Hi! My name is Maile, I was born in Massa, a lovely town in Tuscany, and from my childhood, I had the opportunity to visit and discover my beautiful region: Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Arezzo, the typical Tuscany countryside and the Forests of the Appennini. As I was completing my university's studies in Pisa I used to walk in Piazza dei Miracoli, there were so many people, coming from around the world to visit it! Now I am really honored to have the opportunity to introduce my homeland. I am a licensed tourist guide and I offer a wide variety of standard tours along with custom tours designed to meet your specific wants and needs. My goal is to provide a fun-filled yet informative experience that helps you discover some of the most important cities of Tuscany (Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Arezzo) and help you understand what makes Tuscany one of the most beautiful and artistic relevant places in the world! I'm interested in Art, History, food, theatre, and music. I have a master degree in History of Art and Theatre, I'm a musician, I love to walk and hike in the forest and practice meditation. The tours I offer reflects my passions: we can discover together the amazing beauty of Art in Florence, Pisa, Arezzo, and Lucca. We can discover together the typical Tuscan cuisine, with its local products and wine. We can have a walk and a forest bath in the wonderful forests of the Casentino Valley and visits its castles. I'll be glad to meet you, so feel free to contact me to plan your travel schedule.

Take a day to relax, enjoy an incredible nature and reconnect with yourself
Overview of your Florence tour
When we first time we saw these woods together with my husband we were enchanted and this meeting transformed us. It is not only a matter of great beauty but also of the energy that you breathe among these trees: it is special. Thanks to these woods we have become what we are today: a researcher of biodiversity and environmental guide (my husband) and a person interested in beauty and personal growth (myself). We are waiting for you to guide you in discovering these places. In the Unesco World Heritage site of the National Park of Foreste Casentinesi, we will take some time to relax, maybe practice the experience of meditating walking, and hiking. This tour will be a full immersion into an amazing nature, but without forgetting to taste some good "farm to table products": we'll eat authentic and typical homemade food made in the Valley in a restaurant surrounded by giants trees. In the afternoon we'll visit the medieval castles of the Casentino Valley. Join us in a relaxing and explorative experience.
