Top Tuscany Layover Tours

We spent a wonderful day at sea with Leo aboard his Gozzo Alma. We were deeply impressed by the beauty of the coastline he showed us, and by the experiences beneath the water that he made possible with such knowledge and care.The food prepared on board was another highlight. It gave us a sense of the importance attached here to good, locally produced food – something that clearly matters both to those fortunate enough to live in this beautiful region and to visitors like us.It was a truly memorable day, combining the beauty of the sea and coastline with Leo’s intimate knowledge of the place. We are very grateful for the experience and will remember it with great pleasure.

The boat tour was amazing, the water crystal clear, beautiful swimming, and the “lite” lunch was out of this world! Leo made enough food for 10 and there was only 2.

Alessandro is an amazing person and provided an incredible service to our family. His kindness and great tips during the tours made everything easier, specially while traveling with young kids. The van is comfortable, have great air conditioning, which made the longest tours smoother. We will definitely book him again when we go back to Italy.

We spent 9+ hours on our curated Tuscan tour with Alessandro in mid May 2026. It was so wonderful, he thoughtfully picked beautiful views, towns, restaurants and wineries. Great conversations, comfortable van. Could not ask for more. The personal experience vs large tour buses experience can’t compare.

We enjoyed this time on the boat, and Leo was a very friendly captain. He provided a fantastic farm to table lunch with great wine. He suggested we go to the winery on our own, which we did, and it was so beautiful! We highly recommend this!

Bucket List- checked off!! This excursion exceeded my expectations. The weather was perfect, the captain “Leo” was so nice and prepared a fabulous snack, lunch for us. Farm to table ingredients. He even pulled fresh basil from the plant on the boat. The water was crystal clear and so refreshing. I would do this excursion again but I would make sure my hotel was a lot closer to the marina.

Allessandro promptly picked us up. He wore a big smile and was very charismatic. He drove us to our first vineyard , which was a great experience. We met a charming young lady that educated us on the small family business of running a winery. . In route, he shared info about places we were passing and educated us on communities , farms and vineyards. Our second stop was a small village where he gave us an excellent recommendation for lunch. He gave us all the time we needed, not feeling rushed and giving us freedom to dine and shop. Our third stop was a wine tasting which was another village where he guided us to the tour and then again gave us time to enjoy and told us where to meet when we were ready. Places we never would have found on our own. We saw Italy in a whole new perspective with these countryside locations. .We were with him for about 11 hours, we never felt like a burden, he always wore a smile and was informative, friendly and a very good driver. I highly recommend Alessandro for your next tour. You won’t be disappointed and your day will be extra meaningful for having shared our day with him.

Molto bene!!! Alessandro was the best, so perfect at his job! I had a wonderful day and would definitely book again with him and recommend this special tour!

We had a six hour tour with Captains Leo and Fabio aboard their largest boat for our group of nine. Everything in advance was handled with good communication and advance expectations. Once on board we had a great time cruising and then getting water time at two locations. The lunch and drinks were excellent and everyone especially the kids had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour and company. The only suggestion I would be make is having some type of floats for those who are not confident swimmers but they did provide life jacket floats for the little guys. Excellent time! Thank you!!

If I could this boat tour a 10, I would! We had the most amazing time with our half day boat tour around the Tuscany Coast. Leo, our boat captain was very knowledgeable of the area and knew the best spots for that particular time. Even with the sun hiding for most of the day, the water was very clear and could see multiple sea life. We mostly used the paddle board to get around which was great for having a couple people able to explore the area. To wine down the adventure, Leo prepared some yummy pizza, bread and salami to nibble on and provided some delicious white wine from a local winery. He then prepared a fresh cold pasta that was so good, I could eat every day. We thank Leo for providing us a lovely morning that our family will never forget! Thank you again!

An unforgettable experience! 🌊 Captain Leo is incredibly friendly, attentive and professional. With Sole Meo – Charter & Boat we discovered the most beautiful beaches and hidden coves of the Gulf of Follonica and the Tuscan Maremma. Comfortable boat, crystal clear water and a host who arranges everything to perfection. Definitely recommended!

This was an exceptionally fantastic experience. Leo is a great host and so accommodating and passionate. We’re still dreaming about the lunch and wine he provided. It was so worth the drive from our hotel. We highly recommend!

Amazing day, a big thank you to you Captain Leo, you knew how to make this day exceptional and unforgettable. The boat, the sea, the coves, the crystal clear water and snorkeling were treasures for us but also your personality and our exchanges were a real gift Leo

I’ve taken many tours all over the world .There is always a doubt when booking something online. This was gone in the first minute of meeting our driver Alessandro was AMAZING! Professional and Knowledgeable of the area and its rich history. He has great energy and is a very safe driver. The van was spotless and he let us take the time we needed to see the places we’ve only dreamed of. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Pay the extra money and treat yourself to a day you will always remember! 5 Stars -Tim

Costs something, but then you definitely have something! Nice boat, big enough to sit and lie for our family of 5. Captain Leo is relaxed and talks nicely about the area. The bays are quiet and you can swim and snorkel. Don't expect tropical fish and coral. But the water is very clear. Tasty snacks, soft drinks and a bottle of wine on board.

When booking this kind of activity, there is always a risk: between what is written on the advertisement and what actually happens, there can be disappointments. And there, from beginning to end, we were pleasantly surprised: the quality of the boat, the welcome and wise advice of our captain Leo, the places visited, the food prepared with local products... in short, everything was perfect and we can only recommend this activity. The value for money is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy 😉
