Tours
We toured with Luca for 2 full days in May and couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. He is prompt, interesting, speaks excellent English and an... read more all around nice guy. After several emails back and forth (our fault as we kept changing our plans), he fashioned two wonderful days touring Tuscany as it should be without busloads of tourists. He knew just where to take us (lovely hilltop towns I had never heard of before) and along scenic backroads by olive groves and vineyards. He arranged a wine tasting and olive oil tasting as we requested and we were delighted with all of his choices. I highly recommend choosing Luca for your personal guide – we were extremely impressed with him.

Luca (of Hills and Roads) coordinated with our group representative via email regarding daily outings from our villa in Lucolena. He sent itineraries, we reviewed them, and he changed... read more per our request. We were interested in non touristy activities, and Luca provided just that. Some highlights: marble quarry tour, tastings- cheese, olive oil, wineries. Many of the tastings were set up privately for us as a group, which made a tremendous difference, offering a genuine personal touch at each location. Each of our tastings were fantastic in their own way. We went truffle hunting with an excellent guide, followed by fabulous truffle lunch. Our days and many evenings were well planned and coordinated by Luca and his staff.
We were driven by Luca, Chris and Angela. We looked forward to spending time with them each day! In addition to sharing great information throughout each trip to and from our locations, all were very safe drivers (a welcome relief for those of us who were nervous about many of the winding roads)
We were all completely thrilled by each and every day Hills and Roads planned for us. We presented a few last minute changes and Luca was very accommodating.

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 8 days in Rome and Florence but our two days traveling across Tuscany with Luca was the best thing we did. He picked us up from our hotel... read more in Florence and drove us to each of his hand picked wineries. Each place was unique and we were given private tours and tastings. Views were great, food was great, wine was great and the people we met were great. At the end of the first day he drove us to a hotel in Siena and then picked us up the next morning to see more. At the end of that day he drove us all the way to Rome. You just tell him what kind of experience you want and he will customize the wineries and travel for you. I couldn’t recommend Hills and Roads with Luca more. Wish I could give them 10 stars!!
