Our objective is to introduce our guests to our traditions by having them participate in many traditional activities that make part of our culture.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Claudio's interest and passion for his culture encouraged him to travel with his son, Eduardo to different parts of Tuscany. For many years he sought out traditional festivals, ate at local family run restaurants and visited hidden getaways known to locals only.
He became friends with the local town people, friends with the chefs and owners of theses little family run restaurants. He became so fascinated by his findings; he made it his mission to share them with all his friends that lived abroad.

Then a friend asked him to organize a personalized, unique and authentic tour for his friends. Claudio decided this would be the perfect opportunity to share his knowledge. The tour was such a success; the same group came back again the following season, but this time with their friends and family.

Since then, Claudio has been organizing these authentic, personalized tours. His passion for sharing the traditions and authentic sides of Tuscany in a personalized way gave him the idea of naming his new company "Authentic Tuscany".


CLAUDIO’S COMMENTS:

I know the local town's people; I know the restaurant owners, the chefs and their families. So when you go shopping, go wine tasting or just sit town for a great Italian meal, you are not just another paying customer, you are a part of our family. As long as I'm around, you'll be treated special.
