About our owner and founder

Marco founded San Giorgio NCC following a career spanning two decades in the tourism industry as a fully qualified boat captain and diving instructor. Having enjoyed an extensive career in customer service across the globe, he decided to return home to Italy to continue his career working in tourism. With the continued increase in visitors to Tuscany and Bologna, he saw a niche in the market for Italian and English speaking private drivers to provide exceptional and bespoke wine tours and high end private transfers. With an extensive knowledge of wine and decades of experience working with tourists, Marco prides himself on making each trip one to remember for his clients!

Having grown up in an ancient city, close to the Tuscany and Bologna regions, Marco can make excellent local recommendations for our private Tuscany wine tours and our Bologna wine and gourmet tours, often finding those “hidden gems” his clients are looking for – be sure to ask him!

Reviews of San Giorgio NCC

San Giorgio NCC is delighted to have only reviewed 5* reviews from our customers on Google Reviews for our Tuscany Wine Tours and private transfers. Recent reviews can be seen here, and a selection of them are noted below:

“We wanted to have a relaxing day of seeing the Montepulciano area, including visiting 2 wineries and lunch. From start to finish, our experience was superb. I greatly appreciated the detailed communication, + Marco, our driver was such a nice person, and seeing the areas and wineries with a local driver was totally worth it. We loved our lunch spot in Pienza so much that we went back a second time (and going someplace twice is usually against my vacation rules :-). One final note: Because lunch was involved, I let them know that I had a gluten allergy. I was thrilled when the two wineries we visited brought me GF bread for olive oil. This level of attention did not go unnoticed! Thanks, Marco and team for an unforgettable day in Tuscany.”

Lisa Gundlach

“Fantastic job from start to finish.This company provided excellent recommendations was extremely responsive to emails prior to the trip, and when it came time to actually execute, did so flawlessly. Idk how they did it, but we had VIP treatment and access where other tourists did not. They never made a big deal out of it, it just happened. Marco, our guide, brought us from Cortona to Montepulciano with stops for wineries and lunch along the way. It was the highlight of or trip. Highly recommend.”

Dan Santoleri

“San Giorgio NCC helped us put together an excellent winery tour during our stay in the Tuscany region. They were very flexible and accommodating, and Marci (our driver) was extremely knowledgeable and friendly throughout the entire trip. I would highly recommend San Giorgio NCC to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing Tuscan winery tour option!”

Mike Tokar

“San Giorgio NCC helped us plan a wonderful day trip from Florence to several wineries in Montepulciano. They suggested places to go, and even made a last-minute modification due to road conditions. The office staff were very responsive via web chat, email and WhatsApp. Marco arrived early for our pickup in a brand new Hyundai Staria van, which was extremely comfortable and roomy. Marco was excellent – informative, funny, entertaining, and a great driver. We arrived on time for all of our tours, tastings and lunch. I highly recommend Marco and his company when you need a car service in the Florence area.”

Verna Frasca

“San Giorgio NCC was the best transfer service we could’ve ever imaged for our two week trip in Italy. Marco was our driver for three different trips from Florence, to a resort Tuscany, to Venice and then Lake Como. Marco recommend two awesome stops during our drive stopping in an old town in Tuscany and a wonderful winery in the Chianti region. Marco was extremely friendly, helpful, and always on time or early. We truly couldn’t recommend San Giorgio enough! We will definitely be calling Marco again for any trips in Tuscany, he’s the best! ”

Mia Studenroth

“Marco was such an amazing driver! They were very helpful in creating our wine tour day and got us into some great places. We enjoyed going at our own pace rather than being on a strict schedule. It was very relaxing and that AC in necessary. Cannot recommend Marco enough. ”
