We spent a day and a half with Marco, and already we are looking forward to our next visit so we can see more, experience more and learn more with him. We told Marco what we were interested in, and he planned our walks accordingly. Marco was able to provide us with all kinds of information, whether it was about... More

Having experienced a very stressful time with Ryan Air missing my flight and having finally reached my destination with the rest of the hiking group, the guided walks with Marco soon uplifted my spirits! Marco gave us a real insight into the hidden treasures and the true beauty of Tuscany, Arezzo, vineyards, olive trees, the breathtaking landscapes, history, culture and... More

We were a group of 10 and had an excellent couple of days with Marco and another great day with Giacomo who is a friend of Marco and was recommended by him. The are both very well-informed, well spoken and cool guys and it felt more like a really good friend was showing us around their locality. We felt we... More

We planned a birding trip with Marco as a day out from a short break in Florence, but wished we had booked all three days with him. The pre-trip organisation was superb and Marco met us from the San Miniato Fucecchia railway station to embark on a day's birding in the marshland around Monsummato. We are keen birders in the...

My wife was heading for Tuscany and I needed to find some birding opportunities, so contacted Marco and a few other people. Marco was extremely responsive and I was able to set up two days of birding with him. What... More

We spent two days with Marco, and saw so much in that time, things we would never have found on our own. Our time with him was spent in the Arezzo region, visiting Montepulciano and other towns, as well as prowling around the country. One of the best things we did was walk around the mountain on which St. Francis... More

I did a one-day bird outing with Marco mid June, during exceptionally hot weather. We drove around Umbria near Cortona (with a nice lunch break in town) and up to Mt Ginezzo. I was quite wilted by the heat, and the birds weren't very abundant. So we also looked at churches and buildings, and he told me about the history... More

This past May, my wife, daughter and I embarked on a unique adventure with Marco in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Having done little birding in Europe, we were thrilled to be guided to a wide variety of habitats and provided the opportunity to discover a wide range of bird and animal species – including several regional and European rarities....

I used Marco for a 2-3 day birding trip. Marco was very knowledgeable and is a nice guy.
