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.

Overview of your Florence tour

Explore the marvelous Florence hills and Chianti by foot. I am taking you to explore the beauty of Florence from the hills around the city, in a quiet enchanting environment. We will visit the oldest quarries in Florence, where the famous Pietra Serena stone has been extracted since the Etruscan times and we will see where the first man succeeded to fly thanks to Leonardo Da Vinci's invention. Hiking through beautiful cypress woods is magic and relaxing with stunning views of the Dome of Florence. This unique experience will give you the best views of the city without tourists around you and I will show you the best view of the Dome, from a secret bench that I discovered off the beaten paths. At the end of the tour we stop in a Farm for lunch where you can rest before going back to Florence. Hiking tour: Trail running or hiking shoes required, running shoes are ok but a bit too light for some sections or time of the year Experience beauty of Florence from a very local perspective!

Your Florence tour itinerary

We will reach the hills north of Florence. From a small town of Fiesole we will walk in the protected area of Monte Ceceri, where quarries, cypress trees and Leonardo Da Vinci machines are waiting for us to be discovered. The walk follows the ancient path that was going around Florence till Compiobbi. This path is one of the most scenic hikes in Tuscany. You have the Dome of Florence always next to you. The secret bench is a magic place where we will enjoy a glass of wine before heading downhill for lunch. Notes: This tour can be customized as you wish. For example: I can bring red wine or white wine or beer. I can rent a larger vehicle, for this tour taxi is the perfect option. I can arrange your meal following your food restrictions or not considered if you want to skip it. I can extend the hike to have the whole day hiking or I can cut parts to make it shorter. The tour normally runs in the mornings but it can be done in the afternoons as well. The tour can be customised just to watch the sunset
