses according to your party size. More details are on our car fleet page. Please note: according to our availability, you may benefit from a free upgrade, and have a bigger vehicle that has more room than the one you booked.
All our vehicles are fully insured as requested by the Italian law. Vehicles up to 8 passengers have a special license, necessary to drive almost everywhere (pedestrian areas included), like a taxi. In addition to that, being Prestige Rent, a limousine company and a Tour Operator too, our guests are also covered by the special insurance policy for Tour Operators.
Unfortunately not! However for Small Group Tours, most of the rides between places, are shorter than 1 hour. Obviously, you can always request a stop in case of an emergency. As for Private Services, being the only party in the vehicle, you have complete control of the day, including stops for restrooms too.
For Private Services only, we can provide them, however to be sure about the availability, please ask us at the time of the booking along with the details, to choose the right size/model, according to the Italian law.
- Small Group Tours
General
It is a shared tour, you are with other participants. All the details of the service (max group size, departure time/location, itinerary, duration, inclusions, price per person) are clearly specified on the tour page and cannot be modified.
Our wine tours are led by an English-speaking driver (usually certified sommelier) with extensive knowledge of the Tuscan wine culture/region or by a driver plus a separate expert guide. In both cases at each winery, the tour and tasting will be given by experts.
Our small group tours to Siena and San Gimignano or the Cinque Terre, usually are led by a licensed tour guide and a separate driver. Occasionally, when the number of participants is less than 9 people, they can be guided by a driver who is also a certified guide.
Yes, your luggage can be stored in the vehicle. Please advise us at the time of booking.
Sure! Contact us and we will provide you with all the options.
We have 2 small group tours (Wine Experience in Tuscany and Wine & Food Experience in Tuscany) where infants and toddlers are not allowed.

Infants can join our Siena, San Gimignano and the Tuscan countryside tour for free.
Please don’t misunderstand, we are the most kid-friendly company in the world.
Unfortunately, after a few bad experiences of infants and toddlers crying, we had several different complaints from our guests and we decided to put an age limitation.
If you are traveling with infants and you’re interested in wine, please check our private wine tours or contact us for suggestions.
Meeting Point/Time
All our small group tours depart from Piazzale Montelungo (Montelungo Square), close to the Florence Santa Maria Novella Train Station (the main station of Florence).

No, it is just a bus terminal with no services. If you need to use the restrooms, take a coffee, etc, please do it in advance.
Unfortunately, no! There are strict rules about where tour operators are authorized to start/end the tour, so intermediate stops for pick-up/drop-off are prohibited.
In front of the meeting point there is a parking lot. We suggest you arrive beforehand because there could be very bad traffic in Florence and the parking lot could be full and you may need to find an alternative parking.
Group size
Our small group tours run with max 25 participants
Standard group tours run with 60+ people.
After thousands of interviews with our clients, we discovered that the majority consider that 25 people is the limit to maintain a high level of comfort and quality. We know for a fact that our small group wine experience has been ranked #1 in the top 10 wine tours in the world by Tripadvisor clients.
Last but not least, you have to consider that most of our competitors run their standard tours with 60+ participants. If you prefer more privacy and flexibility or to customize your itinerary, you can choose one of our private day trips just for you and your party.
Yes, we do. Each tour runs with a minimum of 4/6 participants depending on the tour. Exact details on each tour page.
If the tour does not reach the minimum number of people to run, (very rare occurance), you’ll be offered a different date, an alternative tour (according to our availability) or a full refund.
Late Arrivals & No Show
We cannot hold the tour for late arrivals because it would be disrespectful to the other guests. If you need additional info on how to get to the meeting point, contact us in advance, and not at the last minute, as it could be too late.
If you show up late, don’t show up, or you can’t find the meeting point for any reason, refunds will NOT be issued.
It’s not possible to join the group after it has started. Arriving at the right check-in time or a few minutes earlier, is the best way to enjoy the experience from the beginning, maintaining the good mood of the group.

