Your Personal Tuscany Tour Guide — Real Experiences, Not Tourist Routes
I’m Fabrizio, a Tuscan local who loves sharing the side of Tuscany most visitors never get to see. The places where winemakers still greet you by name, where hilltop villages slow down for lunch, and where recipes are passed down at the kitchen table — not written on a menu.
When you travel with Ciao Fabry Tours, I don’t follow a fixed itinerary. I build each private tour around what you care about most — whether that’s food, wine, history, countryside views, or simply enjoying Italy at a relaxed, local pace.
Why Travel Tuscany with Me?
- Tailored Itineraries: Every tour is custom-designed around your interests, schedule, and travel style. No two days are ever the same.
- Local Access: I introduce you to family-owned wineries, truffle hunters, and small villages that I’ve known for years — places most travelers never find on their own.
- Hands-On Experiences: From making fresh pasta in a Tuscan kitchen to walking vineyard rows with winemakers, you don’t just watch — you take part.
If you’re looking for a trip that feels less like a tour and more like being shown around by a local friend, you’re in the right place.

Our first day with Fabrizio was a custom tour of the Val d'Orcia area exploring landscapes vistas. Stops included Bagno Vignoni and Pienza. Beautiful vistas in countryside and Pienza. The second day's custom tour began with two wines tastings including lunch at the second one. A truffle hunt followed with the successful "finds" by two truffle hunting dogs. Said truffles included in an incredible pasta meal at Fabrizio's home. A truly fabulous day.

We loved touring Sienna and Pienza with Fabrizio, and can't recommend the experience highly enough! From start to finish, it was clear that he had a passion for the town’s history, culture, and architecture. He had fascinating stories and insightful details about the Renaissance influence, Pienza's charming streets, and the incredible history behind its cathedral and Palazzo Piccolomini.
He took the time to understand our interests (we travel with teenagers) and tailored the experience accordingly, making it feel more like a conversation than just a guided tour.
The guide’s knowledge of the region's food culture was another highlight! It was like being shown around by a friend who genuinely loves the area and is eager to share its secrets.
If you’re visiting the area, I highly recommend booking a tour with Fabrizio—whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or just someone who wants to connect with these stunning Tuscan towns. You won’t be disappointed!

This was one of the HIGHLIGHTS of our trip! Our day with Fabrizio was fun and magical! I could tell he was a charming guy from his quick reply to my emails when I looked into booking a day tour with him. He wrote that he would plan a day that we would not forget to include wine tasting and lunch in Pienza. We trusted him to plan our day, and he did not disappoint. He was on time to pick us up, and his car was very comfortable. We had so much fun with him as he has an entertaining personality and also knows so much about the area. What was also great is that he was in no rush to return us - he took all the time we needed - he even stopped at one of his favorite "to go" pizza stops do that we could take pizza back to our amazing room at Stella di Monte. It truly was a PERFECT day and well worth every penny! We HIGHLY recommend everyone to book at day with Fabrizio and let him surprise you with a memorable day! You will never forget it!

Our full day wine tour with Fabrizio was amazing! He came highly recommended by the hotel that we were staying at, and we are so glad that we booked a tour with him. Fabrizio has an amazing personality, was so easy to talk to, and was so knowledgeable about EVERYTHING wine and Tuscany. He picked us up at our hotel in the morning and we started with a tour of Val d'Orcia and Pienza; Fabrizio detailed the history of these hilltop towns and we even grabbed an espresso! We also got to see the ancient baths in Bagno Vignoni which was a total hidden gem! After that we went to two different wineries. The first was a Brunello winery where we had a lunch and tasting and the second where we got an intimate vineyard tour with the owner followed by another tasting of his wines (both wineries were amazing and we purchased bottles at each!). The relationship Fabrizio has with those he works with shows as he was welcomed by everyone and had such a warm and friendly nature between them all. We are so grateful for the opportunity to experience the Val d'Orcia region the way we did with Fabrizio, it was truly the locals experience, and it was the highlight of our entire Italy trip and we would recommend anyone to book a tour with him!!

It sounds like it has to be an overstatement, but it is not: My son, husband, and I had not only our best day in Italy, but one of the best days of lives on this incredible tour. Gorgeous, delicious, and the best tour guide imaginable. Thank you, Fabrizio. You were above and beyond and we think of you always with love and gratitude.

