Our Tours
Our Tours
From our experience we learnt how different people are from each other; You can be interested in wine tasting more than in Etruscan Tombs, or in Castles more than local markets; for this reason, when we'll meet each other in the morning, we'll shape together the itinerary which best fits your interests.
If You don't have a precise idea about what you want to visit, but you'd like to have a general taste of Tuscany, we built for you three different base itineraries. In one day It's almost impossible to touch all the destinations written in each prospect, specially if you want to take it easy and stop to have lunch or shopping or simpley lay in the grass (you're in vacation don't forget it..); during the day we'll decide if, and what destination you want to skip.
The Red Itinerary
This tour touches the Southern Tuscany. We will start around 9 a.m. (or later or earlier if you would like to, don't forget that you choose!). In the morning we will drive through the Crete Senesi area, one of the most famous incredible and particular landscapes of Tuscany, were many famous movies are made. There, we will see the typical Tuscan farms with the cypress roads and wheat fields all over. We will arrive in one of the oldest Benedictine abbey of Italy (1350) where they still keep the silence vow and where we will able to see the incredible masterpieces from Signorelli and Sodoma. Then all the way downhill to enter the Orcia Valley where we will be visiting very nice charming towns still off the beaten path; we will then stop in one of the oldest and well kept Roman Baths of the central part of Italy with a windmill system built in the Etruscan times. We will be visiting many other little medieval towns still surrounded by their XII sec. city walls.
Broad Plan:
we depart from your hotel around 9.30 a.m.
we'll be back by 7 p.m.
The Blue Itinerary
This tour touches the area called Chianti Classico. We will start around 9 a.m. and we will touch just a little piece of Crete senesi, than we will head into the Chianti and the landscape will change very quickly from the soft golden hills to the harder but not less beautiful green fields of olive trees and vineyards and secular forests. We will visit one of the nicest castles of Tuscany owned by the Ricasoli family since the 1141; in the afternoon, depending from their availability, we could visit another castle (the summer residence of the Ricasoli baron) and we will start heading towards the other two villages who mark the border of the original map of the Chianti region. During our driving we will be stopping in other very nice off the beaten path little villages still undisclosed by the big buses. During the day of course it will be possible to make wine tasting any time you feel you would like to. At the end of the day we can stop and visit an Etruscan tomb dating back to the 200 B.C. (the tomb unfortunately was raided so there isn't much inside, but it will still be very interesting to see the tomb rooms). Before getting back to the hotel, if we'll still have some daylight, we can stop in one of the few fortress/towns of Italy still intact like in the Middle Ages.
Broad Plan:
we depart from your hotel around 9.30 a.m.
we'll be back by 7 p.m.
Airport Shuttle/Transfer
Although our main focus is on organizing customized tours, we can help you with your connections in and out of Tuscany , whether it be by buses, trains or car; but sometimes for our clients who need to take planes or simply plan to spend some more days somewhere else in Italy, we also provide transportation from Tuscany to the major towns and airports in Italy.
Urte and I just wanted to thank you so much for a wonderful experience in Tuscany. We have been talking about our trip to family,friends, work colleagues, and clients. It was absolutely our best holiday ever!! Sorry, we took so long to reply. We really enjoyed all the information that you had given on the tour, without you our sightseeing would have been so dull. The lunch we had was very delicious as well. We keep talking about the Pici. After we left you, our journey's took us to Cinque Terre and then Zurich, Switzerland. We had a wonderful time. I hope that we can keep in contact and if you're ever in Los Angeles please contact us.Thanks again for your hospitality!! Regards.."-

-"My family and I wish to thank you so very much for showing us Tuscany through the eyes of a native, an invaluable experience that we would have never been able to capture on our own. Your knowledge not only of Italian history, but of agriculture and art, truly left us speechless as you shared with us facts of Italy's past as well as relating these facts to Italy's future. So seldom have I found a tour guide with such a sweep of interesting facts, while still maintaining a sense of history and humor, which is always a plus in my estimation.Your willingness to stop along the way for those "priceless photos" was always greeted with a sense of joyful spontaneity and we greatly appreciated your readiness to locate for us those landmarks that we were unable to find on previous trips. We are forever grateful for the unexpected pleasure we shared with you at La Porta ristorante: memorable food with a 4-star view of the Orcia valley. But the most indelible aspect of this tour will be your friendliness and willingness to share with us your love of your country.You can be certain that when we next visit Italy, we shall book the other tours around Tuscany. Yours sincerely.."-

"Hi guys! Things are going well here. We finally got some snow last week. Kim and I finished off the pecorino we bought in Pienza (I think). It was very good. I know we'll be visiting Tuscany again as soon as we can. It is a beautiful place.
Anyways, I hope all is well with you. Take care."-

-"We are all back in the US, we want to thank you for a fun and interesting time during our Red Itinerary tour on the 27th. We all enjoyed it very much. Hope you didn't get into too much trouble with your girlfriend when you got home so late that night. Thank you! "-

-"I want to personally thank you for the personal care that went into my tour of Tuscany. Yours is the type of tour I wish everyone had the opportunityto take as your love and appreciation of the land is first hand rather thanby the book. The wealth and detail of information you shared with us couldonly come from a native Tuscan, someone who truly loves and recognizes theworth of Tuscany and its surroundings. Thanks again and for sure: we'll be back!"-

- Julie Monahan-
-"We just wanted to thank you for a wonderful time in Italy. Your expertise, your interesting stories, and your drive through Tuscany, truly made our holiday in Italy an unforgettable experience. We loved our vacation, but the day we spent with you driving through Montalcino, Pienza, and Montechello will always be a very special memory. Our fabulous lunch, our meeting with "the poet", and the abbey visit were just part of the standouts from that
day. We hope to keep in touch and will definitely call upon you again if we ever return to Italy, and please know that if you are ever thinking of coming to NYC, you will always be welcome to stay here."-
-Toni and Joaquin-
-"We had lovely day with you in the countryside and much appreciate it and getting to know you. We will keep in touch. You are a good lad, Gianni. Let me know if ever I can be of help to you. I reckon, as we say in Texas, we will see each other again, there or here. All best, from your friend."-
