Ciao! I'm Guido Paoli, a Certified Environmental Hiking Guide.

For years, I’ve traveled around the world. I worked as a sommelier in Spain and Sweden, backpacked through Latin America for a year and a half, and lived in vibrant cities like London and Berlin. These experiences eventually led me back home — to Mugello — in search of a more authentic life, one that’s deeply connected to nature and its rhythms.

Today, I guide people through the stunning landscapes of this region, with the belief that walking is more than just moving from one place to another.
It’s a way to reconnect — with yourself, with the land, and with the stories every trail has to tell.

Over time, this return to slowness also became a deeper commitment to sustainability — to exploring nature in a way that respects and protects the environment I call home.

Slow Foot is the result of my passion for nature, history, the food and wine culture of my homeland: Tuscany.

With deep knowledge of the territory, I’m committed to offering authentic experiences: from environmental and cultural hikes, to food and wine tastings, to moments of meditation immersed in nature.

The philosophy of Slow Foot is simple: slow down, observe, feel.
Choosing Slow Foot means giving yourself a different kind of time — an immersive journey to discover, calmly and consciously, the true essence of Tuscany.
