Tuscany At Heart - Private Guided Tours

About

Tuscany At Heart is a boutique private‑guided tour company that curates bespoke experiences across the heart of Tuscany and the Italian Riviera di Levante. Founded by award‑winning licensed guide and art historian Martina Beatrice Manfredi, the company offers a diverse menu of tours—historical walking and bike rides in Pisa and Lucca, canoe and boat excursions along the Arno and Ligurian coast, culinary and wine tastings in the rolling hills of Val d’Orcia, and hands‑on workshops in alabaster carving and silk weaving. Each itinerary can be customized to suit solo adventurers, family groups, couples or foodies, ensuring that every guest receives personal attention and local authenticity. The guided tours are led by Martina, who combines her deep knowledge of Tuscan heritage with a warm, conversational approach that turns any traveler into an insider. The company’s hallmark is its commitment to immersion: travelers are welcomed to participate in traditional wine‑making sessions, truffle‑hunts in woodland estates, and masterful craft demonstrations in historic workshops. With a portfolio that spans 15 towns—including Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Florence and Cinque Terre—Tuscany At Heart offers both steep‑incline hikes and relaxed sailing trips, as well as off‑beat city‑scape explorations such as a bike ride through the ancient ramparts of Lucca. Beyond adventure, the tours emphasize gastronomic delights: guests taste house‑made gelato, locally produced cheese, and aromatic almond biscotti, paired with Chianti DOCG, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, and aromatic Vin Santo. Whether you’re seeking cultural depth, culinary delight or hands‑on craft, Tuscany At Heart promises a personalized, story‑rich journey that transforms the familiar into the unforgettable.
