Laura was a great guide. She was able to keep 4 kids who were hot and crabby entertained and interested in history. She was a great guide and offered lots of local advice as well.

Hi… buongiorno, my name is Laura! That's how we will start our tour! I am a licensed tour guide in Florence and its province. I was born, raised, married, graduated in Art History and Humanities in Florence and researched as an art historian: here is where I belong! A first-time traveler to Florence? We could start with a walking tour through the ancient squares and streets and/or visit the main museums, like the Uffizi or the Accademia with the David by Michelangelo, and churches. Art, history, food and local traditions are all "ingredients" and part of your experience with me during my tours. If you have already touched base with the Florentine lifestyle, there are many other options and experiences to make, just let me know! The more about your preferences you will tell me about before getting to Florence, the more customized will be your tour with me! I deeply enjoy my work: it's my passion! I love to introduce people to the beauty and culture of Florence, a city on the bucket list of many travelers. Travelling is the one most satisfying experience in life and memories of your trips will last. I'd love to make the most of your time in Florence a memorable and amazing experience! Thanks and looking forward to meeting you soon! Laura - Licensed Tour Guide for Florence and its province - Licensed Tour Leader - MA in Art History - MA in Humanities I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

My 85 year old mother and I had a personal tour with Laura. We enjoyed her knowledge of Florence/Italy and art/the David. We needed some special assistance as my mom uses a walker or cane. Laura helped us purchase additional items needed and she adjusted to our speed. She was fun, passionate about her country/hometown and thoughtful. We highly recommend Laura for any tour in Florence!!

Laura was an amazing guide for our family of six with four teenagers. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and willing to modify our schedule to maximize the experience for the entire group. She also helped coordinate meals, shopping, and a transfer. We couldn't recommend her more. Thanks for two perfect days.

I will recommend Laura to my finds who are coming to Florence! She knows the city inside and out, she proudly shares it, and she adapted the tour to match our pace and needs. We were lucky we met her.
Amy K.United States
Laura was outstanding with communicating before our arrival. We really enjoyed her enthusiasm about Florence, and her ability to read what interested our group, and take a few detours, and spend more time explaining some things over others based on our interests. We also appreciated her feedback on things to do, and places to visit. Would highly recommend her!
Janet F.United States
Laura was absolutely a gem of knowledge in Florence, she knows both the history of the city and of the artwork. She accommodated our party of 6 needs and we throughly enjoyed her knowledge and humor. Definitely a fantastic tour guide! Highly recommend Laura!