- Private Cruise Port Tours
General
It is a Private Tour with pick up and drop off at your cruise ship.
Private means just for you, so your party will be the only one in the vehicle. You can customize all the details of your service to perfectly suit your needs. A private service is the best in terms of comfort, flexibility, and privacy.
Our most important Italian ports of call are Civitavecchia (Rome), Livorno (Florence), Naples, La Spezia, etc.
Yes we do, please let us know the ports you are interested in so we can reply with our best offer.
Our private cruise port tours include pick up and drop off directly at your ship.
We suggest you to meet your driver at 8:00am. You may choose the time you prefer.
That sounds great! Before asking for an earlier pickup time, double-check with your cruise company if you’ll be able to disembark at that specific time. Your ship arrival time and your disembarkation time may differ.
If due to unforeseen circumstances your ship will not show up at the port, no charges will be made. If you have prepaid your tour you will be refunded.
Yes, no penalty will be applied.
Our super-friendly cancellation policy allows you to cancel your booking for free up to 24 hours prior to departure time.
None of our clients have ever missed the ship, we have been arranging private cruise port tours for over 25 years.
If you do miss your ship because of us, we will pay for all the expenses, dinner and overnight stay, as well as arranging your transfer to the next port of call.
You could miss the ship for different reasons such as the closure of the road to the port due to an accident, etc., or vehicle breakdown.
In case of the road closure, the buses of the ship will have the same problem on the highway and the ship will not depart because they will wait until the last bus will come.
Having a smaller car is easier to find alternative routes than a big bus.
In case of vehicle breakdown, our company uses new Mercedes Benz vehicles, continuously monitored, and maintained. Our tours are very popular so every day we have many vehicles at the Livorno port that could be used as a backup in case of emergency.
The price of a Private Tour offered by the cruise ship company could be up to 3/4 times more expensive than the same tour we offer.
We are 100% sure, if you find a tour from the cruise company that has the same value, itinerary, high quality as us, for an equal or less amount, we will give you the tour for free.
The difference is that with our private tours, you will have approx. 40% more time for sightseeing, compared to a slow-moving big bus tour, with 50+ other guests.
At the beginning and at each stop you have to wait for all the participants, you have to follow an exact itinerary, including sites you are not interested in, you have to consider restroom stops on the highway, longer driving times, bigger walking distances between the places where big buses are allowed to drop you off at the heart of Florence, where the attractions are located.
Second, the price, because if you are a party of 4/6 people, our price for a private service could be even cheaper than the total amount to pay for a big group bus tour.
Last but not least, with our private driver and vehicle, just for your party, you have complete control of your day, and you can customize pick up time, duration, itinerary, etc. and focus just on your interests. You are free to move at your own pace, making it the best in terms of safety, comfort, flexibility, and privacy, and you will maximize your short time ashore.

General information
We are not only a transportation company but also a fully licensed Tour Operator, we can legally arrange all-inclusive vacation packages in Italy.

Please contact us for more information on what type of experience you are looking for and we will give you the best advice according to your itinerary, we have been in the business for over 25 years.
Unfortunately, there is no correct answer to this question. The tourist season normally starts from April to October (with a slight decline in August due to the hot temperature) but it depends on you and your own interests.
If you like the beach, August could be the best time for you. If you are interested in wine, it would be better to come in the middle of September beginning of October because that is the harvest time.
During Christmas, it could be perfect if you like cold temperatures and would like to avoid the large crowds.
In other words, it all depends on what you prefer. When you book a private tour you decide all the details.

From “Transfers” you can access “Direct Transfers” (point A to point B) and “Transfer Tours” (point A to point B with a stop en route).
Let’s just say you want to book a Transfer Tour between Florence and Rome (or Rome to Florence) with a stop in Siena. You can click on “Transfers”, “Transfer Tours”, then “Florence to Rome” and select the one with the stop in Siena.
Please note: Transfers or Transfer Tours have the same itinerary; either you start from point A to arrive at B or vice versa.
From “Tours of Italy“ you can see a few suggestions for multi-day tours through Italy.
We highly recommend that you complete the customer form request. The more details you give us on your trip and what you prefer to do, the more we can help you build the perfect vacation in Italy.
