I was born and raised in Florence, a city resonating with Renaissance beauty and history, which has profoundly shaped my passion for storytelling and exploration. Having a degree in Economics from the University of Florence, I offer a unique perspective, blending academic insights with a deep personal connection to my hometown. Since becoming a Licensed Tour Guide in 2016, I have crafted immersive experiences that go beyond the iconic landmarks like the Duomo and Uffizi, delving into hidden gems and untold stories that reveal Florence’s intimate charm and cultural depth. My tours explore the intricate layers of Florence's history, showing how its past as a trade and financial hub shaped the Renaissance. Influential families like the Medici played a pivotal role in intertwining art, politics, and society, themes I highlight to connect historical grandeur with the city’s enduring village-like warmth. I also infuse my tours with personal anecdotes, introducing visitors to my favourite trattorias and local artisans who preserve Florence’s rich traditions. Food and wine are integral to my tours, offering a gateway to Florentine culture. From savouring chianti in historic wine cellars to tasting authentic dishes in family-run osterias, I emphasize the stories behind recipes and their evolution. My tours are interactive, encouraging questions and fostering connections between visitors and Florence’s soul. Ultimately, my goal is to share Florence as I see it—a vibrant, evolving city rooted in its extraordinary heritage. If my calendar appears unavailable, please contact me anyway. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel or port via the driver. I’ll meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

Overview of your Florence tour
Discover the essence of Florence on this guided tour, where we'll uncover the profound impact the Medici family had on its development. As we explore the city, I'll share fascinating insights into this family who was pivotal in shaping Florence’s artistic and cultural landscape. We'll also do a deep dive into the world of Renaissance art by visiting the famous Uffizi Gallery, home to masterpieces by renowned artists like Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. Besides this, we'll explore the Medieval district as well as the Duomo area. Moreover, we'll cover Florence’s historic centre too, where you’ll encounter iconic landmarks such as the Florence Cathedral, with its famous dome designed by Brunelleschi, and the Ponte Vecchio, a historic bridge lined with jewellery shops. We’ll also visit the Piazza della Signoria, a lively square filled with sculptures and astounding architecture. Since this is a walking tour, I would advise you to wear comfy shoes and bring a water bottle!
