Text/Tour copyrighted 2017: BEWARE OF PLAGIARISM ;) I advise to DO THIS TOUR as soon as you reach Florence/ON YOUR FIRST DAY: it’ll be the perfect “welcome to Florence” kind of tour! Ever thought of an immersive and unusual way to discover a city? Thanks to this guided walk you'll trace the highlights as well as the secret, quirky and dark side of Florence. It's no “haunted” nor mere “see-hidden-places” kind of tour. You will certainly cover some lesser-known places, other that the must-sees. But what makes this tour uncommon is that it puts a new slant on the walking tour concept. You will walk, no doubt. But you'll discover Florence in a different way. You will find out about local customs, legends, crimes, sex scandals and secrets without missing the major artistic facts that made Florence the cradle of the Renaissance. Do you want to know about the art crazy Medici Family or the main historical, cultural and artistic anecdotes behind the "myth" of Florence? Or why was nudity so common in Ancient and Renaissance art? Do you want to see what once was the “Red Light District” or know about the local culinary art and its (sometimes revolting) specialties? Yes, this tour is "history, art, local life & culture" in an engaging and fun way! PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU DO NOT SEE ANY AVAILABLE DATES, SINCE I MAY ARRANGE EXTRA SPOTS AND/OR HAVE EXTRA OPENINGS.

Jump on e-bikes to the Florentine hills

First, we'll take some minutes to take confidence with the engine of the e-bikes; you don't need to be particularly fit even if we'll cover hilly roads; the engine makes the effort for you. In a couple of minutes, we'll leave the city center to reach the countryside towards the south area of Florence. Through a nice bike path, we'll get to the most popular panoramic view over the city of Florence: Piazzale Michelangelo. From there, we can admire from the distance all the architectures of the city. With the use of the electric engine, in no time we'll be in the area of Arcetri, where the scenary is totally different: no tourists,olives groves, small vineyards, typical Tuscan countryside. I'll tell you something about our local products such as the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the wine. Electric bikes, nature, green colors, red poppies and birds cheeping are the context of this ride. After the ride, we'll get back to the city center to taste a wonderful gelato in one of the best spots in town! If you have kids, please contact me!

Half-day e-bike ride through the Tuscan countryside

By e-bike I'll show you the places I love, where I've spent my whole life. In SMALL GROUP MAX ONLY 4 PEOPLE (upon request private tours with more than four participants), you'll discover the Tuscan countryside and Fiesole, the sky above Florence, the nature so close and yet so far from the city, local life away from crowded places. In the morning, in the afternoon, at sunrise or sunset, sometimes at night, we will ride at least 30km (19mi). You will see where Leonardo da Vinci lived and dreamed about human flight, where Dante fell in love with Beatrice. Breathtaking panoramic views of Florence, the hills and countryside surrounded by fields of olive trees. Depending on the season, we will reach a monastery still inhabited by monks at an altitude of over 800m (2600ft), or Michelangelo's childhood home. We will cross the path of the Via degli dei, the ancient Via Flaminia Minor, the Etruscan road that crossed the Apennines mountains at least 200 years BC. During the trip, we'll get some fragrant bread and fresh seasonal vegetables from local farmers, like I usually do with my family. Then we will have a little food break at Giorgio's farm, where we will eat outdoors on the farmyard, tasting his extra virgin olive oil and his good wine: these are always on my kitchen table at home. It won't be a tourist experience, but a little adventure.

Cinque Terre Sunset Cruise & Swim

We highly suggest you join our group sunset tour. We will meet you at the harbor in Riomaggiore and then embark on our magical sunset tour. During the tour, we will slowly cruise up the Cinque Terre coast, stopping in front of each village to allow you to take photos of the towns from the sea, which is hands-down the best way to capture each village's beauty. Once we reach Monterosso, we will turn around and slowly head back to Riomaggiore. With the sun setting behind us, you will have the perfect view to capture magnificent photos. During the tour, you can sip on bubbles and enjoy homemade focaccia from the local baker, which is made fresh daily and is a must-try food while in the Cinque Terre. During the tour, you can also jump into the sea for a sunset dip. Take a deep breath and enjoy the paradise that surrounds you. We aim to make your night, and maybe even your holiday in the Cinque Terre, a lifelong memory, and show you 'La dolce vita.' The tour lasts for around 2.5 hours.

Sunset tour, Cinqueterre, drinks, swim, music, happy people

The tour start from the little dock of Manarola, at the same dock from where the ferries to Cinque Terre depart aboard an 8-meter open boat. It runs along the 5 villages from Manarola towards Monterosso. Arriving at Guvano beach, behind Corniglia, we stop for the first swim break; with snorkeling equipment you can admire the clear waters and the local fish. It starts again with a panoramic view of the coast and all the various types of sedimentary rocks, explanations on the paths and the type of wine produced, another swim stop after the view of the seaside village of Vernazza to then reach the last of the 5 lands, Monterosso. After the view of the village and the beaches, the route is reversed to return to Riomaggiore, another swim stop one mile from the coast, drinking good prosecco, waiting for the sunset to then return to Manarola

Tuscany & Florence countryside biking and tasting at Villa

Want to take a break from the crazy crowds of the city? Join me on this panoramic half-day ride! Starting from the quiet "Oltrarno" area of Florence, we will immerse in the Tuscan countryside with its vineyards, olive groves, and lovely rural roads. I will provide you with 24-speed touring bikes. E-bikes might be available if you ask in advance (limited number!) - please ask for them asap! We will cycle along ancient roads to reach a countryside venue that produces extra virgin olive oil, surrounded by pristine nature. Here we will learn how extra virgin olive oil is produced in Tuscany. Then, we will relax in the gardens to taste local wine and handmade olive oil, paired with a Tuscan appetizer of local products. After the break, we get some more biking and we will stop at San Miniato al Monte Church for the best view of the city. In just half a day, this route is a perfect combination of cycling through Tuscany, seeing Florence from the hilltops, and tasting local produce while experiencing the beauty of the Tuscan countryside. There are some hills to climb (4) on tour (11km/8 miles distance and 140m elevation gain), so get ready for a little workout! (I call it a moderate level, easy if you are used to biking). As an option and on request, we can extend the tour to 7 hours, including lunch at a Chianti farm with wine and olive oil tasting and a visit to the property.

Chianti Vespa tour from San Gimignano

I will meet you at the office located in the heart of the Chianti region just 10mins away from San Gimignano. Experience for this tour is required and after a quick test drive to ensure that you are confident and safe on the vehicle, we head out to the countryside for an enjoyable 2h ride in the afternoon when it's cooler. Start the Vespa ride on quiet and scenic roads through the rolling hills of the Chianti region where some of the most famous Tuscan wines are produced and fall in love with the fields of vines, cypresses and Tuscan rural houses when the sun goes down. Don't worry, we will stop many times for pictures along the way and for interesting stories about the area before we return back to our starting point to leave the Vespas and say goodbye to your new friends.
