Welcome to Slow Foot
Walking slowly is a way to rediscover nature, listen to silence, and reconnect with yourself.
I will guide you through the most authentic trails of Tuscany, offering a slow, meaningful, and restorative journey through landscapes, stories, and local flavors.
The name reflects a clear mission — to rediscover this land at a slow pace, with the mindfulness that only slowness can bring. Because it’s by walking without haste that we can truly connect with the depth of what surrounds us and with ourselves.

About the Guide
Ciao! I'm Guido Paoli, a Certified Environmental Hiking Guide.
Traveling the world, I rediscovered my greatest passion: love for my homeland and the nature that surrounds it.
-A journey around the World-
For years, I’ve explored the world. I worked as a sommelier in Spain and Sweden, backpacked through Latin America 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.
-Coming back to my Roots-
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.
-Walking as a Way of Life-
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 Slow Foot Philosophy-
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.
"Let us go into the woods to live wisely."
– Henry D. Thoreau
