Benvenuti in Italia ! I am Angelica, born and educated in Tuscany, I had the good fortune to move around different family proprieties throughout my childhood during summer holidays - from Chianti hills, Pisa, Pistoia and the Tuscan coast. These experiences along with my passion and knowledge of Italy, led me to choose this profession. I hold professional certifications as an Environmental Guide and a Wine Sommelier. I am very passionate about history, great food, and the outdoors. I provide great care in customizing tours and love to share and transmit my passion for Italy with people coming from other countries, creating lifelong memories. What to expect ? If your dream is to live an authentic Italian experiance, the best way is to have a local native guide coming from an historical family from central Italy…like me !! I will plan and customize your tour itinerary arranging trains, boats, and minivans if necessary even round trips from Florence ! Depending your necessities and time permitting, we will walk on best panoramic trails that suit your desires. On request, we can have a local wine testing / a culinary experience with great chefs / gourmet seafood meals in restaurants with seaveiws / of course the best Italian gelato. To live an authentic Italian experience, what is better than being guided by a local native, passionate and knowledgeable about my homeland? Ciao From Italy! I have been leading hiking tours since 1998 !! ….But, before then I was educated in Florence, Tuscany. After my Art School I obtained a diploma in Fine Art Conservation and Restoration from U.I.A. the International University of Art, Florence. In this field I worked for many years, from restoring the frescos in the Hermes Store in Florence to old books, prints and drawings date back 15th 16th century. I have a License as Environmental Guide and Wine Sommelier Certification. I am not a driver/NCC. But I can arrange a private professional licensed driver/NCC for tours where necessary.

Overview of your Florence tour

This trip is the best way to get to know the Cinque Terre Park in one day only, in a different prospective: by train, boat and on feet. You will get to know the villages: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore with their local cuisine, the pasta topped with the freshest pesto sauce or fish of the day. Experience the trails, through century old olive groves and vineyards, connected before the railway was created. Embarking on a moderate minimum 2-hour hike from Vernazza to Corniglia, tracing one of the most spectacular trails in the area. This seaside walk offers stunning views of the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Lunch is enjoyed at a local restaurant in Corniglia ( located on a promontory is the only village without sea access. Unlike the other villages within the Park with seafaring pasts, quaint Corniglia has a history linked to agriculture), or in Manarola in a local trattoria with sea view. After lunch, time permitting; we continue our visit southward by boat or train.

There are so many facets to Cinque Terre. From traveling there to navigating the areas to choosing how to spend your time and picking the best sights to see and food to eat… how can you be certain you will find what fits you best and accounts for the unexpected? Easy, hire Angelica! Angelica’s experience, passion for the area, and continuous learning allow her to craft the perfect experience for you with the agility and flexibility to weather any storm. Imagine you spend your day there caught in a tremendous downpour (like we did). The unexpected can always happen even with the best laid plans. But since our plan was to trust Angelica, she easily pivoted to ensure our family (including 2 teens) took advantage and had a truly wonderful and memorable experience. And because of Angelica’s local connections, we felt like we were getting the VIP treatment. Who doesn’t like that?!

Dear Angelica, Our group of 12 can never thank you enough for our guided hiking tour of Cinque Terre. Your knowledge, encouragement, and enthusiasm were what made it so very, very special. I truly believe we all felt a huge sense of accomplishment when we finished. You are the BEST, and I will gladly recommend you to anyone who asks.

Extremely impressed with knowledge of the guide. We did the path between Venezia and Corniglia which was more challenging than anticipated. We had an excellent lunch in Corniglia suggested by our guide. Overall it was an excellent experience.

Angleica was on time, well prepared, and communicated very well leading up to our tour. She is very experienced and knows the area very well. She showed us little things we would never have noticed without her help. And she even took us to a restaurant where the owners treated us like royalty. We highly recommend a day tour with Angelica if given the chance. --Brad and Barbara Johnson

Angelica was an awesome guide through the Cinque parks. We could not have done this day trip from Florence without her. She navigated us through multiple train transfers, long lines, crowded towns, and eventually to beautiful hiking. This trip was not for the faint of heart and Angelica took it all in stride -- she made accommodations for us to meet family along the way and found us a great stop for lunch. Thanks Angelica! Next time we will take one of your relaxing wine tours!!

What a magical day! Angelica was a fabulous guide for three of us. She made our excursion a memorable experience and had everything timed to the minute. Getting us train tickets in advance on a very confusing system was extremely helpful, no stress day. She even ordered blue skies and sunshine for us :) If you want to understand the Cinque Terre area and see what each city has to offer then you must tour with Angelica. We got to see four of the five cities in just a day. We'd book her again, no question!
