Ciao! I’m Valentina, a licensed local tour guide from Tuscany. I’ve been guiding travelers since 2007, sharing the beauty, history, and everyday life of my home region with visitors from all over the world. From the historic streets of Florence to the charm of Livorno and the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, I love bringing these cities to life through stories, local insights, and a relaxed walking pace. I’m passionate about travel, food, wine, and animals (especially dogs!), and I believe that the best way to explore a place is by engaging all your senses - tasting authentic Tuscan cuisine, discovering hidden corners, and learning the stories that only locals know. My tours are private, easygoing, and fully personalized, designed to match your interests and travel style. Come walk with me and experience Tuscany like a local - one step at a time. See you soon! Valentina

With this particular tour we'll see a lot of art! We'll take take a walk through the historical center of Florence where we'll touch all the must-see places ending our visit in one of the most visited museum in Florence: the Uffizi. One of the most important painting collections in the world, gathered in a chronological order, which allows one to understand the evolution of Italian painting thanks to works by Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. Are you ready? I'm not one of those boring guides only sharing dates and names, I love talking about the history and also adding local info and fun anecdotes behind the artworks!
Valentina led the perfect tour of the Uffizi for our family, including our two teenage daughters. She was friendly and engaging and shared just the right amount of detail to convey what made the Renaissance so important during our short tour. We weren’t sure whether a tour was necessary but were so glad that we arranged for one with Valentina. The museum can be overwhelming and with her help we were able to see the highlights in a relatively short period of time.
i loved my tour with Valentina in Florence. I really appreciated her attention to detail. She was very pleasant, good company and went out of her way to add in anecdotes that brought the past to life. She tailored it around aspects I had requested and it was the highlight of my stay in Florence.
Valentina moved heaven and earth to get us into the Uffizi after entrys were delayed by an ambulance and a long line developed. And she was warm, friendly, personal, knowledgeable, fluent in thought and speech. Highly recommended.
Valentina is very knowledgeable and made our tour rich and interesting. The Uffizi is so large and busy it was fantastic to have her help to see and learn more about the key exhibits in the context of the Medici endowment. Just as important was her enthusiasm and personal effort to ensure we got additional information about the city to make the most out of the rest of out time here. Thanks Valentina.
We thought we had been to Florence and the Uficci before but after 3 hours with Valentina visiting the Bargello and Uficci it was as if we had never the full experience. She communicated well beforehand and was prompt with our meeting time. Her English is excellent. Her passion and knowledge for the city and the art are beyond compare. We cannot wait until we can return to the area to spend more time with Valentina.
Valentina was a fantastic guide for me and my family in Florence. My 21 and 20 years-old boys learned a lot from her. She is friendly, easy-going and enthusiastic, and knows everything - there is no question she could not answer. She took us around the old city and to Uffizi, bringing us to the main works and providing fascinations explanations. I highly recommend her.
-We'll enter the Uffizi museum and stop by its best artworks including Giotto, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael. - We'll walk by the religious center. - We'll stop and see from the outside the Baptistry, the Duomo and Giotto's Bell-tower. - We'll then reach Piazza della Signoria, an open air museum. Here we'll be stopping by the copy of Michelangelo's David. - We'll walk by the statues of Perseus, Neptune and Hercules. - We'll be walking towards Pontevecchio, the oldest bridge of Florence. UFFIZI is closed on Mondays but you can contact me for other ideas! In case of strikes or unexpected museum closings, I cannot guarantee entry to the museums. I would like to remind you to be properly dressed when visiting churches. In particular, remember to cover your shoulders and to avoid wearing shorts.
