I was born, raised and I still live in a small town called Cecina, 30 minutes south of Pisa and the port of Livorno and about an hour from Florence. I have been working with passion every single day and met wonderful people from all over the World making myself love more and more my job and the beauties of my country. Having the opportunity to show you where I live, talking about our traditions and be lucky to be your guide for one day, is undoubtedly an honour for me, and I will do all my best to make your day in Italy memorable and unforgettable! As a Driving-Guide, I can provide tours with comfortable 8 seater air conditioning vehicles (Mercedes or similar), with water and wi-fi on board so that you can share the moments of your tour with family and friends.

What a wonderful tour! Gianmaria was a fantastic driver guide offering a grand tour through the Tuscan countryside. After picking us up in Florence, we started at Monteriggioni, a quaint little medieval village offering great views of the countryside. Then we moved on to Sienna for the Duomo and Piazza del Campo. We up to the wall and were rewarded again with some amazing views of the surrounding region. Following Sienna we went to an amazing organic winery, Tenuta Casanova, where we enjoyed a fabulous lunch with wine tasting. The wines were exquisite and the food even better. I can honestly say I had the best lasagna I've ever eaten there! After lunch, we started back to Florence with a stop at San Gimignano, another medieval marvel of a township. We climbed all the way to the top including the bell tower, rewarded again with incredible views. All along the way, Gianmaria was informative, patient, and proved a very safe driver. His van was roomy, comfortable and clean. He has a great, outgoing personality and really offered us a delightful tour day. I highly recommend Gianmaria and would use him again in the future!

Stop right now and book this tour! Gianmaria set up an amazing day for us! He is fun, friendly, and accommodating. Before our tour, we talked about our vision for the day. Gianmaria exceeded our expectations by a mile. We had an amazing day touring, tasting, eating, learning, and laughing at amazing wineries in Chianti. The teams at the wineries were also entertaining and accommodating. Book this tour now. I'll be calling Gianmaria for our next trip to the region.
