Buongiorno from Italy! My name is Gianmaria and I am a professional driver-guide since 2006. I was born, raised and I still live in a small town called Cecina, 30 minutes south of Pisa and the port of Livorno and about an hour from Florence. I have been working with passion every single day and met wonderful people from all over the World making myself love more and more my job and the beauties of my country. Having the opportunity to show you where I live, talking about our traditions and be lucky to be your guide for one day, is undoubtedly an honour for me, and I will do all my best to make your day in Italy memorable and unforgettable! As a Driving-Guide, I can provide tours with comfortable 8 seater air conditioning vehicles (Mercedes or similar), with water and wi-fi on board so that you can share the moments of your tour with family and friends. From Florence to Pisa, from Siena to Tuscany and the Medieval villages of San Gimignano and Volterra, then to Lucca, Bolgheri, the Etruscan Coast, the Chianti Wine Region and Cinque Terre, popular destinations or unknown ones. . . together we can plan and customise the tour according to your wishes. No matter where you are staying, in a Hotel, on a Cruise, in the city or countryside, I can pick you up anywhere you wish to start a great day together! ( If you are traveling on a cruise ship, I have all the permits to pick you up directly at the port by the ship i. e. Port of Livorno, Port of La Spezia, Portofino, Portovenere, Port of Piombino). ( If you are staying in a Hotel, I can pick you up directly by the concierge of your accommodation in Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca or anywhere else! ) My tours are for everyone and I can customize it according to your requests! So, small groups, more attention, more fun! I will give you lots of information during the tour and you can ask questions anytime! I promise you a great day out, because I want you to remember Gianmaria not only as a guide but also as your new friend in Italy! I look forward to meeting you! Grazie e Arrivederci!

Overview of your La Spezia tour

This is a great options for all travellers wishing to spend a day on the coast of Liguria, the region hosting the famous Cinque Terre National Park. Today I will drive you all around this enchanting area. We will start the tour with the first stop to Portovenere, known as the gateway of the Cinque Terre. Here you will have about an hour to explore the village on your own. You can walk to the Church of San Pietro and on top of the hill to the Doria Castle where stunning views will take your breath away! Afterward we will head to the Cinque Terre where you will visit 2 villages: Vernazza and Corniglia. I will drive you all around the coastal area but you will have to explore Vernazza on your own, I will give you useful information while driving on what to see. Later on we will visit Corniglia where I will lead you in the town center. Here we will stop for lunch! On the way back stop in San Bernardino to enjoy unique views of the coastline.

We had the absolute best day with Gianmaria!! From start to finish and everything in between, it was the perfect day. It was the exact thing we were looking for. A relaxing day wandering through the villages, shopping, trying local food and just relaxing. I'm a travel agent and 100% will recommend Gianmaria to my clients.

One of our best tours ever! Gianmaria is a fantastic guide. Took us to the best places in the Cinque Terre in a car ,so much more relaxed than using public transport and going up and down steps. He took us to a fantastic place for lunch. He was a great driver, had a great personality and we saw beautiful viewpoints.Would give it 10 stars. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic day! Each town and each view was more enchanting than the one before. You see so much but don't feel rushed. Gianmaria is knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver and guide. We loved our day with him and felt comfortable from the start. I definitely recommend this tour of the Cinque Terre!

What an amazing tour of Cinque Terre National Park. We highly recommend Gianmaria and would love to do another tour with him if we are in the area. He picked 4 of us at the port of La Spezia. The drive was spectacular. He planned out a great itinerary considering a couple of spots we had seen and also some mobility issues. We stopped in Porto Venere , Vernazza, Corniglia and Monterosso. He made a reservation for us at a wonderful restaurant in Corniglia with amazing food and a great view. We also stopped at some wonderful scenic views and a great shop along the way to buy some local wine, olive oil, etc. The tour was one of the best ever! Thank you Gianmaria!
