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

Overview of your Florence tour

I love this area so I'm the right person for take you there! Leave in the morning and after about 1 hour transfer we reach the characteristic town of Montepulciano. Built in 1500 along a narrow ridge of limestone, well known all over the world for its imposing Renaissance palaces and mostly for the Vino Nobile, one of the most appreciated Tuscan wines all over the world. After my main explanations enjoy some free time on your own. Next stop: Pienza. This is one of the most beautiful Tuscan towns, rare example of Renaissance architecture brought to completion. Enjoy my explanations and after have some free time for lunch and relax. In early afternoon we'll continue through enchanting landscapes to reach Montalcino, famous throughout the world especially for the origin of one of the finest wines in the world: Brunello di Montalcino. Perched on a hill on which the mighty fourteenth century fortress rises still today. Free time for visits, after we'll go to a top winery to taste the famous Brunello wine.

Your Florence tour itinerary

• Val D' Orcia area (declared Unesco World Heritage Site). • Montepulciano, beautiful Renaissance hilltown, which still adheres to its medieval plan, is embedded in a picture-postcard landscape. • Pienza, a fifteenth-century town built around 1459, surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills. Called the 'ideal city' because shaped by an ambitious man: Pope Pius II whose aim was to transform his birthplace into the ideal Renaissance town. • Montalcino, a medieval small town completely encircled by fortified walls. Renowned for its world-famous wine Brunello di Montalcino, is really a must when in Val D'Orcia. If you have any special interests or wishes, I will be happy to customize this tour for you!
