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.

Try the local fish cuisine and pesto pasta in Corniglia / Full day tour
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.
