MISS
GAIA BANDINI YOUR TOUR GUIDE IN TUSCANY
|
I
will be more than a guide to you; I will be your friend
and reference point for the whole period of your tuscan
holidays.
I was born in Milano 33 years ago, and when I was 3 my
family decided to move to the unspoilt and fascinating
tuscan countryside. I have done all my studies in Siena
(one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Tuscany)
up to University and in 1994 I graduated in Political
Sciences. Five years ago I decided to become a guide,
as I find it an extremely good way to stay with new people,
to appreciate new spots in my own country and to keep
contacts with nature, culture and history.
Tuscany is full of interesting features, going from basic
nature to the most exciting museums and pieces of art;
as soon as you'll be in your "holiday villa",
we'll meet and discuss together the most appealing and
interesting itineraries for you.
We can offer you all sort of things: wine and vineyard
tours, cheese-factories, local craftsmen, potteries, thermal
baths, etruscan sites and museums, music, the Chianti
region with its well-known castles, art-classes (water
colours, weaving, painting on silk), famous churches and
abbeys of the region, shopping in the best stores and
shops, restaurants, the tuscan archipelago, medieval towns
etc.
I am sure your tuscan holiday will be in your memories
for ever, we try to give you absolutely the best and to
leave in your hearts a bit of our sun and joy.