Do not go to Tuscany without booking at least 1 tour with Fabrizio! We did 2 and if he wouldn’t have been already booked, we would have spent every day in Tuscany with him! Every person in our family of 5 ranging in age of 20 to 60 had the best time. This is Fabrizio’s world and he knows where to take you so you see every jaw-dropping sight and go to wineries, farms, and cheese makers that are authentic and not filled with hundreds of tourists. At those places you don’t even feel like you are on a private tour, but that Fabrizio has brought you to visit with his family. Can’t say enough good things. We are not going back to Italy without a tour with our new Tuscan cousin Fabrizio.

Oh My Goodness, Fabrizio showed us the most amazing time in Tuscany. He was so knowledgeable about the area. As he grew up there. He introduced us to some amazing and exclusive wineries. We continue to order wine and olive oil from this very special place. Fabrizio can get along with any one...... He and our 24 year old son hit it off and he was very accommodating to my husband and myself. He's fun ,knowledgeable and willing to make your tour very special and cater to exactly what you want. We highly recommend the finest and most fun tour guide in all of Tuscany!!!

My two daughters took me to Italy to celebrate my birthday. As if that wasn’t enough they booked Fabrizio as a tour guide. Well! There are no words to express how wonderful he was. He was the cherry on top of our Italian sundae.
His knowledge and professionalism were only eclipsed by his charm and good humor. Seeing Tuscany through his eyes was a history lesson and a celebration.
I cannot imagine going to Tuscany and not seeing him. We left feeling like we have a friend in Italy.

This was an amazing tour! Fabrizio was incredible - knowledgeable, entertaining, thoughtful, informative, conscientious… He picked us up in Montepulciano around 9:30 and dropped us back off around 5-5:30 - it was a full wonderful day! Say beautiful views and landscapes, lovely Pienza and all it had to offer, two wineries, Roman baths… It was one of our favourite days on our 5 week trip!
BOOK THIS TOUR!!! You won’t be disappointed, BUT you’ll regret it if you don’t!!!

I cannot recommend Fabrizio's tours enough! My boyfriend and I planned a trip to Tuscany in April 2024 and we were given a recommendation from the hotel to try to book Fabrizio. We were so lucky to book Fabrizio's tour because I know he is in high demand. He went out of his way to show us an extra spot on our tour. He picked the absolute best places to bring us and we could not be more grateful for the experience. Fabrizio felt like a friend right away!

We were referred to Fabrizio Fe at Ciao Fabry Tours based in Montipulciano Italy for our planned visit to Tuscany. We utilized Fabrizio for one day and he was fabulous! Born and raised in Tuscany, Fabrizio brought a wealth of knowledge and experience of the area to us in a very personal way.
In visiting interesting and historical cities and villages, Fabrizio offered insights and pointed out details we would have surely missed on our own.
If you are planning a trip to Tuscany you need to check out Ciao Fabry Tours and introduce yourself or your group to Fabrizio and share with him your trip details.

Our guided tour with Fabrizio through Montepulciano and the surrounding villages was absolutely amazing. Fabrizio is an absolute blast of a tour guide—his friendly and energetic personality made the experience even more enjoyable. He truly knows the area and shares his passion with everyone. A special highlight was visiting Farina Pierino Winery, which was a very unique and authentic experience. It was an unforgettable tour, and I can't recommend Ciao Fabry Tours enough!

We had an amazing day with Fabrizio on a wine tour, and tour of Montepulciano and the surrounding area. Fabrizio customized the day perfectly and was so comfortable to be around that by the end of the day we felt like old friends. The best thing about this experience is that besides having great memories, we also look forward to returning and having another unique experience with Fabrizio. There’s so much beauty there and so many things to see and do. Thanks so much Fabrizio, and Ciao Fabry Tours!

Experience Tuscany Like a Local
Tuscany isn’t just where I work — it’s where I grew up, where my family still lives, and where many of the people you’ll meet are friends I’ve known for years.
That’s what makes these tours different. You’re not being guided through a checklist of famous places. You’re being welcomed into a way of life — sharing meals, stories, and moments that most travelers never get close to.
Whether it’s a quiet wine tasting in a small vineyard, a truffle hunt in the countryside, or a long dinner at my table in Montepulciano, my goal is simple: to help you leave Tuscany feeling like you truly lived here, even if only for a short while.
