 Verificata Excellent, professional airport transfers Lucca/Pisa
Excellent airport transfer service from Lucca to Pisa Airport. Elena in the office was friendly and efficient, replying to my emails and taking my calls in English. Due to the strike on 20th June I had to order two transfers at fairly short notice (less than 48 hrs). Both arrived in good time - lovely Mercedes people carriers in great condition with smart and professional drivers (Alberto and Eugenio). The price was fixed at €90 regardless of luggage. I would wholeheartedly recommend this excellent company.

 Verificata Outstanding choice!
We were in the Lucca area in September 2024 and hired this company for an airport transfer as well as a trip to the La Spezia train station and back. We had just an outstanding experience from start to finish. From our original email inquiring about services, to booking our cars, to our experiences with the wonderful drivers. This transportation company is an excellent and reliable option and we will certainly be reaching out to them again in the future. Thank you Katia and Susanna for your help and support and thank you as well to our three wonderful drivers!

 Verificata Great service!
As the E3 bus from Pisa airport to Lucca is no longer running, we looked for another option for our transfer. We saw Tau Touring recommended on TA so contacted them for a quote. They gave us a good price and we booked a car for the airport to Lucca and back again on our return home.Contact with Tau Touring was excellent. Our drivers were right on time, very pleasant and great drivers. Both journeys were very comfortable and it was well worth the money to avoid two different public transport options and quite a long walk with luggage. I highly recommend Tau Touring.

 Verificata Pisa, Lucca and Wineries!
We hired Tau Touring to be our driver for the day while at the Livorno cruise port. EXCELLENT! Giovanni was the best host we could have hoped for. He picked us up and took us to Pisa, then we were off to a winery tour. Afterwards we visited Lucca, where Giovanni walked us around and showed us some great historical sites. We had a great lunch, then went to another winery and on the way back to our ship, he stopped a secret little pastry shop for a quick desert. Giovanni was fantastic! We had other drivers booked for additional ports, but none of them compared to Giovanni. He was GREAT!

 Verificata Going over and beyond
Our second visit to Lucca using Tau Touring to transfer us from Pisa airport to our apartment in Lucca. Lovely comfortable taxi with a great driver Alberto. Our return journey from Lucca to Pisa had its problems. My husband was hit by an electric scooter during our holiday ending up in hospital, unable to put any weight on his leg. Alberto arrived at the end of our holiday to return us to the airport. He helped my husband get into thetaxi and then at the airport got a wheelchair and escourted us and our luggage to departures. All with friendliness and concern. Thank you Tau and Alberto for going over and beyond.
