Hello, I'm Massimo, your friendly neighborhood driver-guide based in the stunning city of Florence. I specialize in custom escorted travels across Tuscany and Italy for very small groups, chauffeuring you around in my comfy, air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz. Think of me as your personal Italian superhero, minus the cape! I organize private shore excursions from the ports of Livorno or La Spezia, and day tours from the main Tuscan cities. We’re talking wine tours, cooking classes, outlet shopping sprees—pretty much any kind of customized tour you can imagine. Because I work with smaller groups, I can give you the VIP treatment that makes your Tuscan adventure unforgettable. Just a heads-up, though: I don't do full walking tours or guided museum visits. My superpowers have limits! As your chauffeur, interpreter, and travel consultant, I'll help you pick the best sights, optimize your time, and tweak plans on the fly to match your whims. I’ll also point you to the best restaurants and shopping spots, ensuring you get exactly what you're looking for from your trip—whether it's fun, culture, landscapes, shopping, or delicious food. I’m basically your all-in-one travel genie, minus the lamp. In my secret identity as a travel agent, I can book your accommodations and arrange smooth transfers from any Italian location to Tuscany and back. I also offer pre- and post-cruise packages, all-inclusive tours of Italy, and private transfers to France, Austria, Switzerland, and beyond. I’m like the Swiss Army knife of travel! I'll be there to attend to your needs at all times, not only navigating and handling logistics but also introducing you to friendly locals and hidden gems. This is a unique and genuine travel experience that group tours just can't offer. With such tranquility and charm, it's no surprise that so many famous artists, poets, and musicians have been drawn to Tuscany and Italy. Can't wait to share an amazing journey with you. Arrivederci and ciao for now! - Licensed professional driver (Ncc) - Tourist guide ("Accompagnatore turistico", Certificate issued by Provincia di Firenze in 2001) - From 1992 to 2000, Tour manager for an Italian Tour Operator in many countries around the world. - Licensed Travel Agent since 2001 I am a driver-guide only, and I will not be able to accompany you on some portions of the tour which require long walking. The parts of the itinerary denoted by * will be un-guided, so after my introduction you will be able to explore the area on your own

    We had a great day tour in Tuscany with Massimo. He was very informative about the areas we visited, and very accommodating for whatever we wanted to do. We would definitely use again.

    We had an excellent tour with Massimo. He was fun, knowledgeable, on time and experienced. Our Mercedes van was perfect for the five of us.
