Ciao, I'm Stefano. A true Tuscan and Florentine local. Born and raised here in Tuscany, in a cold and sunny day of December 1982. I grew up with my grandparents in a place called Fucecchio just 30 mins away from Florence. I learned from my farmers grandparents, love for my land and passion for wines. My first grape harvest that I remember it was when I was 3 years old and of course I pressed grapes with my feet. Since than wines and farming are part of my life and . . . I am a Wine and Beer licesend SOMMELIER since in 2017. I believe in "mente santa and corpore sano", it means healthy mind in helthy body. The only way to really appreciate and taste food and wine. I love trail running and gravel bike riding, in my recent past I was competing in short distances, up to ultra marathons. My bike is called Hildebranda and my van is called Parceval. I have 2 litte girls of 12 and 8 years old. My wife is scottish so I speak english everyday for living. Now it has been 15 years or more that I live in florence, in different neighborhoods to experience the city at its best. For my last 12 years I lead tours in Tuscany, Cinque Terre and Chianti Classico. I did vespa tours and Fiat 500 tours, wine and food experiences and bike tours. I am a LICENSED EXPERT HIKING/BIKING GUIDE for hikes and adventures in the hills around Florence, Tuscany and Cinque terre. I love to organise also MULTIDAYS tours biking, hiking or driving in TUSCANY, UMBRIA and CINQUE TERRE. I love old pilgrimage roads, perfect fro gravel bike rides, so cool. I have organised multidays gravel biking trip like Florence to Rome, or Florence to Assisi or Assisi to Rome, amazing bike rides. I love jumping into new adventures and so I am also an ACTOR for tv commercials for toys , wines and anything I think it worth to advertise with my face. I did theater for few years and this helped me a lot to be a tv commercial actor. Last but not least I have a UNIVERSITY DEGREE in tourism Business with a Thesis in Social tourism - Impacts of tourism in different societies. One more thing I am funny :):):) Wine & Beer Sommelier FISAR Hiking Guide AIGAE University degree in Turism Business - UNIFI Special driving License KB for Taxi and NCC Outdoor first aid - AIGAE BLSD - AIGAE I am not a Licensed art city guide and I won't be able to guide you inside musuems or historical churches.

Best tour and guide (Stefano) we ever had! Fantastic Funny, witty, knowledgeable, good looking are only some of the great things I could say about him. Tour was on time , well planned and paced Truly delightful from end to end I highly recommend
Stefano was SO much fun. The scenery is amazing!! But this tour is not a leisurely walk. This is a real 3.5K hike up a mountain. It is totally worth it. And we had lunch in a castle overlooking the sea. Awesome but not for the faint of heart. But he will customize as you want and runs his own tour company for other adventures.
Stefano is very professional, knowledgeable, patient and genuine when working with our group of 7 people. He is very attentive and accommodating to what we want to do and our needs. He is fun to travel with and would highly recommend him.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Stefano during our tour of Cinque Terre. From the moment we met him, his kindness and warmth made us feel at ease. He went above and beyond. Throughout the trip, we felt safe and happy, thanks to Stefano's attention to detail and his genuine care for our well-being. The clean car and his friendly demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of our journey. Stefano truly made the trip unforgettable, and
Leave Florence in the morning, to reach the Cinque Terre national park. We will stop in Manarola, the second of the 5 villages. Exploring this iconic town with its magnificient harbor before moving to the next town, Corniglia, by train if we hike otherwise we move to Vernazza by train. Corniglia is the smallest and the less trafficed of all five towns. Vernazza is the prettiest of them all, a true pleasure for the eyes but also the busiest of them all Have lunch in Vernazza and than moving foawrd to Monterosso. From Monterosso we will have a boat ride or will take the train heading back to Manarola. (depends on the sea conditions, known only in the morning of the experience) We will stop in Pisa to walk along the field of miracles before heading back to Florence Itineary totally customisable. *hiking or not hiking up to you *We can choose together wich towns to visit *we can choose the timing together
