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!

Thankyou Gianmaria for a really fun shore excursion! Our group greatly enjoyed Pisa and the charming Lucca with the benefit of your local knowledge, and cannot recommend the lunch stop in Tuscany highly enough. You made our stop thoroughly memorable, really appreciate it :)

Gianmaria is a wonder guide and person. He makes you feel welcome from the moment you meet him. Great tour and comfortable van. Finished the day with wonderful gelato
Gretchen C.United States
Our experience with Gianmaria was exceptional from start to finish! He expertly crafted a personalized itinerary that balanced iconic sights with local charm, ensuring every member of our family—ages 26 to 55—had an unforgettable day. Gianmaria’s deep knowledge of the region, warm personality, and thoughtful recommendations made the tour both informative and fun. He was punctual, courteous, and attentive to every detail—even providing umbrellas when it started to rain. His vehicle was spotless and comfortable, adding an extra layer of ease to the journey. We cannot recommend Gianmaria highly enough—his guided tour was a true highlight of our time in Tuscany.
Heather K.United States
We had an amazing day with Gianmaria! We were a group of six with two children (ages 10 and 13). Gianmaria was incredible. He reads the group and the needs and style of the individual travelers so well and caters to everyone. My kids loved him and the grown ups appreciated his warmth and easy style. He provides the perfect mix of personal attention with allowing you to also experience the sites and places on your own. I cannot recommend him highly enough. 10 stars if I could!
