Ciao! I’m Claudia, born and raised in the heart of Tuscany. My roots run deep in this beautiful region, and my passion is sharing its true essence with travelers like you. I studied Modern Languages at the University of Pisa, and during those years, I began working in tourism as a tour leader. After completing my studies, I spent time abroad, discovering new cultures and lifestyles, which enriched my perspective and strengthened my love for authentic experiences. Eventually, I realized that my true calling was right here at home—showing people the real Tuscany. This land is extraordinary: full of hidden villages, breathtaking landscapes, and flavors that tell centuries-old stories. So, I started my own business to help visitors discover the genuine soul of my region. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in foodie tours, cooking classes, and immersive tastings of Tuscany’s finest treasures—extra virgin olive oil, artisanal cheeses, and world-class wines. My tours are customized and take you off the beaten path, to places most travelers never find, where you’ll meet local producers and learn the secrets behind their craft. Together, we’ll explore authentic flavors, from handmade pasta to robust wines, and savor every bite of Tuscany’s culinary heritage. More than a tour, it’s a journey into the heart of Tuscan life. If you want to taste the real Tuscany—not just see it—let’s meet and make it unforgettable!

Overview of your Pisa tour
Perched majestically atop a hill with a breathtaking 360-degree view of the surrounding valley, this tour invites you to step back in time. We explore a spectacular medieval castle, a stone sentinel that has witnessed centuries of history from the Middle Ages. But the journey doesn't stop here. This experience is a deep dive into the gastronomic heart of Tuscany. You will go behind the scenes of world-renowned artisanal productions, from the secrets of traditional pasta-making to the ancient art of curing meats and aging cheeses in natural caves. It is a perfect blend of military architecture and authentic local flavors.
