So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Know more about traveling from Montevarchi
Absolutely. Montevarchi sits in a prime position between Florence, Arezzo, and Siena, all reachable within an hour. The Chianti wine region, San Giovanni Valdarno, and several designer shopping outlets are also close by. It is an excellent, less-crowded alternative to staying in the major tourist centers while still accessing Tuscany's top attractions.
The historic town center is relatively compact and can be explored on foot. Some streets in the medieval area have cobblestones and gentle slopes that may present challenges for strollers and wheelchairs. The main piazzas and flat sections along the riverside are generally more accessible. It is worth checking specific venues in advance if accessibility is a priority.
Tipping in Italy is appreciated but not obligatory. Many restaurant bills include a "coperto" (cover charge), which covers bread and table service. Rounding up the bill or leaving a few euros for attentive service is a thoughtful gesture. For taxis and other services, rounding up to the nearest euro is a common practice.
The medieval town center, including Piazza Varchi and the Collegiate Church of San Lorenzo, is worth exploring on foot. Key cultural stops include the Paleontological Museum, which houses a remarkable mammoth skeleton, and Il Cassero per la Scultura, a sculpture museum set in a historic fortification. The surrounding Valdarno countryside also rewards those who venture out of town.
Italy uses the euro (EUR). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops throughout Tuscany. Smaller cafes, markets, and independent vendors often prefer cash, so it is a good idea to keep some euros on hand. ATMs are available in Montevarchi's town center.
Late spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) are ideal, with warm, pleasant weather and the Tuscan countryside at its most beautiful. Summer can be hot and busy. Autumn is especially rewarding for wine lovers, as the grape harvest season brings a festive atmosphere to the vineyards of the surrounding Chianti area.
The official language is Italian. In Montevarchi, English is spoken by some hotel and restaurant staff, but it is less common than in larger Italian cities. Locals warmly appreciate any effort to speak Italian, even just a few basic phrases. A translation app can be very helpful in smaller shops and markets.
Tuscany's culinary traditions are rich and deeply satisfying. In the Valdarno area, look for bistecca alla Fiorentina (grilled Florentine steak), ribollita (hearty Tuscan bread soup), pappardelle with wild boar ragu, and local Chianti wines. Fresh pasta, cured meats, and aged pecorino cheeses are staples at local restaurants and markets.
