Simply the Best, Certo! - Fabrizio’s energy, authenticity, and love for his local “family” and land was apparent from the moment we met him. His great sense of humour only seemed to amplify this. His local knowledge and passion for his home region and the relationships he has developed was bottomless. Our tour of the Val D’Orcia and two of its boutique wineries was fantastic. It was a truly custom experience that evolved as the day unfolded. The only thing that would be better than spending a whole day with Fabrizio, would be spending a weekend! We have already recommended Fabrizio to our family and they will be lucky enough to spend a day in beautiful Tuscany with him this spring. Grazie Fabrizio!

Fabrizio is the best guide in Tuscany! - Fabrizio is incredible - his personality and hospitality completely make this tour unforgettable. A former sommelier, Fabrizio knows all the key players at the family-owned wineries in Tuscany - we visited Montalcino and Val d'orcia. He drove us on a scenic route with incredible panoramic views while describing the history of the region. He stopped at off-the-beaten path wineries where he personally knows the owners and had privileged access to the vineyards and tasting rooms. You don't get this kind of access if you show up on your own. We visited Fabrizio's friend Alessandro and they made us an incredible 4-course lunch with local farm to table ingredients and local wine grown on a family vineyard. This way of seeing Tuscany is more pure and authentic than the places with the big tour buses. Our day with Fabrizio was the highlight of our trip - and we highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

Fabrizio is the absolute best !! - My husband and I booked 2 full days to tour and experience the Tuscan countryside with Fabrizio. These became two of the most fabulous and memorable days of our lives. Fabrizio created a customized itinerary based upon our interests. This included two private winery tours, a farmhouse lunch, and the most unbelievable private chef's lunch where I had the best food of my life! Fabrizio was so knowledgeable, energetic, and genuine. He shared so much of his knowledge and expertise and made our time in Tuscany so special. We still stay in touch with him and frequently reminisce about the fun and authentic tuscan experience he created for us. I cannot recommend him enough!!

A Magical Family Trip to Tuscany!!!! - By far Fabrizio has been our best tour guide ever throughout our many world travels. If you are traveling to Tuscany, you should book him now before it is too late. One of the highlights of our fall-October tour was Fabrizio's remarkable ability to tailor the itinerary to our desired preferences: avoid the crowds and give us your local flavor. His customization transformed our journey into a one-of-a-kind adventure, ensuring that every moment was perfectly suited to my family's tastes and interests. Whether it was exploring the quaint village of Pienza, sampling local cheese and wine delicacies, or simply taking in the breathtaking scenery, Fabrizio went above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of magical. He spoke English with a fun Italian accent, was professionally dressed, provided quality transportation, and included laughter along the way (at no extra charge.) Fabrizio's knowledge of the cities (Pienza, Sienna, Montepulciano, and Florence) we visited was truly impressive. His passion for the history, art, food, wine, and culture of Tuscany shone through in his engaging commentary, providing us with fascinating insights at every step of the way. We loved our tour of medieval Siena, and another unforgettable moment was our visit to a small local cheese shop in charming Pienza that Fabrizio recommended. From walking the streets of Siena, where Fabrizio once lived, to the iconic landmarks of Florence, Fabrizio's expertise added depth and richness to our journey, making each stop along the way all the more meaningful. He knew exactly where we should park, walk, stop for a rest, and of course, drink and eat. But perhaps the most memorable aspect of our journey was Fabrizio's heartfelt storytelling. As we traveled from town to town, he shared intimate glimpses into his dreams, family history, mama’s recipes, favorite wine, and Italian cooking weaving through with personal anecdotes. These heartfelt stories added a layer of fun, warmth, and authenticity to our journey, deepening our connection to the gorgeous land and its people in a way that words cannot fully capture. Fabrizio is very real and certainly not scripted. He shared the best of Italian hospitality every second of our travels. And let's not forget Fabrizio's willingness to go the extra mile to ensure our happiness. When we mentioned that we had friends visiting in nearby Florence, he graciously offered to meet us at the villa, crafting a customized tour of the busy city that surpassed all expectations. I can still taste that Cacio e Pepe pasta. Several days before we met Fabrizio in Florence, we became lost in the city, and over a year after returning to the USA received four very expensive traffic tickets. Do not even think of driving in Florence! In conclusion, our Tuscany tour with Fabrizio was nothing short of spectacular. From his personalized approach to his infectious laughter, from his wealth of knowledge to his heartfelt storytelling, every aspect of our journey was infused with his unique blend of passion and expertise. His website tells it all, especially the online blooper video which is why my family booked him in the first place. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure through the heart of Tuscany, look no further than Fabrizio – he truly is the epitome of Italian hospitality at its finest! "It’s the friends you meet along the way that help us appreciate the journey." Grazie mille, Fabrizio, for a truly magical experience. We shall return to Tuscany because of you!

