Our trip to Italy was wonderful. Thanks to everyone at Best Tuscan Tours for making us all feel well cared for! As Leif can attest our group was very diverse in personalities, riding abilities and interests, but he made us all feel this this trip was designed for each of us! I can't say enough about Leif, all of the drivers (especially Francesco!) and the folks at the villa. And a huge thank you to whoever wants to take credit for the weather!

I know everyone feels as I do and we will all highly recommend Best Tuscan Tours to anyone we know planning a trip to Italy. Colette was so very patient with all our changes; Leif put up with our picture taking and inability to find our way around Florence! and Francesco was the perfect host to those who chose not to ride parts of the day.

Again, you are a wonderful group of hosts and certainly "know your stuff".

Thank you all so much. You made my job of coordinating this much easier and more enjoyable - everything went perfectly.

Dear Colette,

We had the best vacation. Thanks so much for all your help. I must confess that I was a little nervous about the house and even Dicomano. The town was not on any tour guides and there was very little information. Everything exceeded our expectations. The house was fabulous. The pictures do not do it justice. The setting is perfect. We especially liked Dicomano. It was not touristy which was great and it was quant without being cutesy. The train station was a breeze to locate and is an easy ride to Firenze.

Leif and Roberto did an excellent job. The routes were perfect. I was specific in my request for distances and grade and Leif picked rides that precisely matched my request.

You were very patient and we thank you for all your hard work. Let me not forget Roberto. He will always be my image of a traditional Italian. He went out of his way to let us know the proper ways of an Italian. He is so proud of his country and rightfully so.

If you ever need me as a reference I will gladly supply a glowing recommendation.

Thanks

Mark
