Buongiorno! I'm Karine, your private licensed guide for Lucca, Pisa and Florence provinces. I live in Italy but I was born in the south-west of France in 1970. I'm a professional working in tourism and have been organising and escorting individual customers and groups for 30 years! I have a limitless passion for Italy and one of my dreams came true when I settled in Tuscany in 1991, after obtaining my national guide's licence in France. I work as a tour leader in Tuscany and Italy since 1993, I am a licensed guide in Florence, Pisa, Lucca and their respective provinces. I'm a member of the National Association of Touristic Guides (ANGT) and the European Guide Federation (FEG). During these thirty years, I've met all kinds of obstacles in organising trips and, above all, a sea of emotions with customers who've always been ready to share experiences and knowledge. On the other hand, I've learned that customers aren't all the same, to be offered the same tours as everyone else. I like to understand what people like so I can offer them the programme they really want. Working in travel agencies has allowed me to understand the work from the organiser's point of view and my experience behind a desk, together with years and years of contact with customers, has given me the professionalism that only the most varied and numerous experiences can give. Authorized and licensed guide in the provinces of Lucca, Pisa and Florence.

Overview of your Florence tour

This tour is absolutely unmissable to see finally the art works you always saw in the books. Standing in front of the Leonardo Annunciation or the birth of Venus is a full experience of emotion, even for me! I will have purchased in advanced the tickets in order to prevent you a long line to enter inside. And then we will jump from a century to another by looking at the masterpieces of Florentine and Italian artists; we will begin with the end of the 13th century and with Giotto, to finish with the end of the 16th century with Caravaggio. It is not boring because I chose for you the most important canvas and I explain through them the story of Florence!

Karine's passion and genuine love of art and history is contagious. She was an absolute dream of a guide: experienced, seasoned, confident and in command of her knowledge base. Furthermore, she was patient and considerate of my older companion, who tired easily. I have utilized many private tours and have met many lovely people this way, & Karine is the type of person I will seek out again and again! What a lovely human being and what a memorable tour we had in the jewel that is Florence, Italy.

We had an informative and professional tour experience with Karine, it was being with a friend who knows and showed not only the museums we booked, but the hidden bistros and markets while showing us other points of interest. She took the time to show us the restaurant we have reservations at and the way back to our hotel. We loved her and our tour.

Karine had to deal with three tired travelers. We had just arrived from Venice and had walked many miles the previous day. She tailored the tour to our needs. She is knowledgeable, caring and very informative. We were also, besides seeing the Uffizi, able to do a walking tour of some of the city for an excellent overview. She did a a very good job. We had to tell her we were not art students and so details were not our thing. She knows it all however if that's your thing.
