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 Lucca tour

Today we will spend a full day in the Cinque Terre. We will reach the city of La Spezia, the largest city before entering the Cinque Terre National Park. It is an amazing drive where different landscapes will capture your sight. I will stop along the way for photos of the bay of La Spezia and near Riomaggiore for an amazing view of the Cinque Terre coastline. Our first stop will be Manarola where I will help you to catch the ferry to Vernazza. Free time both in Manarola and Vernazza for pictures and shopping! (In case of rough sea you might opt to take the local train). After exploring Vernazza we will head to Corniglia, my favorite town where we will stop for lunch. I will reserve a table in a local restaurant for you! After lunch we will explore Corniglia and a gelato at "Alberto's" is mandatory!! On the way back I will show you other interesting sights. A day away from the traffic in one of the most charming parts of Italy.

Gianmaria truly went above and beyond anything we could have expected for our Cinque Terre trip. He was punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, and consistently kind and gracious throughout the day. Traveling as a group of eight friends can be challenging, but he handled everything effortlessly and accommodated all of our extra requests with patience and professionalism. His attention to detail and warm approach made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the area.

Gianmaria Mariti was a most wonderful tour guide. Hospitable, knowledgeable and warm, he was the perfect guide for our trip to Cinque Terre and Pisa. First of all, our family of 4 rode around in class in a M-B van. The 2 hour trip from Florence flew by and before you knew it we were navigating the twisty, tiny, winding roads in Cinque Terre. Gian was an excellent driver as well and we even adjusted our plans on the fly as we discovered that the ferry was running. A great experience I highly recommend

Gianma was a great host and guide. His vehicle is perfect for large groups. He was always on time, even early. He picked us up at our Airbnb in Florence, a long drive for him, and took us to Cinque Terre and gave us the grand tour. He took us to a very nice restaurant for lunch that was opened just for our group with a great view of the coast. The experience could not have been any better.

Gianmaria was an outstanding guide. He was our guide in 2014 and also in May 2022. In May 2022, he made sure we visited the Cinque Terre, and also visited a place near Florence that had the BEST Olive Oil and wine we had ever experienced. He showed us things and places, that most people on BIG tours never get to see!!! Thank you Gianmaria!!!!
