Before proposing a customised itinerary with a driver, the route must be thought through carefully:
Distances: assess carefully the distances between stops and the real driving times.
Lunch break: always allow an adequate lunch break.
Never go round in circles: the stops must follow a logical sequence, with no doubling back. Example: if you visit Siena and San Gimignano with lunch in the Chianti, the order of the stops must form a continuous route, not a back-and-forth.
The farthest stop first: between two locations, go first to the farther one and then to the nearer one. The return journey always feels longer, because you are tired.
Always keep a map open while designing the route.
Every move defined, every distance checked. For every move from one point to another it must be clear how the traveller gets there — on foot, by their own means, or with a transfer with a driver provided by us. A distance that looks short on paper may not be short on foot, and a transfer may be pointless if the destination is just a few steps away.
