Marina Aldi - Tourist, Environmental and Park Guide

Excursions and guided tours on Giglio Island

I was born, live and work on the island of Giglio and have been working as a tourist guide, environmental guide and guide of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park for more than thirty years.

All year round I offer guided tours for individuals or groups, for adults, young people and children.

In my excursions and guided tours, I introduce you to the fascinating history, the archaeology, the plants and the minerals of the island of Giglio, MY ISLAND!

The offer is also aimed at schools of all levels, both Italian and foreign, for daily visits or educational stays of several days.

In my shop-office-museum in Giglio Castello you can also visit, by appointment, the complete collection of minerals and the collection of old postcards of the island of Giglio.

Guided Tour of Giglio Castello

From June to October, on Sundays and Mondays (on request), two hours before sunset, I offer a historical tour of the medieval village of Giglio Castello.

As a historical guide, I will take you through the history of the island and its oldest and most characteristic village, with its narrow streets, its works of art housed in the church, its curiosities, its sunsets and its culinary delights.

At the end of the tour, you will have the opportunity (for a fixed supplement) to sample the local cuisine in a typical restaurant in Giglio Castello.
