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

Come with me to explore this beautiful coastal landscape of Cinque Terre, definitely one of my favorite! Your tour will begin with a drive to Riomaggiore, the first of the five towns. I will walk with you to the center of the small village, have a coffe together and give you maps, information, etc. for spend a lovely day on your own. From here you will be ready to independently explore the other villages known for their charming streets, pastel houses and beautiful landscapes over the sea. You will have the option of walking to the next town via the famous "Way of Love" or you may choose to travel by train or by boat, the only options to travel between the Cinque Terre (cars are banned!). Once you arrive in Manarola, you may freely explore the town. Be sure to venture to the top of Mararola where you will see the church whose bell-tower once served as a lookout for potential pirates. Continue the visit of the remaining towns. Meet at the end of the day in the last village Monterosso at 4. 30pm.

What can I say, Massimo is the absolute best! We thoroughly enjoyed his company and knowledge of the area. We felt safe , comfortable and informed throughout the trip to / from Cinque Terre. Massimo gave us some great recommendations for our trip and arranged for a private boat tour of the 5 towns with a local by the name of Juliano who was amazing. Highly recommend using Massimo for all of your needs.

Our tour was delightful and Massimino worked with us to minimize the walking for a couple of the travelers in our group.
