We will be in Venice in July for 3 days and then will be going to Florence. We'd like to hire driver to take us and are looking for recommendations.. Thank you
Do you want to make stops at odd places along the way or is there any other reason for not just taking the train?
It will cost significantly more than train
And be a lot slower.
Guess I have the same question: why not take the train? Faster, and less expensive, unless there are a fair amount of you to split the cost. Still, it's nice to have a roomy train seat, big windows, and a restroom onboard!
Unless there is someone with mobility issues in your party, the high speed train is a faster and cheaper choice.
A private car will cost you approximately 600 euro and the travel time is about 3 hours.
The high speed train takes you city center to city center in 2 hours and a standard class seat costs from 34 to 57 euro per person (depending on available discounts)
Any driver working for Trenitalia or Italotreno would be recommended.
