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

Love this day tour!. We start going to Siena, the famous antagonist city of Florence during the twelfth century. Its soaring skyline is its pride, dominated by the Gothic cathedral (Duomo) and the taut needle of the Torre del Mangia and yet the shell shaped Piazza del Campo, probably captures the most attention and fame. It has been seen in films, photographs, and advertising campaigns. The bricks cover the sweetly sloping land underneath and are witness to many events in history, but the most intriguing is the "Palio" horse race, one of the most important things in the life of a Siena native. After my explanations enjoy your free time. Then to San Gimignano, the beautiful town located on the top of a hill and famous for its towers, also a Unesco World Heritage. Initially seat of a small Etruscan village during Hellenistic period. Last stop at the ancient Monteriggioni fortress for a gelato before the return to your hotel.
• Depart from Florence • Travel to Siena, Italy's loveliest medieval city, and a trip worth making even if you are in Tuscany for just a few days. Siena's heart is its central piazza known as Il Campo, known worldwide for the famous Palio run here, a horse race run around the piazza two times every summer. • Travel to San Gimignano, quite literally the embodiment of Tuscan hilltop towns, this is the one that simply must be on your Tuscany itinerary. Known as Italy's Medieval Manhattan with its skyline of fourteen stone medieval towers rising dramatically from the Tuscan countryside. • Travel to Monteriggioni, located on top of a hill, Monteriggioni is a uniquely walled medieval village that has managed to keep its ancient roots and old charm. • Return to Florence If you have any special interests or wishes, I will be happy to customize this tour for you!
