About Me
My name is Claudia and I live in the countryside around Lucca, together with my husband and our three children.
It is a place I deeply love: gentle hills, silences filled with light, and the timeless beauty of the historic Villas of the Lucca area, some of which are part of my tours.
My work began almost by chance, ten years ago, at a time of change in my life. After losing my job, I was looking for a new direction. During that same period, my eldest daughter, who had graduated in tourism, was also looking for her professional path. Together we explored possibilities, new directions, and new ideas.
While reading about the profession of a tour guide, I felt something spark inside me: art, history, people, sharing. Everything I had always loved, all brought together in one job.
When I proposed the idea to my daughter, she replied, a bit exasperated: “But why don’t you do it yourself?”
And she was right..
So I started the course to become a tour guide, without imagining that this decision would become the work I love. Today I guide travelers in discovering Tuscany with passion, curiosity, and the desire to create authentic experiences, not just simple visits.
I love reading and cooking—especially improvising. The best dishes are created when I open the fridge and turn leftovers into something surprising. A bit like in my tours: creativity, attention, and love for what surrounds me.
I mainly organize tours in Tuscany, along the coast and in the areas that I know and live every day. Toscana, lungo la costa e nei territori che conosco e vivo ogni giorno.
If you would like to discover this land through the eyes of someone who truly loves it, I look forward to welcoming you to Tuscany.
