Hi! I am Roberto, born and raised in Siena, a city in the heart of the Tuscan region of Italy. I am a highly dedicated and professional driver. I am enthusiastic and curious, inspired by my work and delighted when discovering hidden corners and new realities with my clients. Human interaction and intuitive insight are the secret to doing this job well. I pride myself on being sensitive and available, listening carefully to travellers' needs and paying the added attention it takes to make a travel and dining experience outstanding. My personal interests have served as training for the work I take great pleasure in doing. I have travelled across four continents and thoroughly enjoy meeting people and exchanging ideas. I am an avid reader and live by my father's creed: "Read! Ignorance is your worst enemy. If you don't know history, you don't know who you are. If you don't know geography, you don't know where you are". Last, but not least is my passion for eating and drinking…and well! I am a "buon gustaio" (literally translated: "good taster") and have extensive experience thanks to my mother's cooking. Meals in my family were the "family briefing"; that moment when excellent food and better wine brought us together for a peaceful rundown of our day. As for the future, I am dedicated to deepening my knowledge and expertise, in particular in the areas of food and wine. I have learned countless things from my experience so far and am looking forward to unearthing new hidden treasures together on a day tour soon! Certified Driver with professional experience as a driver guide. Fully Vaccinated Please note that I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of historical monuments and will not be able to accompany you on portions of the tour denoted by * - these parts of the tour will be un-guided.

Overview of your Florence tour

Follow in the Master's footsteps as you trace Michelangelo's tracks to the marble quarries of Carrara. Carrara is where he went (250 miles was no small feat then) to hand pick his marble for his Pieta' and from which came the marble for, yes, the David. I will take you on the special Carrara marble tour. Nowhere in the world is like the "Cinque Terre" or "Five Lands": Riomaggiore, Corniglia, Manarola, Vernazza, Monterosso. These quaint, colorful seaside towns combine with the blues and greens in nature to create a stunning, scenic palette. I will drive you to Manarola and from there you can grab the Cinque Terre Express" train or a water taxi boat to discover the 5 villages on your own. I will meet you again to Monterosso, at the end of your journey The area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Roberto was one of the best drivers we have had, both knowledgeable and working with us. I would recommend him to anyone that wants a tour with an excellent driver
