Marco is a modern Italian treasure. Our 5 days with him in Chianti and Tuscany were beautiful and so informative. His background in Art History sets him up as a wonderful tutor delving deeper into Italian culture. His command of the English language was very helpful. Not only a great guide, he is personable and entertains with many antidotes added to the commentary. Always chose Marco !

Marco is one of the most knowledgeable Art History guides in Florence and touring the Uffizi, Bargello Museum and Pitti Palace with his guidance was brilliant . He is enthusiastic , and patient and I would recommend Marco for a private tour to anyone wanting to learn more about Art and see Florence with someone who brings Art to life!
