Italy Tours in Nature is the place for nature lovers and plant enthusiasts. My name is Massimiliano – but you can call me Max! I am an Italian qualified and registered Nature Guide, based in the UK and Italy, and I have been traveling across my country for many years. I have lived in Italy for most of my life, and I am passionate about it. I am especially keen on Italian nature, and over time I ha
ve come to know and love places that show a country usually unseen by the common traveler – and certainly missed by the average tourist. I have created Italy Tours in Nature as a collection of ideas that I am keen to share to help you get in touch with the Nature of Italy in a way that has little to do with stereotypes or the massively traveled tourist routes. My goal is to take you off the beaten track, and present you instead with an Italy rarely seen. My first intent, with Italy Tours in Nature, is to create a unique Insider’s Guide to the Nature of Italy – one that will bring you the added value of first-hand experience. An experience that keeps building over time – and that’s the reason why I am adding new information to the site on a regular basis; I therefore invite you to come and visit it often. My goal is to create carefully crafted pages, where you will find lots of researched and updated material on several locations in Italy – always with a focus on Nature, of course, but not exclusively. I also organize tours in many parts of Italy, and for this activity I give an absolute precedence to the Dolomites: beautiful mountains where I have lived, which I love and that I have known since childhood. This is where I can use my knowledge at its best, and where I feel I can offer a better service. But I also organize trips to other parts of the country – most notably in my native region of Emilia-Romagna and parts of neighbouring Marche; in Liguria (the Cinque Terre and Portofino areas) as well as in the regions to the north east of Italy at large – such as Veneto, Trentino, South Tyrol and Friuli. My way of leading tours is based on accurate preparation and taking full care of the details. There is a structured time for learning and knowledge, but there will also be occasions for sharing – and hopefully to have some fun too! The goal is to enjoy the natural beauty of Italy in a comfortable, knowledgeable and relaxed setting… with a touch of “serendipity” as well!
