We used Luca 10 years ago when we visited for our 20 th with kids in tow with another couple. Amazing way to transfer between cities with a transfer tour!... read more Private wine tasting on our way from Florence to Venice was amazing and we still talk about it today! We are planning on going back once it’s safe to travel and happy to see them still in business and will use them again! It made going from city to city more comfortable and fun.

After a 7 day Royal Caribbean cruise, we had Luca Garrapa pick us up in Civitavecchia on Sunday June 26, 2011 for a scenic drive to Siena. Cost was 42... read more Euro per hour all inclusive. Highly recommend this after your cruise. Great Van with plenty of room for 8 large pieces of luggage plus 4 guests plus Luca. Better deal than renting a car/van for Tuscany. We hired Hills & Roads for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and drive to Rome on Wednesday. Tuesday was Andreas for more Tuscan countryside including lunch at vineyard and shopping in Montelpulchiano. Wednesday was pretty Dutch girl named Danielle to Florence for shopping and museums. Luca is trying to hide Danielle but highly recommend her. She speaks excellent english and italian with a great disposition. Our wives took her along with them for shopping in Florence and had a great day.

We spent two days with Luca on our recent trip to Italy and we all agree that they were the highlight of our trip. We were travelling as a... read more family of five (mom, dad and children ages 18, 15 and 12). I had emailed Luca and he planned two days in Tuscany for us. While he offered to change anything that we wanted to do differently, we decided that he knew the area better than we did and we went with his suggestions. On both days, it was an excellent mix of small towns (interesting and medeival, not at all touristy), wineries, and seeing the countryside. We ended the second day with a great tour of Siena. Luca picked us up promptly at our hotel in Florence both mornings and had full days planned. He is knowledgable on many subjects and did an excellent job of covering a wide range of topics. He knows a great deal about the history, culture and agriculture of the area. Luca has worked hard to build his business and find opportunities that allow his clients to get a very real sense of Italy. On both days, we had lunch in private homes. The first day was an excellent meal with Francesca and her husband. We felt as if we had found an Italian grandmother and been invited into her home for a very welcoming meal. The second day, we had lunch at the farmhouse of Stefania. Her warmth and enthusiasm was catching and we will always remember the afternoon that we spent in her home. The food was excellent and we felt as if we had chanced on a hidden gem in the Italian countryside. These are days that we will always remember and when anyone asks what we liked best about our recent trip every one of us talks about touring with Luca.

Another remarkable day with Luca touring through Tuscany. I have booked Luca for transfers and tours many times over the past few years. A few years ago,... read more we spent a day touring several hill towns in Tuscany and participated in a visit to a delightful farm where he organized a private cheese tasting. Fantastic!
This year we toured the countryside around the town of Lucca, and had lunch seaside. Another fabulous tour day!
Luca has as a deep knowledge of the Tuscan area and has lots of interesting facts and stories to share.
Each trip, Luca has also provided transfers to and from the Florence airport to my destinations in the Tuscan hills. He is reliable, punctual, personable and trustworthy. ( **this is extremely important for a solo traveler!)
Without hesitation, I would recommend Luca and Hills and Roads tours and will absolutely book him again for my next trip to Tuscany. Alla Prossima!
