Hi there and welcome to my profile. My name is Caterina, and I'm a licensed guide of Florence, the most beautiful city in the world. It would by my pleasure to reveal it to you. More than fifteen years ago I graduated from the faculty of history of Moscow State University, where the art of Renaissance has become my passion and love. After a great journalist experience, years of editing and writing about fashion, I have decided to get back to my roots, to the history and art. My love story with the city of Florence has brought me here, to the homeland of such genius as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli and others, where I decided to settle down. It's been over ten years since I have moved myself here, the city of endless civilization, culture and art of Renaissance. Florence is full of fine arts, amazing architecture, painting and literature, which deserve to be recognized by the visitors of the city. Once I moved, I've decided to go ahead with history — so I continued my studies to get the profession of tourist guide. It took me a few years, and it was hard to obtain the degree, but it's worth it. The license permits me to work in English as well as in Russian and Italian. I accept private groups up to 6-7 persons. I can offer you you individual route through the city and it's museums at a suitable time for you. Private excursions are not limited by a usual monotonous program, it considers easy communication with a guide, it gives an opportunity to ask questions and dive into curious details that you won't get on the group excursions. All tours of mine are flexible. I'll be happy to guide you through the most beautiful city in the world where the phenomenon of the Renaissance was born. - Licensed tour guide of Florence and its Province (English, Russian, Italian). - Moscow State University Degree in History and Ethnology. - Journalist I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    First and foremost, it was a bit of a hidden gem, the website didn’t show this private tour at first (so webmasters, change de that please). But it was a wonderful tour. We took the tour with Katarina last Easter and decided to visit the churches of Basilica di Santo Spirito and San Lorenzo, and everything in between off course. Katarina gave us a very interesting tour...

    Dear Erik, it was a pleasure to guide you through Florence. Rossini's tomb is in Santa Croce, not at San Lorenzo.

    Katerina shared her exceptional knowledge regarding the cultural, political and architectural history of the city and was approachable, answering questions about further areas for our family to explore. She kindly provided a snack/toilet break for our children. Unfortunately it was challenging for us to hear some of the information at times due to background noise, but we...
