    Touring with Gino with Joe Banana was a highlight of our Italy vacation!

    We can't rave enough about our 2-day tour of Tuscany with Gino! He was super informative, completely charming, and a wonderful (and safe) driver! We pre-selected our destinations, but we went to a couple more along the way at Gino's suggestion and they did not disappoint! He showed us the Florence American Cemetery - very moving (we're from the USA). and we made a stop in Cortona at Gino's suggestion - it will be forever in our memories as it was our first Tuscan town. We HIGHLY recommend Joe Banana tours!

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your enthusiastic review of your 2-day tour of Tuscany with our guide, Gino. We are thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic experience and that Gino's knowledge, charm, and safe driving made the tour even more enjoyable. We are delighted that Gino's suggestions for additional destinations along the way exceeded your expectations. Exploring the Florence American Cemetery must have been a poignant and meaningful experience, especially as visitors from the USA. We are glad that Gino took you to Cortona, your first Tuscan town, and created lasting memories for you. At Joe Banana Italy, we strive to provide personalized and unforgettable experiences and we are thrilled that Gino's suggestions and expertise enhanced your tour. Going above and beyond to ensure our customers' satisfaction is something we take pride in. Thank you for recommending Joe Banana tours. Your kind words mean a lot to us and serve as a testament to the quality of our services. We are grateful for the opportunity to showcase the beauty of Tuscany and create unforgettable memories for you.

    Florence in Full was amazing! Our guide Alberto was wonderful- absolutely the best! He met us at the Livorno Pier and gave wonderful I for.ation on the ride to Florence. The tour started with the beautiful view from on high of the beautiful city of Florence. He took us through small villages on the way there to get the flavor of Italy. Alberto suggested a wo derful ace to eat lunch and told us good places to go shopping. He customized our trip as half of the ladies were shoppers and walked a lot and half wanted to just enjoy the beauty of the city. Alberto even took is to a great place to get gelato on the way out of the city. Joe Bananas is a great company to work with- we were kept up to date with emails and while on the way home Maria from Joe Bananas called to make sure the tour went well.

    Florence in Full: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Spezia.

    How much does Florence in Full cost?

    +

    Prices start at $591 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Spezia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Florence in Full take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Spezia is not rushed.

    Is Florence in Full worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in La Spezia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Florence in Full?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Florence in Full suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Florence in Full?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Spezia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Spezia and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Florence in Full start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Spezia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Spezia?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Spezia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include La Spezia: Taste Cinque Terre on a Food Tour by Do Eat Better, Portovenere & Three Islands Small Group Boat Tour from La Spezia, Cinque Terre Daytime Boat Tour : escape into beauty and color. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Spezia?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Spezia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Florence in Full?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; All taxes, parking tolls, gasoline and driver maintenance; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Stops at the main sites in Florence, such as the Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo and m. Not included: Entrance Fees and guides in sites; Meals and Drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
