Meet the Man Behind the Wheel
A retired military veteran, an Estrella Mountain Ranch resident, and a chauffeur who treats every ride like it's his own family in the back seat.
Tony Lombardi
Owner & Operator
Retired Military Veteran
Our Founder
A Lifetime of Service. A New Standard of Excellence.
After more than two decades of dedicated military service, Tony Lombardi brought the discipline, precision, and commitment that defined his career to a new mission: creating a transportation experience where every guest feels genuinely cared for.
Touch of Excellence began in New England in 2015 with a single vehicle and a simple promise—to provide more than transportation. After relocating to Arizona, Tony introduced that promise to Estrella Mountain Ranch in 2023. Today, Touch of Excellence AZ proudly serves the West Valley, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and communities throughout the Valley of the Sun.
Tony understands that the journey is often part of something much bigger: a long-awaited vacation, an important business meeting, a wedding, an anniversary, a night to remember, or the simple peace of knowing someone you love will arrive safely. That is why every detail matters—from the immaculate vehicle and thoughtfully planned route to the warm, professional service that allows guests to relax and be fully present.
You will still often find Tony behind the wheel, personally welcoming and transporting his clients. When another professional chauffeur is entrusted with the journey, each is carefully trained to uphold his uncompromising standards of safety, professionalism, discretion, and hospitality.
Whether providing a seamless ride to Sky Harbor, transportation for a special celebration, or a scenic escape through Arizona's wine country, Tony's goal remains the same: to make every mile feel effortless and every guest feel valued.
For Tony, this is more than a business. It is the continuation of a lifetime devoted to serving others.
Touch of Excellence AZ isn't simply transportation—it's the experience within your experience.
