Ciao! I'm Walter, a passionate and energetic tour guide with nearly ten years of experience sharing the wonders of Italy with travelers from all over the world. Originally from a charming town near Milan, I’ve spent much of my life traveling and working in many countries around the world . After years of exploring, I found my true calling in tourism and decided to settle down and turn my love for travel into a career. Now, as a licensed tour leader, I work with a few tour companies, guiding travelers mainly through Italy’s most beautiful regions. While I love discovering all of Italy, my heart is especially tied to the area where I grew up — the one I know and love best. I’m a firm believer in sustainable, responsible travel, so I always aim to take my groups off the beaten path to experience the authentic Italian lifestyle — complete with delicious food, fine wine, a slower pace, and plenty of laughter. When I’m not leading tours or enjoying time with my niece, you’ll probably find me on a long cycling adventure, as I’ve been an avid cyclist for years, traveling the world on two wheels. National Tour Leader licence n. 102 issued by Piedmont Region; ETOA Tour Guide ID TG190065; Cycling tour guide certification issued by "Cycling UK".

Enjoy a day exploring the wonders of Florence, renowned worldwide as one of the most magnificent cities in the world, and the birthplace of the Renaissance. Florence is much closer to Milan than you might think: trains only take less than 2 hours to connect the two cities - way faster than on a car or a bus! I will personally organize everything, from purchasing the high-speed train tickets to showing you the city, on a walking tour that will touch all the most famous sites - and some more! I will accompany you throughout the entire day, so you will not have to worry about anything. Everything will be planned ahead, every detail will be taken care of. Florence is a second home for me, that's where I worked for years - and still do - leading walking and cycling tours. *** For trips between May 1st and September 15th, with the exception of August, please reach out to me before booking the trip, as train tickets availability needs to be checked ***

This was my second time using Walter as my driver. He is genuine and capable and very helpful. He goes out of his way to accommodate you. both times I used him for a long drives – – over four hours he knows a lot about Italy and is willing to share it with you.
Walter is one very special tour guide! His communication skills exceeded expectations. He maintains a strong knowledge base of the history as well as of the area. Walter is charismatic and efficient and was able to reduce our stress level so we could enjoy and learn. It was truly a pleasure to have a guide who intrinsically enjoys his position, smiling throughout our tour, answering all our questions. Walter was a delight. I highly recommend you reach out to Walter if you are seeking a tour.
We met Walter at the train station to depart for Florence. Walter arrived at the meeting point much earlier. Great impression to begin the trip. During the trip, Walter gave us detailed information of all the wonderful stops. And recommended a very local place for lunch, Much appreciated. At the end of the trip, upon arriving Milan, he took extra care to help us to get home. He made our Florence visit very special. There is no better guide we experienced than Walter, in all of our travels worldwide.
We had a wonderful day trip to Florence! Walter is professional, punctual, highly knowledgeable about Florence, and great company. He made sure to take us to our requested locations and helped me find a specialty item I was looking for. My husband and I will book another tour with him next time we're in town. All the stars for Walter.
