Ciao & Welcome to Italy Tours with Mauro! I have been involved in the Tour Industry for over 13 years now and look forward to sharing my Beautiful country, it's food, it's traditions and of course it's values on life with all of you. Before entering into the Tour Industry I had spent 15 years in the area of Italian culinary adventures. I have first hand knowledge to share with each of you regarding the different regions, their food, wines, cheeses and tasty treats on the side like olive oil, balsamic and the art of truffles! Not to mention the best Gelato in each hilltop town inside and out of Rome. I'm originally from the Eastern side of Italy on the Adriatic Sea, a region called Puglia. So I am no stranger to the best beaches, sea food and nature that Italy has to offer as well. I am young, energetic, fun spirited, honest and most of all always on time. I look forward to having an adventure with you and yours soon! 5 years as a Tour Director of Italian Tours for an American Tour Company based in Rome. 15 years in the Italian Food and Wine industry. I am not a certified Vatican Museum or Colosseum Guide.

Our day trip to Florence with Mauro was amazing! He accomplished everything on our wish list and more. We saw all of Florence from a beautiful vista, toured Santa Croce, and took in David. Mauro took us shopping for leather and gold jewelry and a delicious Tuscan lunch. It was a wonderful leisurely tour our whole family enjoyed. We all learned so much about Florence's history. Mauro is so warm and personable. We look forward to visiting with him again when we return to glorious Italy!

Was very flexible with our requests. We took a train from Rome and met Mauro. He was extremely helpful. Great day trip exploring Florence. Highly recommend.

Mauro was fantastic!! From the outset he communicated to ask what we wanted. He even adjusted our start time because we needed to get back earlier. To extend our time even longer he suggested we take the fast train, offering to drive back the 3 1/2 hrs alone. Mauro was engaging and funny and knowledgeable. My friend was not feeling well but didn't want to miss our trip. Mauro "on the fly" made adjustments that kept me entertained and my friends needs in mind. Mauro is the best!!

On October 26, 2017 we visit Livorno and Mauro was our Tour Guide. We were three couples. We arrived in the NCL - Epic ship and when we disembarked, he was already at the port waiting for us. WITHOUT A DOUBT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mauro to be your tour guide. He is very knowledgeable of Florence and the entire area outside of Florence. He prepared a customized tour for us based on our requests and it superseded our expectations. He is very pleasant, flexible and always made sure that we were enjoying our tour

Loved exploring Monti, Rome, Firenza, Portofino & SHOPPING with Mauro! He has a zest for life, endless patience, accommodates personal interests incl. our 17yr old son whilst sharing his beautiful Italy. Awesome Tuscan wine tasting @ San Gimignano, & a sophisticated dinner in Rome with his knowledgeable wife Caron who has a great sense of humour! Both are extremely attentive, warm, fun, friendly, informative personalities & REALLY go the extra mile to ensure you build special memories. Highly recommended!

Mauro was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and a wonderful guide. He was prompt and took us at the pace we wanted to tour. I wish we had him for more tours. He was really a ten star.
