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.

Overview of your Florence tour

Travel back a thousand years and discover Monteriggioni, take a walk along its walls and gaze out onto its surrounding, stunningly timeless countryside. Make a pilgrimage to postcard perfect San Gimignano, where 13 of its original 72 towers will envelope you and provide a striking and enchanting backdrop to your visit. I know my Tuscan food and wine. I will make sure that our lunch stop of typical Tuscan cuisine in a countryside setting will give you the best experience there is on offer and, of course, you will toast with a glass of Sangiovese or Chianti Classico. Take in the heart-stopping beauty of the Tuscan countryside that leads into the Chianti Classico wine country. Sample distinctive wines, exquisite extra-virgin olive oil, Vin Santo and Grappa, while expert guides reveal the secrets behind this world renowned wine making process. Stroll down a panoramic road in Castellina in Chianti, a Medieval, Florentine stronghold atop a hill, to where an authentic, handmade gelato tasting awaits you!

Well-organized and flexible Chianti experience with excellent winery visits Roberto provided a very smooth and enjoyable day exploring the Chianti region. He was proactive in advance, and the logistics were excellent throughout. Pickup was seamless, the vehicle was comfortable, and the entire day was easy and well paced. He was also very accommodating and flexible to our interests. He took us to a small medieval hilltop village that we would not have discovered on our own, and he gladly stopped at a Franciscan church and monastery when we expressed interest in visiting. Those spontaneous moments added a lot to the experience. He arranged visits to two outstanding wineries, both of which were highlights. One was a small, family-run vineyard dating back to 1620 with unique high-elevation terroir, and the other was a slightly larger producer with a wider range of wines. Both were excellent, and the hospitality and food were exceptional. Roberto’s strengths are in organizing a comfortable, flexible day and providing access to excellent wineries and locations. He ensured that everything ran smoothly and created a relaxed and enjoyable experience in the Chianti countryside.

Excellent day trip to the Tuscan Hills. We visited 3 Medieval towns, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and Castellina in Chianti. Coming in the middle of winter the crowds were sparse but many things were not open. Our visit to a private winery for tastings and a home made lunch was superb and added that value added touch to the day. It was relaxing and very enjoyable. Roberto was friendly, knowledgeable and a very safe driver.

I had a fantastic experience on our wine tour in Tuscany! Roberto was well-organized from start to finish—the communication was excellent and timely, so we always knew what to expect. The highlight was definitely the wine tasting at a beautiful local winery. The staff was knowledgeable and welcoming, and the wines we sampled were outstanding. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the Tuscan countryside and enjoy some truly exceptional wines!

We were able to customize our tour and incorporate excellent suggestions from Roberto to make this excursion into Tuscany unique and memorable! Roberto's knowledge of the history of the sites we saw added significantly to our understanding of the region. Thanks Roberto!

This tour was more than we expected. Roberto claims not to be a tour guide, but more a driver; however, he drove us to San Gimignano and Siena and provided us with great information on the towns, getting delicious gelato and giving us very interesting cultural and Italian society information. He also arranged a visit to a local winery that I believe has been in the same family for about 13 generations. They provided a lovely lunch cooked by the matron of the family, delicious wines and more gelato. Loved our tour of the Tuscan countryside and it was my favorite part of our trip to Italy.
