Hi! I'm Francesco, I was born and raised in Florence where I lived most of my life. For the last half of my life I've been living in a house a little outside of Florence, in the Chianti area, the "Wine" area! Right after high school, I started working in the art business along with my father who has been an antiques dealer for over 30 years. I always loved art and always wanted to work with it and I think that growing up in a city like Florence with a father that has always taught me so much about art and history inspired me a lot. I've been working as an art dealer since 2012, loving it, and I'm still in that field. Thanks to that job I had the opportunity to travel a lot in my life, especially in the US where I've been many times. I also lived one year in Miami studying the english language and a few months in New York City. Since I always loved working with others, and most of all, the social interaction with people from different countries, I decided to throw myself in the tourist business and I became a tour guide. From that moment on I had wonderful experiences with so many different people from different countries. Considering that I've been a tourist myself many times in my life and I always loved and encouraged the idea of living the place instead of just visiting it, when I do tours I try to give an intimate view of the city, doing my best to let you experience everything from a real local perspective, sharing my love for this town and having also in mind that I see most of the places we'll be going through, as my home. . . the streets, my gym, my school, the bars. . . where I spent my youth and my life. So, if you are willing to explore the art, heritage, beauty and life of this town with a real local by your side, let's get in touch!

Let's take a trip through Chianti, maybe the most famous "wine area" of Tuscany! This place, the gorgeous countryside called Chianti, is very important to me since I've been living here for many years so far and I can consider it part of my life and my home. . . The same countryside loved and portrayed by the renaissance artists. In this private tour through the beautiful hillside between Florence and Siena we will see nice country villages and wineries, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. . . and of course have wonderful tastings experiencing this land full of history and culture.
Chianti area towns, villages and wineries. Even if we can custumise the tour together and decide the itinerary, I would suggest this one: -Chianti Classico vine area - Badia a Passignano (visit at the Monastery) - Montefioralle - Greve - Castellina in Chianti and more. . . Through our trip you will have tastings of oil, wine and lunch trying our Tuscany specialities and most of all the wine!
