Stayed in Bardi, amazing place with loads of fabulous restaurants, bars and local things to do. The castle is marvellous with a fascinating museum within it, lots of history surrounds Bardi including it was named after on of Hannibal's elephants when he travelled through the area around 218 BC!

Having a car makes travel around Tuscany much easier even though the public transport is great. Avoid driving in the big cities like Florence and Bologna.

Efficient friendly service with great price 8 seater van.
The service was efficient and friendly. Emails were swiftly answered. Van (8 seater Previa) was old and had a few knocks (I don’t care) and aftermarket reverse cam was difficult to view at night. Price was very attractive though and staff informed me they will be replacing the older vans so look forward to booking with them next time.
