Arriving in Livorno on a cruise ship and would like to take a day trip to Tuscany/Wine country. Does anyone have a recommendation? My husband does not want to rent a car.

Per Rick's book for Florence & Tuscany (2009), he recommends an American named Annie Adair, who is "an excellent private guide and can oragnize wine or cheese farm tours."

BJ,
I heard from Annie. Not sure "when" your trip is but she's booked solid from July 12-22. She gave me a name of another tour guide but its at home. I will email that info to you later today or tomorrow.

In May I scheduled a private tour with Gianni of Tours around Tuscany. He was a great guy/guide, we had a delightful day. He picked us up in Siena.

I used Roberto with Roberto's Tours last summer and he was great. He is based in Siena but will meet you wherever. He took us to an Etruscan tomb, a tiny medieval village now inhabited by 25 people, a fabulous winery, and a trattoria over looking the Tuscan countryside. Our meal was awesome. He was recommended in Rick's 2008 Italy book. You can find him on the web using Roberto's tours.
