I would like to present myself as an expert of Itineraries in Florence and Tuscany. Florence is my base town, but I have lived for a long time in Siena Province, Chianti and San Gimignano. Certainly I have expertise in every corner of Tuscany. I offer and enjoy also giving tours in other destinations in Central Italy Liguria, Emilia, Umbria and Rome. My university formation is in the Fine arts and history. I am a licensed tour guide, tour manager and tour agent. I have followed several other courses in languages, wine production and Italian food. My professional experiences were for long time in art galleries. As a child, I traveled a lot with my family, as student I liked the idea of being an expert and knowledgeable tour guide. My passion for art, history, outdoor living, landscapes, cuisine made this possible in my mature age. That is how I started in 2009 my experience as a tour guide. I worked as free lance for several local companies based in Florence. Since 2016 I am promoting my services on this Platform ToursByLocals. I have no words to explain how great experience it has been since than. As of today, I prefer giving guided tours in the museums of Florence. But, I am passionate of exploring surroundings, towns, villages or trails off the beaten paths. My regular tours are result of experience . They are well balanced in order to provide to you the most relevant information and awake positive impressions and sensations. I am ready to listen and to shape the choice of the schedules, itineraries, the pace or the stops in a common agreement, when reasonably convenient and possible. If you want, for any reasons, to personalize itinerary please feel free to inquire. We will exchange our opinions in order to value feasibility and look for the best results. Each of the tours I propose have something personal and unique. I value and respect your choice to come to Italy, therefore I will do my best to be a qualified part of your memorable experience. The journey, the places, the sensations that you will keep the memory, the unique experiences are my goal I am an open-minded, energetic, professional, and smiling person and ready to advise, for your personal benefit and advantage.

Overview of your Florence tour

This tour is proposing a scenic drive through the Chianti hills to Siena. We'll take a good look at this wonderful town with cobbled streets and fairy buildings, and with a proud and glorious history that will amaze you. But that's not all: on the way back to Florence we can either stop for a wine tasting at a cellar or stop for a traditional lunch in a Monteriggioni restaurant. We can also spend some time driving in the hills taking the most amazing photos. Since I've lived for a long time in the county of Siena, I have explored all of the country roads, either by motorbike and by mountain bike (of course, when younger!). Now, with you, I will quietly drive and show you the best parts of the Chianti only I can show you.

Sinisa was an excellent tour guide. He as lived in the Tuscany area for many years and knows the cities, history, and people. Also with his background in art he was an excellent resource for discussions on the Renaissance. As the day progressed, he was happy to make real-time adjustments to ensure we had a wonderful experience.

My wife and I spent a wonderful day with Sinisa, touring Siena, and then into the hills of the Chianti wine regions for an excellent lunch and wine tastings. Sinisa was knowledgeable, informative, and delightful. We'll definitely contact him again when we return to Florence for future adventures in Tuscany.

If you really want to experience the heart & soul Tuscany--Sinisa is the guide for you! Our excursion to Sienna and Rapolano Terme was gorgeous, filled with Sinisa's understanding of history and architecture and good food and Chianti, Chianti, Chianti!!

We had an amazing tour with Sinisa..He was on time, took plenty of time for us on our way to Siena to take photos at some amazing places and views..His vehicle was very clean as we were in and out alot!. He was passionate about his country and gave us so much information that made us appreciate every site we saw. We had a lunch an unforgettable private vineyard -we were off season-- and the views of the countryside were something we will never forget. In Siena we visited a family owned coffee shop.
