Mau took my wife and I on a wonderful trip through the Brunello wine region and Tuscany. It was a great day, and riding around with Mau is like being with a good friend, who happens to know a bunch of cool spots to go in the Italian countryside. He was very friendly, and tailored the tour to meet our needs. We went to one of the more famous wineries, Altesino, then we went to a really small winery. This gave me a nice contrast and experience at both ends of the spectrum. We had lunch in the fort in Montalcino, then saw the magnificent Sant Antimo. It was a fun time, and we hope to return and spend another day with Mau!

Maurizio was recommended to us by our rental agency. We were spending time exploring Florence and Rome with our adult children (six in all) and wanted to see the Tuscan countryside in between. We considered driving ourselves, but the prospect of two cars, no drinking, and figuring everything out on our own proved daunting. We were so glad we decided to hire Maurizio instead. We were picked up at our door in Florence, treated to a lovely day of history, beauty, delicious food, and great company! We visited small towns, a private winery, spectacular views, and then we were delivered to the door of our hotel in Siena. The day definitely exceeded our expectations.

Maurizio has provided us with wonderful tours to Siena and San Gimignano over the past few years. When we were planning our 2012 trip to Italy , this time with 2 people who had never been, it was only natural to reserve a full day with Mau. He is a wonderful teacher, so knowledgeable and passionate about his region and country. He is absolutely charming!! Our group consisted of seven adults and we toured Tuscany in a large, comfortable vehicle. The cost of the full day of touring is very reasonable. Mau is a true professional. We look forward to future trips to Italy and experiencing other tours with Mau.

My husband and I took a one day private tour with Maurizio in October. Maurizio's extensive knowledge certainly adds to the pleasure of the trip. He provided us with exactly what we had requested. We visited the countryside including small villages with delightful squares and a tour of a private winery. We had the opportunity to leisurely stroll through the villages and shop as we desired. We had a delicious lunch on a terrace overlooking a picturesque vineyard. Maurizio stopped frequently along the way to afford my husband , an avid photographer, the opportunity to take amazing photographs. We would highly recommend Mauizio and his tour for anyone who would like to see the beautiful Tuscany area in a very personal way.
