Dear Traveller, Since when I was a teenager my true passion has been travelling abroad. As a child I used to live in Paris and therefore I've absorbed with no effort French language and culture, but I'm a native Florentine. That's the reason why I like so much people who invest time and economic resources in travelling to expand their mental horizons and meeting people from other part of the world. While completing my academic background I've spent one year in London and since then I never stopped travelling as tour menager in Egypt, Libia, Tunisia, Jordan, France, Etiopia, Turkey, Greece and United States. In 1992 I won the public contests to be Licensed Guide in Florence / Siena and I fell in love with my job, because being a guide is being myself: a lifetime studying and discovering. My guests say my special gift is to be able in sharing my passion for Art, Economic History and hidden Beauties of Siena and Florence, maximising their time during their stay. Let me introduce you to Florence and Siena unique harmony and flavour: their museums, Medici's residences, churches, home made ice creams and artisanal workshops, still able in creating true masterpieces. The tours I'm listing here are just samples, the ones that I think are eligible but, Since everyone of us is different, It will be my pleasure to fully customised the tour to your pace, interest and expectations, for a true VIP service. For Uffizi and Accademia museums I can book fast track tickets without handling fees as you will be able to pay those extras directly on the spot. *On request I can hire a private driver/luxury and air-conditioned van, the easiest way to travel from Florence to Siena and to discover their hidden beauties. *For Cruise visitors I can arrange "VIP treatment" shore excursions including a luxury air conditioned car or minivan with a professional driver (with pick up and drop off at your ship). I wish you a wonderful time in Florence and Siena, Emma Graduated from Florence University with a degree in Philosophy with a Master in Art History at the Warburg Institute in London. I have been working as a professional guide in Florence and Siena since 1992. I was a guide in the Synagogue Museum of Florence in 1990-93 Master in museum education from Roma University in 2002, Art History Docent at New Etruria College Association of Florence since 2003 Lecturer on Medieval and Renaissance Art History for the Alumni College Abroad, since 2002 I've taken a second University degree in Art History specializing in Fashion in Renaissance portraits. I’ am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle, Cruise shuttle, or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Florence tour

Uffizi Gallery needs no introduction: it's a world known painting collection that easily allows to undestand the evolution of the Italian and European art from Middle Ages to Baroque. The tour will be focused on the world-famous masterpieces or - for the Art-addicted - on many other possible itineraries. Just as an example: this musem houses the biggest collection of Roman statuary outside Rome. After visiting the upper floor with the greatest names of the Early and High Renaissance, time for a little break and a cappuccino on the splendid north-facing panoramic terrace- We will complete then the tour with Bernini, Titian, Caravaggio and Rembrandt After the tour you can also remain inside the Gallery to enjoy alone the Beauty that - as Pablo Picasso said - '' takes the dust away from our souls''

Emma's early morning tour of the Uffizi was fabulous. She helped us get to the front of the line and we made it to see the Botticelli and da Vinci masterpieces before anyone else was in the room with us. Her comments were thoughtful and our small group learned so much. It was a dream to tour the Uffizi with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an intimate tour of this famed institution. Thank you, Emma, for such a memorable experience!

This tour was fantastic! Emma was very knowledgeable and easy to converse with, offering plenty of information as we went and happily answering all questions. By following her plan we managed to beat the crowds and got a wonderful opportunity with the art totally undisturbed by other visitors. When we needed a coffee break, she was easily able to accommodate. All in all, not a single complaint. A wonderful experience.

Emma was all you could want from a guide. With no fuss we were first in the Uffizi. Guiding us quickly to see many paintings by Botticelli, Lippi and Leonardo da Vinci - we were the only people there! What an experience no noise, no crush just us with Emma, an expert. Enthusiastic and passionate about her specialist subject. We learnt so much from the use of tempura; what influenced the changes in the Madonna and Child from divine icons to more natural portrayals; accuracy of roman busts and much more.
