We booked our trip with Gianni who organised accommodation and suggested a walking schedule. In addition we also had the pleasure of having a truly superb 4 course dinner on one night, prepared and cooked for us in our beautiful Villa by a friend of Gianni's; Elisa; super, fresh, local produce, prepared by a professional chef. We found dealing with... More

Our family spent the day with Gianni, and walked the countryside near San Gimignano. We learned quite alot about the history of the region, the lives of the people at that time, and about local and Italian culture. We viewed the ruins of a medieval village along the hike, and also learned a bit about the topography of the region.... More

We booked a full day walk near Cortona with Gianni. He was a fantastic guide, very friendly and informative, and a pleasure to get to know. We got to see some absolutely gorgeous views of the city and the valley - we had the luck to see the whole valley covered in mist - stunning. Would definitely recommend Gianni to... More

We booked a full-day walk with Gianni around Monteriggioni in October. Gianni was a perfect host/guide and we all really enjoyed our walk and the interesting information he shared with us. Gianni's recommendation for a best hand made Pici pasta dish at Latte di Luna Restaurant in Pienza was spot on. All in all, a fantastic experience. Thanks Gianni. Cristel,... More

We booked 2 tours with Gianni. A day in the Chianti area and a day in Val d'Orcia. We thoroughly enjoyed both. The beauty of the area is a given, which you could see on your own, but doing a tour with Gianni comes with many bonuses. He is a very personable individual, easy to talk to and a wealth... More

We spent a wonderful half-day with Gianni, walking from Abbadia Isola to Montereggioni on a portion of the Via Francigena pilgrimage route. Gianni was full of detailed knowledge to share about the area, with modern insights as a resident and historical context about the path. He planned a great walk for us, taking care to adjust the route once he... More

October 1 to 10, 2012 I am now convinced that the best way to experience Tuscany is by walking. We were a party of four and went to Tuscany to celebrate my 60th birthday. We were looking for a unique and special activity and we decide to book with Gianni after I heard him play the flute on his website.... More

We contracted with Gianni several months in advance but asked for some major changes at the last minute due to brief illness. He was gracious and quick, fulfilling our request to a beyond our expectations level. I have known him for many years and he is level headed, loves what he does but respects the client's desires and wishes. I... More

Having traveled to Italy many times, I was looking for something new and different to do on my latest visit. A friend of mine from Florence and I took a full-day walking tour with Gianni through the Chianti vineyards and Tuscan countryside. Gianni was a fantastic guide because he not only led me to places I hadn't seen before but... More
