I am an Expat from the United States, I have been blessed to live and guide through this beautiful country called Italy for the past 22 years. My first love and city mastered was the Eternal City of Rome, where I have lived and taught an English Master's program at UET. The University of European Tourism is located outside the Papal walls of Vatican City. I enjoyed teaching and being around the students very much, their youth is contagious. As I've traveled around the entire country, I've discovered the beauty in each region, as well as the wine and culinary wonders. My guiding experience is throughout Italy's Regions, as a National Driver Guide. My areas of expertise include the hillside medieval towns that are nestled in-between the Apennine Mountains. During my tours, I explain the history of Italy and make certain that you have the opportunity to experience all of the local monuments, as well as the iconic art and historical culture. My guiding is based on the TRUE ITALIAN EXPERIENCE. The Slow Food Movement, which they call the zero kilometer touring started in Italy because of how the food is prepared and my tours will take you to taste it all, fresh cheese, the award winning wines and truffle pasta. . . not to mention the limoncello in Sorrento after a day in Pompei. I have been blessed with a gift when it comes to guiding children and the disabled throughout this country. Nothing is a challenge for me and I enjoy seeing each of these places with people who thought they would never get there, life is meant to be lived! I look forward to hearing from you and booking our special excursions together.

This morning you will depart for Chianti, to visit The Castello di Brolio (Brolio Castle) where you will visit the garden and the small museum as the rest of the castle is unavailable as it's still home to the current Ricasoli baron and his family. Bettino Ricasoli, was one of the most important politicians in the 19th century and he was the first to create the recipe for what became the wine for the region, the great red Chianti Classico wine. You will enjoy a wine tasting of Ricasoli's many wines at the wine shop. Later we will drive to San Gimignano where you will have a relaxing stroll through the beautiful Tuscan hillside to the towering town of San Gimignano, the New York Skyline of Tuscany! It's here that you will have a relaxing and beautiful private 12 wine tasting at Tenuta Torciano in a little town named Poggibonsi and a full tuscan lunch.
What a great day in Tuscany! I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the Italian countryside and visit first class wineries. Caron was an amazing tour guide and made it a very memorable day!!
We saw the sunrise from the highway headed to Tuscany from Rome with Caron and the sunset from the highway on the return trip to Rome. It was a full day and an iconic trip. Every beautiful photo you have seen of Tuscany are real and Caron knows great places to take a lot of beautiful pictures! She was so patient with my husband wanting to take lots of pictures. We went to 2 wineries, and several picturesque towns between. We strolled the shops, ate, had wine tastings. Best day!! Highly recommend!
Best touring experience ever, hands down. We had group of 8 and planned the Tuscany wine tour. We overdid it the day before and the group wanted something shorter. Scrapped original plan. Caron had about 6 hours notice. She pulled together an amazing winery visit and tour of Frascati. Relationships are the KEY and Caron has them. Had the most amazing wine tasting and gourmet lunch personally presented by the winery GM. On Frascati tour we were the only tourists. So immersive. Caron is AMAZING!!!
Boy does Caron know the right people to get in touch with!! She was amazing! Everything we asked she delivered and more! Will definitely recommend booking with Caron again in the future!!!
