We had a wonderful day with Rosella. Informative and fun to be with she also took great care to get us as near to things as possible without too much walking which is what we needed. Thank you for a perfect day.

Hello and welcome to Tuscany! My name is Rossella and I have been an Authorized/Licensed Tour Guide for more than 25 years, and 10 years ago I qualified and passed the exams to also become an Authorized Private Driver. I use a lovely brand new black Mercedes van to take visitors to the Tuscan Countryside, to wineries, to medieval hilltowns and visit this side of Italian gems such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano, Cortona, Montepulciano, Cinqueterre . . . and the list goes on and on. I can consider myself energetic, personable and kwnoledgeable. I have to be so. . . I am mother of five. I am a good cook too, I cook for clients and I offer Italian Cooking lessons as far away as Hawaii, where I spent nearly a month. I will be able to also share my knowledge and love of Italian cuisine with you! I look forward to seeing you in Tuscany! License as Italian Tour Guide, Issued by Region Tuscany Italy, in 1997. Authorized Driver for 9 seats van (8 passengers plus the driver) by the Motorizzazione Civile Livorno in 2014. Autorization N.C.C. (Hired Driver with a van).

Personally I love the charming Siena! Its churches, the Piazza del Campo where during the centuries the Palio horse race was held. . . the anecdotes I learned from the old local people still so attached to traditions and to their Contrada. I will be more than willing to share that with you! Enjoy the athmosfere and understand why millions of pilgrims walked the road to Rome passing through here. Then San Gimignano. The city of towers where you may visit the Cistern Square, the Collegiata Church and enjoy the world's best gelato or a wine tasting of the Red Colli Senesi Chianti and the Vernaccia, produced with the local white grapes.

We loved this tour with Rosella. The walk through Sienna was spectacular!! She is wonderful with the history and explanations, But also makes it fun and interesting as well. Rosella makes sure you have plenty of time to enjoy the beauty but also if you want to do some shopping or stop at a cafe, she makes sure you have time for that as well!! Book your tour with Rosella and you will not be disappointed!!!
For my 60th birthday, my dream trip was to go to Tuscany. I asked Rossella to make it special, and unforgettable. I must say she outdid herself. The attention to detail was heart warming. She took us to a vineyard for wine tasting and lunch, and to our surprise, she had a birthday present for me, it was very touching. We had an unforgettable day, way into the night. We felt like we were traveling with a friend . We are pleased to say that she is The Best Tour Guide In The World. Thank you Rossella.
My family and I spent 2 wonderful days with Rossella in Siena / San Gimignano and Florence. Rossella was patient and engaging with my 2 young children and tailored the tours to perfection. I would love to see more of Italy with Rossella in a future visit! Rossella - Thank you for taking care of us and sharing all your wonderful stories. Hope you had an amazing trip visiting your daughter in Sweden.
Rossella S. was a fabulous and very knowledgeable an tour guide for our day long visit to Siena! We were a group of 4 senior adults and asked many questions along the way which she answered completely - sometimes with humor! Her knowledge of the many works of art and the history of the area was amazing. In the large museums and palaces, she knew which works to emphasize as we did not have time to see it all. Rossella even knew where to buy the best gelato! Would highly recommend Ms. Scoara
5 stars! 5 stars! 5 stars! WE cannot say enough good things about Rossella & the tour. We (2 adults, 2 teens) traveled New Year's week. Prior to the trip, Rossella was terrific with communication via email & planning. She met us perfectly on time with a very nice, spacious Mercedes van. She talked about history, culture, geography and current events. We were truly impressed by her knowledge. The sites and stops were amazing. Enjoyed the wine and olive oil tasting as well. Thanks, Rossella!
9, 00 - Meet in Florence, then one hour drive to Siena. 10, 00 - Arrive in Siena. Here I will guide you through the streets and squares, including the Piazza del Campo and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. 12, 30 - Free time at your leisure for lunch or shopping. 13, 30 - Drive through the hilly countryside to San Gimignano (45 minutes away), where I will leave you for the visit of the village by yourself. Time for a stroll and gelato. If you wish, you may have a wine tasting with not less than 5 wines and tastes of extra virgin olive oil at a local organic winery. 16, 00 - At the end, it will take 1 hour to go back to Florence. We can start from this itinerary to taylor one that can suit better your wishes and needs: you want to stop to visit another tower city along the way rather than having a wine tasting or the gelato, let's do it.
