Tour guide in Siena Patrizia M.

Dear Traveler, I'll be really happy to welcome you in this special land, where I'm living. I was born in Venice where my Grandfather taught me the importance of living in this special town. But, I needed to explore the other countries, mostly European, before to decide to live in Tuscany, Montepulciano my hometown. I can tell you that I was "naturally" born as tour guide, thanks to my birthplace and my family, which gave me all the opportunities I needed to "Welcome people at home". I've got the licences to be a guide since when I was 19 years old and, since that time, I've always improved and upgrated my knowledge for myself and for YOU ALL! My experience: * Tour guide since 1982 in Italy and foreign european countries * Tourist guide of Florence since 2008 * Tourist guide in Tuscany since 2013 * Upgrade as Guide for people with disabilities * Food-lover * Fashion-lover * Passionate of Slow life and Nature My Tours have been really increased with TBL and I'm so thankful because, I can share my CREATIVITY with you, dear ToursByLocals' customers. MY TOURS are per small group and per person. If you'll see a per person cost in the pricing, is because the program will include a lunch or a wine tasting or a pic-nic, which are very very common by requests. After to have spent part of our lives in Florence, me and my husband, we decided to do an important change and to live in one of the best places in Tuscany: Montepulciano, a fantastic old medieval and Renaissance town, close to Pienza and Val d'Orcia (Orcia's Valley - the paradisiac countryside of Tuscany) and the most picturesque villages in Tuscany. This village is not so popular but, honestly, it's so nice and charmant with its wineries called "Cathedrals of wine", settled on top of an huge hill is dividing the Orcia and the Chiana Valleys. The spectacle of the Nature is visible from each corner of the town, really unique! Please, see some pictures in my BIO and you'll better understand what I mean. Everyday, when I'm with my customers, I try to let them feel the touch of the history, the legends, the personalities that walked along the same places they're going through, years or centuries ago. I can't wait to share these feelings also with you! If you'll visit my page, you'll find some ideas of the tours I'm used to share with the travellers coming to Tuscany but, what I do really love is to CREATE with YOU your PERSONAL TAYLOR-MADE tour of Tuscany. Come to Montepulciano, I'm waiting you here! Arrivederci a presto!!!!
