I was just six years old when my parents brought me to Florence. . . and it was love at first sight! This has continued to be the case whilst studying, working and travelling around the world. Wherever I have been, the attraction of Florence and Tyuscany has drawn me back, time after time like a magnet whose force I am powerless to resist. Each visit unfolded more of its treasures to explore and discover, from the obvious beauty and architecture of the city, its many wonderful diversity of churches, museums and to learn more of its rich and fascinating history, not to mention the delicious food and wine and specialities of Tuscany! Finally I surrendered and came to live here some twenty years ago. Now that I am an "adopted Florentine", my life and work has become sharing its riches and guiding the curious and discerning visitor to discover and share the secrets and wonders it continually reveals. My enthusiasm is boundless and I feel truly privileged to call this magnificent city MY HOME. So, if you are looking for a deep and meaningful experience I would be delighted to guide you and share it with you. Whatever your particular interest may be, I promise to uncover it for you here in magical Florence. I invite you to join me and allow you to judge for yourself! *Registered tourist guide in Florence (Italy) *Individual tour expert on Florence and Tuscany *Art and History tours *Food and wine tours *Children friendly tours *Wineries and countryside tours *Hiking Guide and Bike tours *Classic car tour No restrictions

Highlights of Florence & Renaissance period, private walking tour
Overview of your Florence tour
This private walking tour offers you the chance to discover Florence most important monuments enjoying an easy walk throughout the city center. I can come to pick you up at your hotel, or apartment to start a tour that by walking will give you the opportunity to sea and learn a lot about Florence art, history and today's city. There will be the chance to stop any time for a cup of espresso, a drink, or a gelato exactly as Italians do. I will take the chance to tell you also about the lives of famous artists and about legends that make Florence so charming. All will be at the pace that better suites you. The walk will give me the time to show you highlights as well as hidden gems among ancient buildings, charming streets and squares and some of the shops that make Florence one of the most glamorous destinations. At the end of the tour I can suggest you for lunch or dinner a restaurant, if you wish to seat and rest, or the best finger food, according to your desires.

Michele Colloca was fabulous. My husband and I were on a tour with him in September. He was personable and very knowledgable. We enjoyed his stories and his tour plan was well-thought out. Our college daughter went in January and we again booked Michele to give her a tour. He again was the perfect local guide, and he changed the tour slightly to accommodate her timing and interests. HIGHLY recommend Michele.

Michele made the city come alive. Opened our eyes to the beautiful culture and beauty of Florence. Saw places seldom seen and appreciated his wisdom and humor. Look �� forward to discovering more of Florence with him again.

Michele was awesome. Very knowledgeable, excellent communication. We did both the walking tour and the museums the same day. Best if you split into two days if you are older. 5 hours is a lot.