What Tuscan Dreams Are Made Of - Our day with Fabrizio was a highlight of our trip. Myself and 5 girlfriends rented a villa in Tuscany for the week. A couple of us did some research and stumbled upon Fabrizio's website. We wanted a combination of ideas that he had posted, so we emailed him asking for recommendations and explaining how we would love to spend the day and he did not disappoint. Fabrizio rented a van so that we could all enjoy the day and not worry about driving. He picked us up from the villa and returned us safely home at the end. Fabrizio took us to 2 absolutely breathtaking wineries run by the kindest people- one touting Sangiovese and the other Brunello. We all took wine home from both- excellent options. We stopped between wineries to have the most beautiful and delicious lunch at a farmhouse where everyone on staff was an absolute delight. We ate outside under a veranda on the hill overlooking val d'orcia and surrounded by olive trees that were hundreds of years old. We also stopped into Pienza at sunset for breathtaking views and some great photo opps. Do not hesitate to plan a trip or event with Fabrizio!

Unforgettable Tuscan Adventure: A Day with Fabrizio - Spending time with Fabrizio in the Tuscan countryside in June 2022 was one of the most memorable parts of our Italy trip. Others have said this in his reviews, but it truly feels like you are hanging out with a fun, knowledgeable, local friend. And that’s because he genuinely is interested in getting to know you while making sure your experience with him is top-notch. He effortlessly navigates the weaving village streets and shares stories and experiences that bring the history and culture alive. And when the time is right, he gives you space to enjoy some moments privately. We were with Fabrizio the whole day, from stopping into villages like Montepulciano, cruising the white roads of Tuscany, visiting a remote winery for some delicious Brunello, and having a wonderful meal at his friend’s farm. We are so grateful, Fabrizio! Ciao! Bill & Jenny (your Chicago friends)

A perfect day in Tuscany with Fabrizio - Simply AMAZING! Fabrizio is a gem! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about this region, he is a lovely human being to spend a day with. He is friendly, intelligent, funny, kind and authentic. It is evident that he tries to build relationships with his guests, rather than simply showing them the sites. He goes above and beyond to make your experience personal, unique and enjoyable. We can’t say enough good about Fabrizio. We had such a perfect day with him and we can’t wait to come back to Tuscany and see him again. Gracie mille Fabrizio!

5 Billion Stars Tour! - This was one of the best tours we have ever taken. Fabrizio gave us the most well rounded private tour of Tuscany, visiting beautiful spots to make memories, a family owned winery with an expert sommelier, a plaza with ancient history, a beautiful village, and so much more. You get your own local expert in wine and food who loves this region guiding you to the most beautiful places, sharing his knowledge and passion. You can tell how much he handpicked places to bring us to. He is incredibly easy to get along with, has great stories, and is just a good guy. We mentioned we needed contact solution and he took us to two places to find it, I mean really, who does that?! My husband and I hit the jackpot when we booked this tour, there is nothing else like it. Don’t think twice and book it. You will not regret it.
