My daughter and I had a magical day in Tuscany with our local guide Michele. He did a wonderful job of balancing the art, history and culture throughout the day with some personal things we wanted to experience. The day did not disappoint with Michele! We started our morning off at Piazzale Michaelangelo taking in the beautiful skyline of Florence. Other stops during the day included the Florence American Cemetery; coffee and strolling the wonderful artisan shops of the medieval walled town of Monteriggioni; lunch, wine tasting and tour in the hills outside of San Gimignano at the beautiful Fontaleoni winery; and we ended our magical day walking through San Gimignano, soaking up the views, and eating some amazing gelato. We highly recommend Michele for your tour!

Fabio was easy to communicate with ahead of tour and customized for our needs. Knowledgeable, flexible with changes and made a special day for us in Tuscany including a stop at winery for tasting and lunch. Taught us all about wine region and provided much historical reference. Would book with him in our future Italian adventures and recommend to friends who visit Tuscany region.

We had booked the City Escape with Michele. Due to some changes in our itinerary we asked to change to a walking tour of Florence, with some focus on food and interesting stories. Michele was very accommodating and altered the tour for us. We learned about the amazing history of Florence in an interesting and entertaining way. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and was able to hold our attention the whole way. He gave us some great recommendations of other things to do while in Florence. We had one of the best sandwiches of my life at a little place called Budellino. I would one hundred percent recommend a tour with Michele!

We had a fantastic day with Michele. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip. We visited Piazzale Michaelangelo and the church above it (Chiesa di San Salvatore) for fantastic views of the city. Then we drove out to a family winery in Tuscany in Michele’s red minicooper for a fantastic lunch, wine tasting and amazing views of the Tuscany landscape. Then we visited San Gimignano, a medieval city where Michele previously lived, and Michele introduced us to many aspects of the medieval town which only a former local would know. The entire trip was like a drive in the countryside with a close friend. Michele also told us about Napolitan culture and language (since he’s originally from Napoli) and introduced us to contemporary Napolitan music artists. If you are interested in getting away from the tourist crowds in Florence for a day and want to breath in a bit of the Tuscany countryside, we highly recommend you book a day with Michele.

Michele was amazing. His knowledge and insights into the local area and history were incredibly informative and entertaining. He made the tour personal by sharing both the facts and his personal experiences. \n\nI completely recommend Michele.

Firstly I would like to highly recommend you choose Michele as your guide. Highly engaging, an immense wealth of knowledge and a passion for art history. He has turned the tour guide experience into an art form itself. A genuine mesmerising day I will never forget. Thank you for showing us Siena and Tuscany. A region of beauty only enhanced by Michele. With gratitude from the Aussie trio

Fabio is fabulous. His knowledge of all things Florentine and Tuscan is surpassed only by his enthusiasm for his home region. His excellent English skills were developed by living and traveling abroad, giving him a perspective that many other guides lack. He can converse on a very high level about virtually anything. His advanced education and intellect meld this background together to tailor a super personalized experience for his guests. It is evident that Fabio truly cares about his clients having a good experience. My wife, 3 adult children and I all had an amazing experience visiting San Gimignano and a small organic winery. Diana and her small staff provided a tour of their operations and vineyard and prepared a delicious Tuscan lunch paired with a wine tasting of their small production wines. The genuine warmth and hospitality shown to us was embracing - we didn't want to leave. We've seen a lot of great historical and renowned sites on this Italian vacation, but this day will forever be remembered by each of us as the very best day. Grazie, Fabio!

Our day consisted of a visit to Montereggioni and San Gimignano. Michele\u2019s knowledge of these towns and history was good as he had lived and worked in this area previously. He was easy going, polite, personable and flexible to our needs as were 8 weeks into our Europe holiday we were a little overdosed on cathedrals and religious paintings. Wondering these medieval Towns was a great way to spend the day and Michele had booked us into an amazing little restaurant in San Gimignano called \u201CPeruca\u201D, this was by far the best Italian food and service we had for our time in Italy. I would recommend Michele as a guide in the Tuscany region.

Giacomo is a five star guide! We had an absolutely lovely day stopping in small villages which Giacomo was intimately familiar with as he grew up in these beautiful hills. We had an unforgettable lunch at a small family run winery overlooking the vineyard…scenic and delicious. Giacomo’s English is perfect and we so very much enjoyed his easy and polite manner. Couldn’t ask for more!
