Hi! I am Roberto, born and raised in Siena, a city in the heart of the Tuscan region of Italy. I am a highly dedicated and professional driver. I am enthusiastic and curious, inspired by my work and delighted when discovering hidden corners and new realities with my clients. Human interaction and intuitive insight are the secret to doing this job well. I pride myself on being sensitive and available, listening carefully to travellers' needs and paying the added attention it takes to make a travel and dining experience outstanding. My personal interests have served as training for the work I take great pleasure in doing. I have travelled across four continents and thoroughly enjoy meeting people and exchanging ideas. I am an avid reader and live by my father's creed: "Read! Ignorance is your worst enemy. If you don't know history, you don't know who you are. If you don't know geography, you don't know where you are". Last, but not least is my passion for eating and drinking…and well! I am a "buon gustaio" (literally translated: "good taster") and have extensive experience thanks to my mother's cooking. Meals in my family were the "family briefing"; that moment when excellent food and better wine brought us together for a peaceful rundown of our day. As for the future, I am dedicated to deepening my knowledge and expertise, in particular in the areas of food and wine. I have learned countless things from my experience so far and am looking forward to unearthing new hidden treasures together on a day tour soon! Certified Driver with professional experience as a driver guide.

Overview of your Florence tour

Brimming with all things Etruscan, Volterra will captivate you with its doors, amphitheatre and ancient burial places. Discover alabaster, a warm and luminous stone that enchants and inspires the artisan genius that fills the streets of this charming Tuscan jewel. Make a pilgrimage to postcard perfect San Gimignano, where 13 of its original 72 towers will envelope you. Originally built to boast power and wealth, today these towers provide one of the most striking and enchanting backdrops for any traveller's itinerary. In my opinion no visit to San Gimignano and Tuscany is complete without trying some of our fabulous products, and for this reason I will take you to taste some of the best 'gelato' in Tuscany. Contact me to plan your private, customized culinary-sightseeing tour in Tuscany together!

This tour went off without a hitch. Roberto arrived right on time, coordinated our whole day, accommodated our requests, and got us to our destination on time, even giving us history and interesting info all along the way. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Great day through Tuscany! Roberto was very prompt in his communication and he was early to the hotel to pick us up. Our first stop was San Gimignano and along the way he provided us with a lot of background on the region and other factoids. After San Gimignano, Roberto took us to a small winery for tasting and lunch and it was excellent - the wine, the food, the scenery, the staff, the owner! Then we stopped in Siena, where I wish we had more time, but then we had to get back to Florence. Would recommend using Roberto!

It was a great trip with Roberto to Pisa and surrounding highlights on our trip to explore the Tuscany countryside. Roberto is a fine gentleman, soft spoken, good English language, comfortable driving and makes sure he gives us enough time to explore at our stops. He knows some of the best Vegan restaurants and gelatos at our stops. Overall very happy that i chose Roberto for this trip and will not have any hesitation in recommending him to explore the great Tuscany. Thank you Roberto.CHAO

Amazing day spent learning a lot of the history and enjoying the company of Roberto. He was super knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make sure our experience of the walled cities were amazing!
