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.

  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!

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.
