Ciao! I’m Valentina, a licensed local tour guide from Tuscany. I’ve been guiding travelers since 2007, sharing the beauty, history, and everyday life of my home region with visitors from all over the world. From the historic streets of Florence to the charm of Livorno and the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, I love bringing these cities to life through stories, local insights, and a relaxed walking pace. I’m passionate about travel, food, wine, and animals (especially dogs!), and I believe that the best way to explore a place is by engaging all your senses - tasting authentic Tuscan cuisine, discovering hidden corners, and learning the stories that only locals know. My tours are private, easygoing, and fully personalized, designed to match your interests and travel style. Come walk with me and experience Tuscany like a local - one step at a time. See you soon! Valentina

Overview of your Florence tour

With this tour we'll take a walk through the historical center of the city where we'll touch all the must-see places and we'll visit the Galleria dell'Accademia, famous for Michelangelo's David. I'm not one of those boring guides only sharing dates and names, I love talking about the history and also adding local info and fun anecdotes!

Valentina was an amazing guide - you cannot ask for anyone other than her if you are in Florence. She is very passionate, knowledgeable and practical on how to approach the best sights of Florence. She was accommodating and flexible and knew how to organize the tour to avoid the crowds. Next time I would book her for more dates. Grazie, Valentina!

Valentina was amazing! Best tour we've had so far in our trip and the 2hours and a half went by sooo quick I couldn't believe when it was done. She is so passionate and you can tell she not only loves art, but her job. Will definitely hire her again if we go back to FLorence. Thank you so much Valentina!!

Valentina was a wonderful guide: she was prompt, extremely knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and accommodated our large family with an infant. We can not think of a better way to see Florence!

-We'll see my boyfriend at the Accademia, Michelangelo's David. - We'll walk by the religious center. - We'll stop and see from the outside the Baptistry, the Duomo and Giotto's Bell-tower. - We'll then reach Piazza della Signoria, an open air museum. Here we'll be stopping by the copy of Michelangelo's David. - We'll walk by the statues of Perseus, Neptune and Hercules. - We'll see the Uffizi from the outside, we'll be walking through its courtyard and stop by some of the statues gathered there like, Galileo, Michelangelo, Dante, Leonardo da Vinci. - We'll be walking towards Pontevecchio, the oldest bridge of Florence.
