About this tour
Skip the coach queues and travel privately between Venice and Florence in a Mercedes with your own driver. This 5-hour transfer breaks the journey in Bologna, where you'll wander beneath centuries-old arcades, eat proper tagliatelle al ragù in the birthplace of ragù itself, and sample mortadella and gelato before heading south. Your driver tracks your flight, adjusts for delays automatically, and handles logistics so you arrive refreshed at your Florentine or Tuscan door.

What to expect
Your driver greets you on arrival with a name sign and settles in for the Venice-to-Florence run. Expect a smooth, climate-controlled journey with Wi-Fi to catch up on emails or browse ahead. Around the midway point, you'll pull into Bologna for a proper two-hour pause — enough time to walk the UNESCO porticoes without rushing, grab lunch at a trattoria serving the region's tagliatelle al ragù, and taste artisan gelato. Then it's back on the road to Florence or your Tuscan destination, arriving refreshed rather than cramped.
