The places I guide through are carefully selected for their biodiversity, natural beauty, and peaceful atmosphere. These are areas rarely visited by mass tourism — quiet forests, hidden ridges, and valleys where nature still feels untouched.

Hiking in Tuscany with Stefano was a great experience for me, as it was my first time exploring this area. He knows the area really well, not only geographically but also historically. His hospitality, welcoming attitude and kindness accompanying us was much appreciated. It felt like your friend exploring the area with your friend!
Javier H.
Hiking with Stefano was spectacular. He showed us paths very secrets that are not in the maps. For me, the best was his energy and how he knows the mountain. Is more better than the big tours. Really I recommend it for to see the real Tuscany!
