Hello, I'm Massimo, your friendly neighborhood driver-guide based in the stunning city of Florence. I specialize in custom escorted travels across Tuscany and Italy for very small groups, chauffeuring you around in my comfy, air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz. Think of me as your personal Italian superhero, minus the cape! I organize private shore excursions from the ports of Livorno or La Spezia, and day tours from the main Tuscan cities. We’re talking wine tours, cooking classes, outlet shopping sprees—pretty much any kind of customized tour you can imagine. Because I work with smaller groups, I can give you the VIP treatment that makes your Tuscan adventure unforgettable. Just a heads-up, though: I don't do full walking tours or guided museum visits. My superpowers have limits! As your chauffeur, interpreter, and travel consultant, I'll help you pick the best sights, optimize your time, and tweak plans on the fly to match your whims. I’ll also point you to the best restaurants and shopping spots, ensuring you get exactly what you're looking for from your trip—whether it's fun, culture, landscapes, shopping, or delicious food. I’m basically your all-in-one travel genie, minus the lamp. In my secret identity as a travel agent, I can book your accommodations and arrange smooth transfers from any Italian location to Tuscany and back. I also offer pre- and post-cruise packages, all-inclusive tours of Italy, and private transfers to France, Austria, Switzerland, and beyond. I’m like the Swiss Army knife of travel! I'll be there to attend to your needs at all times, not only navigating and handling logistics but also introducing you to friendly locals and hidden gems. This is a unique and genuine travel experience that group tours just can't offer. With such tranquility and charm, it's no surprise that so many famous artists, poets, and musicians have been drawn to Tuscany and Italy. Can't wait to share an amazing journey with you. Arrivederci and ciao for now! - Licensed professional driver (Ncc) - Tourist guide ("Accompagnatore turistico", Certificate issued by Provincia di Firenze in 2001) - From 1992 to 2000, Tour manager for an Italian Tour Operator in many countries around the world. - Licensed Travel Agent since 2001 I am a driver-guide only, and I will not be able to accompany you on some portions of the tour which require long walking. The parts of the itinerary denoted by * will be un-guided, so after my introduction you will be able to explore the area on your own

We start with the stunning town of Cortona, enclosed by ancient stone walls dating back to Etruscan and Roman times, perched on a hill about 600 meters above sea level. It became internationally famous thanks to Frances Mayes’ book “Under the Tuscan Sun” (and the film with Diane Lane, shot here). You’ll have time to relax or explore at your own pace, and I will suggest the best things to do. We then continue to Montepulciano, with a relaxing 30-minute drive through rolling hills, vineyards, and breathtaking landscapes, offering many photo opportunities along the way. If you wish, I can recommend a great local restaurant for lunch based on your preferences. Enjoy this elegant medieval hill town, rich in Renaissance palaces, ancient churches, charming squares, and hidden corners. A walk through Montepulciano is the best way to admire its beauty and take in stunning views over the surrounding vineyard-covered countryside.
• Drive to Cortona in about 1 hour and 30 min from Florence. I suggest to stop here for about 2 hours. • Continue after to Montepulciano at only 30 min away. Possibility to add a stop at a local winery If you have any special interests or wishes, I will be happy to customize this tour for you!
