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

WOW! What a wonderful person to experience Florence with. He is very knowledgeable of the city and very knowledgeable of the area and of the galleries. Our walk through the city was amazing. And very relaxed. He lives in the city and was able to show us and tell us about the city from his "local" point of view at the level that we wanted to hear. Beyond the amazing experience, he is a wonderful man. He always has a smile and many people in the city said good morning to him and spoke very highly of him. I highly recommend him for any tour of the city. He is friendly, open, easy to talk with and work with. ... well worth any price!

Michele was outstanding. Very personable and very knowledgeable. We had three boys (14, 13, and 11) and Michele was able to connect with them and give us a great day for parents and kids alike. I highly recommend him for groups of all ages.

Michael was a wonderful tour guide. He met us at the train station and also helped us to book a wonderful Florentine Steak dinner for our party of 8. The skip the line tour of to see David was wonderful passing the long lines of people waiting to get in! I promise you will be very happy to have him as your tour guide.

We thought Michele was very informative concerning the history of the various buildings, including the architecture of Florence. He also took us for a guided tour of both the Uffizi and Galleria dell’Accademia and pointed out the top paintings and sculptures at each museum. Michele spent a lot of time at the Accademia with the sculpture of David explaining in detail the sculpture and details in the paintings and other symbolisms we would have never understood without his explanation. He never rushed us and was able to accommodate our group’s diverse athletic abilities. He also recommended an outstanding lunch place and gelato shop. We highly recommend booking a tour with Michele.
