The Art of Seeing
This is where my experience as a photographer shapes your entire journey. I don't just guide; I guide you to see. I don't just guide; I guide you to see. My expert eye is perpetually seeking the perfect light, the unique composition, and the stunning visual detail that others walk right past.
Every step we take is designed to immerse you in a world of beauty, ensuring your memories of Tuscany are framed with a discerning, artistic taste.
Presence Over Pace
The exclusive tours I craft are designed for immersion and unwinding. As a Mindfulness/Vipassana Teacher, my methodology is centered on the present moment, which allows me to guide you past everyday distractions and into a deeper connection with your surroundings. I encourage a focus on the experience—the profound quiet, the quality of light on the path, and the feeling of genuine restoration.
We embrace a slow-paced, adventurous approach because true beauty cannot be rushed. While my deep knowledge—including a passion for Mycology and local ecology—is the foundation, the ultimate goal is the profound discovery of the moment. We move beyond the well-known to truly feel the essence of Tuscany's wild heart.

Why Choose Me as Your Guide 🧭
Certified Expertise You Can Trust
As a certified GAE (Guida Ambientale Escursionistica) in Tuscany, I hold the official regional qualifications to lead groups safely through our most pristine natural areas. Additionally,I'm one of the few guides with an official Tuscan certification in mushroom identification—a specialized credential that ensures accurate, safe species recognition.
Years of Field Experience
I've spent years leading groups through mountains, forests, and hidden trails. This experience has taught me not just where to go, but how to read the landscape, adapt to different group dynamics, and create memorable experiences for everyone from beginners to seasoned hikers.
A Photographer's Perspective
My background as a nature, landscape, and macro photographer specializing in fungi and plants means I see the forest differently. I notice the details others miss—the perfect specimen hiding under leaves, the interplay of light on a mushroom cap, the composition that will make your photos shine. You'll return home not just with knowledge, but with stunning images.
