Angela Pickren –
Amazing tour and transfer service. Don’t hesitate to use ArtViva. Rose helped us plan our transfer service from Rome to Florence based on what we would enjoy. Jonathan was an excellent and attentive host and driver. The private tour of the farm was very informative and just lovely. This is the place you visualize when you think of Tuscany. The cheese, wine and food was superb. The view was incredible. It met every expectation. I definitely plan to go back and look forward to planning more tours with ArtViva.
