Myriam Buzzi. Myriam was born in Paris to a French mother and an Italian father. She spent her childhood between France and the USA. Every summer she traveled to Tuscany to visit her relatives. After completing her education abroad, she decided she wanted to make Italy her home. And I quote Myriam “When people ask me why I have been living in Tuscany for 35 years, I simply answer that I feel at home. This land is rich in culture, art, amazing scenery and delicious food, which I feasted on since I was a child (including a glass or two of wine).

I settled in Florence, where I worked in the high fashion industry for many years as a public relations officer. My duties involved PR with foreign clientele, and I was also responsible for organizing their itineraries and entertainment in Tuscany. I’m a self taught “wine expert” in the sense I’ve never taken formal lessons, but my love of wine has been the driving force behind trying to find out as much as I can over the years. The experience gained in PR prompted the desire to open my own business as a Tuscany driver guide. I took my passion for wine, food and the natural beauty of the Tuscan landscapes one step further, and now take great pleasure in transmitting this passion to my guests.”

Maurizio Bellini. Born and raised in Florence (some time ago) which accounts for his wide knowledge of all things Tuscan. He has studied the history of art and architecture in the city, and is an expert on Florence, San Gimignano and Siena. His tours are highly educational, and you’ll receive you a wealth of information during the outward journey. By the time you reach your destination, you’ll know all you need to know. Of course he’s also a passionate wine lover, and like all of us on this site, well versed on the characteristics of Tuscan wines. His career began as a fashion designer, in the United States, Japan and Europe. Then after many years, and desiring an outdoor life, he began working as a driver guide 25 years ago.

To quote Maurizio’s own words: “I love to share my interest in all things Tuscan: the traditions, art, local products, and of course my passion for wine. I’m always looking to establish a relationship with my guests, not simply to provide a service, but emotions and feelings. Being a Tuscany driver guide isn’t just a job: it’s an endless journey providing unique experiences and exchanges for myself and my guests.”

Sandro Fabbrini the photographer for the personal photographer tour. A native of Tuscany he lives in San Giovanni Valdarno. His interest in photography started when he was thirteen, and when he left school he turned his passion into his profession. He opened his photographic studio called “Fotosandro” in San Giovanni Valdarno in his early twenties which was a long time ago), and the shop is a landmark for all who live there. He has an excellent knowledge of Tuscany and a great ability in blending people, landscapes and architecture into one gorgeous photo, which can be viewed as a whole, or where each element could be the subject. The scenes of my wine tours form a perfect background for unforgettable photo shoots for families, friends or lovers. Your Tuscany wine tour will become a lifelong memory.
