The rolling cypress-lined hills of Tuscany between Siena and the Val d'Orcia

Private group transfers · 3–8 people · one van

Rome, Pisa or Florence to your Tuscan hotel.

Your group of 3–8 lands together and travels together — one nine-seat Mercedes van, one fixed price for the vehicle, and a licensed local driver who lives in the hills you are heading for.

The transfer

Six of you, two taxis, two prices. Or one van.

A group of 3–8 is exactly the size that ordinary taxis handle badly: you get split across two cars, quoted twice, and arrive at different times. I take the whole group in one vehicle for one price — the same figure whether there are three of you or eight.

  • Door to door. Arrivals hall to your hotel, villa or agriturismo — not to a station or a rank.
  • All the luggage. Nine seats means eight guests still leave room for the cases.
  • Tolls, fuel and parking are in the quoted price. Nothing is added afterwards.
  • Child seats on request — tell me the ages when you book.
  • The same driver every time, so your return run is already arranged.

Routes

The runs I do most weeks

Every journey is quoted per vehicle on request — send your date and group size and the price comes back the same day. If your destination is not on the list, it is still a yes.

The vehicle

One white Mercedes Vito. Nine seats, eight guests, all the cases.

  • 9 seats
  • 8 guests + luggage
  • Air-con throughout

How booking works

Four messages and it is done.

  1. 1

    Send me the details

    Date, flight number, how many of you and where you are staying. WhatsApp is fastest — it is me reading it, not an agency.

  2. 2

    You get one fixed price

    For the whole van, not per person. Agreed before you travel, so nothing changes on the day.

  3. 3

    I am there when you land

    I follow the flight, so a delay is my problem and not yours. Name sign at arrivals, help with every case, then straight to your door.

  4. 4

    Pay at the end

    Credit card, PayPal, Cash — whatever suits your group. No account, no online checkout.

Cancellation terms depend on the service and how far ahead you cancel — just ask when you book. Booking runs through whatsapp, phone, enquiry form.

Where I am based

Most drivers come out from Florence. I am already in your valley.

My address is in Colle di Val d'Elsa, between Siena and San Gimignano — the middle of where you are going. That means earlier pick-ups, later returns, and no dead mileage on your quote.

  • Siena 30 min
  • Florence Airport (FLR) 65 min
  • San Gimignano 25 min
  • Volterra 40 min
  • Pisa Airport (PSA) 80 min
  • Val d'Orcia 65 min

Further afield, same van

  • Rome Fiumicino (FCO) about 3 h 15
  • Rome Ciampino (CIA) about 3 h 10
  • Venice Marco Polo (VCE) about 3 h 30
  • Milan Malpensa (MXP) about 4 h 15

The photo stops

I know exactly where to stand, and when.

The cypress avenues, the lone chapel, the farmhouse in the mist — with times of day, light direction and the truth about parking. Ask me to build them into your transfer day.

Who drives you

Nicola Borghesi

I run Taxi Colle di Nicola Borghesi from Colle di Val d'Elsa, in the province of Siena. There is no office and no call centre: you message me, I answer, and I am the one at arrivals with your name.

I hold a regular NCC private-hire licence and full insurance, I speak English and Italian, and I drive 24/7 — including the 6 a.m. run to Pisa nobody else wants.

Most of my work is groups arriving at the villas and hotels around Siena, Casole d'Elsa and Chianti. Many book the return leg before they have unpacked.

Good to know

What groups ask before booking

All questions & answers →
How many people fit in the van?

Up to 8 passengers with their luggage, in a nine-seat Mercedes Vito. Groups of three to eight are exactly what the van is for — you all travel together instead of being split across two cars. For larger parties I can arrange a second vehicle; just tell me the number.

Do you charge per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. The price is the same whether there are three of you or eight, which is what makes a group transfer good value — the more of you, the less it costs each. Every journey is quoted on request, so send me your date, airport and group size and the figure comes back.

Which airports do you cover?

Florence Peretola (FLR) and Pisa Galileo Galilei (PSA) are the closest, both a little over an hour away. I also drive to and from Rome Fiumicino (FCO) and Ciampino (CIA), Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Linate (LIN), Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY), Venice Marco Polo (VCE) and Naples Capodichino (NAP).

Can you drive us to a villa in the middle of nowhere?

Yes — that is most of my work. Hotels, villas, agriturismi and farmhouses down unsealed white roads around Siena, Casole d'Elsa, Chianti and the Val d'Orcia. Send me the address or a map pin and I will find it; if the last stretch is rough, I will tell you in advance.

What happens if our flight is delayed?

I follow the flight and move the pick-up time myself, so a delay is my problem rather than yours. Send me the flight number when you book and there is nothing else for you to do. I am available around the clock, so early departures and night arrivals are both fine.

How do we book, and how do we pay?

Message me on WhatsApp or call me on +39 335 571 8753 with your date, flight, group size and where you are staying — both ring on my own phone, and that is the fastest way to a price. If you would rather write it out, the contact form reaches me too. There is no online checkout and no account to create: I confirm directly with you, and you pay at the end by credit card, PayPal or cash, whichever suits your group.

What if our plans change?

Cancellation terms depend on the service and how far ahead you cancel, so ask me when you book and I will tell you exactly where you stand. In practice the earlier you let me know, the easier it is for both of us.

What is included in the price?

Fuel, motorway tolls and parking are inside the quoted figure — nothing is added at the end. Child seats can be fitted on request; tell me the ages when you book. On day tours, winery tasting fees and lunch are paid directly where you stop.

Are you a tour guide?

No — I am a licensed private driver (NCC), which in Italy is a different profession from a licensed tour guide. I drive you, I know the territory and the best places to stop, and I look after the whole day. If you would like expert commentary inside a museum or historic centre, I can arrange a licensed local guide to meet us there.

Is there anything we need to bring?

Only a valid ID — passengers travel from 18 upwards, and younger children are of course welcome with their family. Tell me the number of suitcases along with the number of people, so I know the luggage genuinely fits before you land.

What does a transfer cost?

There is no fixed price list, because the figure depends on the route, the date and the time of day. Every journey is quoted per vehicle on request, and the quote is the whole cost — fuel, tolls and parking included, nothing added at the end. Send me the airport, the destination, the date and how many of you there are, and the price comes back the same day. It does not change once agreed.

Do you speak English?

Yes — I speak English and Italian, and the whole booking can happen in English from the first WhatsApp message to the drive itself. That matters most at arrivals with a delayed flight or a change of plan, when you want to sort something out quickly rather than through a translation app.

Where are you based, and does that matter?

I am based in Colle di Val d'Elsa, in the province of Siena, between Siena and San Gimignano. It matters more than it sounds: most drivers serving these villas come out from Florence or Rome, so you pay for their empty journey in both directions. Starting from the middle of the area means earlier pick-ups, later returns and no dead mileage on your quote. Siena is about 30 minutes away, San Gimignano about 25.

Tell me your flight and how many of you. I'll send one price back.

Nothing to pay online, no account to create — a message, a fixed figure, and a driver waiting at arrivals.
