Ciao! My name is Giacomo and I was born and raised in a small medieval village on the rolling hills west of Florence, where I still live. I have been working in the tourism industry since 2003, starting originally as a tour leader across Tuscany. I specialized as a local guide for Florence in 2008, and since then I have been engaging mainly as a freelance tour guide in the Florence area. As a Tuscan of many generations, I am in love with my homeland - which is a very special part of Italy for its artistic, historical and cultural value - and I greatly enjoy when I can facilitate the experience of discovering and absorbing the extraordinary beauty of which Florence and Tuscany are so rich. It will be a pleasure for me to welcome you to my region, and accompany you throughout your journey in Florence. Your tours can be diversified and customized based on your interests and preferences. Just tell me what you like, and we will tailor it together - whether you are traveling by yourself or in couple, with your family and kids, or as a small group of friends or relatives. I am looking forward to meeting you! Licensed Guide of Florence since 2008 Certified Tour Leader since 2003 University Degree in Foreign Modern Literatures and Languages (French, Spanish and English), 1995 Member of AGT (Official Tour Guides Association of Florence) If my calendar seems full, don’t hesitate to contact me anyway. I may still be able to accommodate you. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Please note that I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel or port only through the driver. I will meet you directly at the designated meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

We will explore the vibrant downtown area at your pace - including the religious heart and the political center - adjusting our itinerary to your needs and preferences. In case you are not sure about what they exactly are, I will fully lead the experience, while keeping it interesting, juicy, entertaining. . .
