Ciao! My name is Giulia and I live in a small town close to the countryside between Florence and Pisa (Tuscany region)in the so called "leather industrial area". I was raised here and I' ve always been living here, even if I' ve had several experiences abroad, in particular in England. I travelled a lot when I was younger and I' ve always been fascinated by the tour guide as a profession. My greatest passion were foreign languages and for this reason I attended the University of Linguistic Mediation in Pisa where I better studied English and I started studying Spanish. During my University studies I took the "tourist branch" of it and I had the chance to study different aspects of the history and art of my region, Tuscany. I developed an incredible interest and passion for it and the real turning point was in 2011 when I had the opportunity to start working as a tour leader. At the beginning was not so easy but the more I was doing it, the more I was feeling that IT WAS MY WAY! For this reason I attended the course to become a licensed guide for Pisa in 2013 and then for Florence in 2019 and my dreams came true: sharing with people the amazing history, art and enogastronomic culture (the best part!) of my territory is absolutely priceless! If you decide to join me you won't see that Tuscany is just history and museums but TUSCANY IS ART at 360 degrees: from wine to truffle experiences, olive oil mills and cooking classes, strolls in the city and chilling out in the countryside, leather or ice-cream workshops and much much more!! Contact me and TOGETHER we can plan the most memorable and tailored tour that suits you in the best way. Remember that your tour won't be just A TOUR, but THE TOUR: a unique experience that you will carry in your heart forever! GRAZIE MILLE for giving me the opportunity to make it worth and unforgettable! - Licensed Guide for Pisa and its Province - Licensed Guide for Florence and its Province - Licensed Tour Leader - University degree in Linguistic Mediation equivalent to Interpreters and Translators - C1 Certificate in English Language according to the Common European Framework Reference for Languages I' m not a driver, but I can accompany you in a vehicle or I can arrange for separate car and driver.

Do you know what TRUFFLE is? Truffle is THE FOOD OF KINGS, a fungus that grows underground only in specific areas. The town of San Miniato is known as the "Town of Truffles", during this tour you will have the unique experience to flank an expert truffle-hunter hunting truffles with his dog during a nice walk in the woods surrounding San Miniato. THE HUNTER BELONGS TO ONE OF THE MOST HISTORIC TRUFFLE FAMILIES from the area! At the end we will bring the prey back to the restaurant where we'll get ready to have a wonderful lunch based on the truffles hunted! After lunch we will explore the heart of San Miniato, a medieval jewel in the Pisan hills along the river Arno, that for its strategic position became the Seat of Imperial Vicars in the Middle Ages. I will show you the main spots and will tell you how the town is connected to Pinocchio and Napoleon! Yes, you read well: such a small town with a lot of history, prestige and good food! What are you waiting for? Join me for this unique and succulent tour!
