Hi there! Nice to meet you

Michael

I'm Michael and I'm here to be your inside man. I'm an Irishman living now in sunny Brindisi after I met a lovely lass and now I'm sort of trapped...I mean happily engaged.

I'm a social creature and as such I've found the places you want to see. Say goodbye to dry and uninspired tours that just go through the motions and say hello to the real authentic experience that fire you into the social stratosphere. When in Brindisi do, go, eat and drink as the Brindisians (I'm not sure if that's a real word) do, go, eat and drink.

If you're looking for a dynamic storyteller who is always engaging, look no further. If you're looking for culture, I'm your fella. If your looking to get the real local experience I am your inside man!! I'll show you all sites and great places the city has to offer both on and off the beaten track. All will be executed in a fun, interesting and engaging way, who knows, we might even squeeze in a pizza with pineapple or two just to watch the locals turn red with anger and explode. It's really beautiful to see this at sunset. It can actually be rather romantic if you think of it like gory fireworks.

Join me as I steer you away from the tourist traps and give you one hell of a bang for you buck...in a money for value sort of way, not a cheap tightwad eating out of plastic plates sort of way. You'll laugh (mostly at me), drink (more than likely with me), do, go and of course eat amongst the locals of this fine city. Insider tips galore (this is an Irish word) from your Irish inside man. Can't wait to see you.

We booked this tour for our day in Brindisi based on the description of the tour which made mention that we would be trying local food and drink at "at least" three stops. The tour does mention history and we did get that but we did NOT get tastings at three locations. At the end of the tour, our guide Michael took us to a local spot. Here we had coffee and a few different finger.foods. There where bbq chips, peanuts and crackers also available. I would not recommend this tour as we did not get what we paid for sadly. This Is Not A Food Tour

We had a great time touring Brindisi with Michael. Tons of interesting "local color" comments, as well as fascinating historical tidbits as well. The view of an Irish ex pat in Southern Italy was refreshing.Fun, irreverent 2 hours in Brindisi

We enjoyed our quick intro to Brindisi on a private tour with Michael. Since he’s only lived there for a few years he brought a European and local perspective on the history and architecture. Not only did Michael provide good info, he asked a lot of really good questions to learn about us as well.Great perspective from a new local

Be prepared for a wonderful day with Michael! Our tour with Michael was a highlight of our 10-day cruise around Italy. He shared insightful details on commercial, political, religious, cultural and culinary history as we meandered through the streets of Brindisi on a very hot day in early July. We were a group of four and we had limited time to explore, but Michael was most accommodating, helping us squeeze as much in as we could while in town. Having moved to Italy after growing up in Ireland, Michael has a unique perspective about the ways of life in Brindisi, which made our trip all the more personable and enjoyable. Michael's knowledge of the area coupled with his quick wit made us all fast friends. We wanted to do the 10 Tastings of Brindisi , but time sadly would not allow. Instead, we enjoyed sharing a delightful lunch and a refreshing Aperol Spritz at the end of the tour - a lovely way to end a most memorable day! Michael will be our first contact if we find ourselves in the area again, and based on Michael's presentation, that may be sooner than later! Book with Michael and you won't be disappointed!No better way to see Brindisi!
