WHO WE ARE
Hello, I’m Alioscia Lombardini, born and raised between
Colle di Val d’Elsa and Siena, in the heart of Tuscany. I’ve studied
Political Science, History and History of Art at Siena University,
I love wine and food, and I love my Tuscany and its culture.
I’ve spent one year in Ireland, three months in the west cost
of the US, traveled on many short trips in half of Europe, and
walked the Camino di Santiago (800 km, 500 miles, of and old pilgrimage
path in the north of Spain for 1 month) During all this time I
made a decision, loving my land and my people, I decided
to came back in Tuscany and use my experience and knowledge to
give the possibility to tourists or Tuscan lovers in general to
appreciate and experience our History, Culture, Art, Food, and
Wine.
So I started this business in 2001, and three years later, answering
to the request of the people I “invented” our tour by
bus in the Terre di Siena, that the local authority on
tourism liked so much they made them the official tours of the
Siena province!
In the meantime I’ve created other tours and opportunities of
exploring our Tuscany in smaller group or individually, but every
example you see are only suggestions, that could be changed following
your desires. So if you want to experience Tuscany came to Siena
and join our tour, or write to me to set up your private tour.
I will be one of the guides for this private tours, if I can,
I will never miss the opportunity to drive around my beloved land
and show it to people that like the idea to discover it.
All the tour that you are finding here are thought and
priced for a group of a maximum of 8 people, but if you are more,
or you have a bigger group, just write to me, I will be able to
arrange a tour for your exigencies.
More, I have a little office near Il Campo square, the
heart of Siena, my home city, in which we answer to all
the exigencies that a visitor of our area of Tuscany could have:
information, accommodation, tours, transfer and whatever you could
need. You can visit us or call us or, even better write to us,
we will very happy to answer you as soon as possible. All the
guys that work with me are sharing my same passion and love for
Tuscany, here you will find their description as well.

Marco Turra
Marco started the company with me,
but its quest for freedom that have brought him all around the
world never allowed him to set firmly in Tuscany. Born in Feltre,
in the north east of Italy in the Dolomite Mountains, moved in
Siena to study languages at the University 12 years ago.
Its large capability of enjoying the life and interact
with people became the basis of its profession of “animatore turistico”
and still today as tour leader or private driver these
carateristics make a day with Marco a great experience.
