Pisa Tours in Winter

Excellent tour. Our tour leader Gustavo is excellent. He is amazing, friendly and helpful. Very accommodating. Gustavo makes all things possible. Very nice person. He showed us all the views and landmark of each country. Alex is an excellent driver. Very helpful and friendly. Overall this tour is amazing.

The tour operator planned what would have been a very challenging itinerary to pull off solo, with probably a couple too many places to visit, and executed absolutely wonderfully. Seamless, low maintenance and highly helpful - be on time where asked, use the resources/insight from the tour guide, and make the most of your free time. Exploring Europe became that simple, leaving all other moments to absorb and experience. I've never so clearly remembered details from a vacation before. The operator is a great way to take the stress out of seeing a new place. Aaron, our tour guide, and Rocket, our coach driver, truly enhanced the experience with their knowledge, expert planning, humor and cameraderie. I'll definitely be traveling with Expat again in the hopefully not so distant future.

Undoubtedly one of the most memorable trips we have had with this tour operator - made so primarily by the leader, Sara, the wonderful farmhouse hospitality under "Mama" and the general cohesiveness of the group which blended well.

In summary a very energetic, informative holiday in great surroundings with an interesting group of people. The organization of the trip and the guide from this tour company were up to their usual excellent standard. The accommodation is spacious comfortable with good food and helpful and accommodating farm family members catering to most of the walkers wants. All in all a great holiday.

This is our 3rd walking & trekking trip with this tour company and what a fabulous trip it was. Staying in the beautiful family run Braccicorti Lodge, drinking their home made Grappa and chatting and laughing together as a group. We were 4 couples and 3 singles and everyone enjoyed each other's company. Some were faster than others but our guide ensured we operated as a group. My husband would have liked another week sitting by the swimming pool.

This holiday takes you through rural and semi-urban Tuscany, on a loop from Pisa through Florence. We started in Pisa, and spent an enjoyable evening in the city, soaking up the mediaeval architecture and open plazas. Cycling from the city, we headed towards Lucca, a splendid walled city. The ambience and beauty of this city does not disappoint, match by a warm welcome from our hosts. Exploring Lucca by night is truly atmospheric - a must! Splendid place for gastronomes also! Heading from Lucca, we took the loop cycle to the hilly outcrop of Collodi. The winding roads require good map skills and care navigating the turns, but this adds to the interest of the trip. Montecatini was the next stop, an old spa town which was rather quiet; the spas are not open all year - if interested in this aspect, we advise checking opening times before you book. We took a day off here, just to relax and unwind. Heading towards Florence is an amazing part of the trip, as excitement builds as you approach the city. Exploring Florence was undoubtedly amazing, and the gentle cycle back to Pisa was the perfect wind down.
