Hi Marco ! Thanks so much for the hike last weekend. It was a real highlight for us and it was really special way to discover the city of Florence without having to be in the city in that heat. The red wine with a view and a farm-style lunch to end the day was absolutely s p e c t a c u l a r.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us!!! We are so proud and Marco is super happy to read your words ! As a team we are working hard to make everything spectacular and takign people off the beaten path is our mission! Thank you so much again Claudia and come back again for more adventures!

Marco was a wonderful guide. We enjoyed our hike and the group and the lunch. It was a great experience!
Thank you so much Anne!!! We love to hear this! For our small company that is trying to propose something different is melting gold to read this!!! Thank you soooo much! Marco would love to read your words!
Smashing hike and day out. totally worth every penny. Stefano is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The hike was very well organised and the places we visited were out of this world: exactly how I imagined rural Tuscany to be, look and taste like. We're a vegan group and Stefano ensured that the wines we tasted and the meals we had (all absolutely exceptional!) were vegan. I cannot praise Out of the Box enough for doing such a wonderful job!
THank you so much!!!! We are working very hard to make everyone happy and everyone is welcome with us! Your support to our small business is incredible! Thank you soo much! Come back soon for more vegan adventures!
Lorenzo is a superb guide. He has tremendous knowledge of the natural and man made locale. He brought great positive energy to our walk. The meal at the end of the walk featured superb pasta. This trip was the highlight of our Florence stay. We would do it again.
Marvellous!!! Thank you so much for your support! Lorenzo is very happy to read your words! Thank you again for choosing a sustainable experience while visiting Florence! Thank you so much
What a beautiful morning walking ancient pathways away from the crowds if Florence! Our guide Lorenzo was a wealth of information! He pointed out flowers and herbs and wild foods growing along our paths as well as sharing the most picturesque view points!
Thank you so much Liz! We're so glad your enjoyed your adventure with us. Lorenzo is a key member of your team here at Out of the Box Florence. What a fountain of knowledge he is.
Amazing morning spent in the hills of Tuscany!! Stefano was so knowledgeable about the area and gave a wonderful tour!! Not to mention “the secret bench” with a bottle of Chianti, snacks and a breathtaking view of Florence. Topped off with a farm-table organic lunch. What a treat!! Highly recommend!!!
THANK YOU!!! Totally our pleasure! Delivering magic is our goal!!! Stefano is very valid member of our team and appreciated a lot his work! Thank you soooo much!!!
Get away from the madding crowd and hike the hills around Florence. We enjoyed our guide and his perspectives on history and the natural world. And lunch - lunch was good.
Thank you Elizabeth! Marvellous word. Lorenzo will be thrilled about it. Thank you so much for your support to Out of the Box Florence
Stefano took 4 of us on a fantastic hike through the Florence hills in April (late posting I know)! It was exhilarating to see Florence from the hills and after touring Italy, a great way to use our bodies for something other than eating and drinking. The only downside is once we were back in Florence, the city felt crowded and loud and I was ready to head back to the hills. Stefano is a great guide who pulled out some surprises along the way. I highly recommend this tour as a way to see Florence from a new viewpoint!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! I am so happy you have enjoyed the quiete hills of Florence :) Come back anytime soon :) Stefano
The views from Mount ceceri of course were incredible but the best part of this trip was our interaction with our guide Stefano. He was interesting personable and well prepared and took care of us very well under difficult circumstances.very hot weather.
Thank you soooooo much!!! Have a great Christmas. Stefano
