Hello everyone and thank you for visiting my profile on ToursbyLocals! My name is Simonida. I'm living in Florence for 20 years. I have degrees at the Conservatory of music and Art history. I'm a professional opera singer, teacher of music and became a fully licensed tourist guide 7 years ago. I want to share with people the beauty of Tuscany and Florence. Florence is rich with culture events like famous festival Maggio musicale fiorentino, Florentine summer festival, concerts in the city museums and other events. Tuscany is the birth land of Giacomo Puccini. In his beloved small village "Torre del Lago" each summer is Puccini's opera festival where you can enjoy the most famous titles of his operas. I would like to show you this music life of Florence and Tuscany together with beautiful museums of Academia and Uffizi gallery. If you would like to admire Florence from on high, I would be glad to show you the most interesting and beautiful city's hotel rooftop terraces. After visiting museums and historical centre, we can cool down in the light summer wind and sip a cocktail over aperitivo, or just relax in front of some of the best panoramic views over the town. I propose myself to organize the private short excursions in Chianti with vine tasting and let you discover the most breathtaking Tuscany landscape.

Overview of your Florence tour
This tour includes a walk from Santa Maria Novella, Florence's beautiful basilica that gave its name to the eponymous train station. Florence's train station is where most tourists arrive. In the very square in front of the church, 800 meters from the Cathedral, lie Florence's most precious treasures. Ghirlandaio, assisted by Michelangelo, painted in the Dominican basilica, and later left masterpieces here by Botticelli, Brunelleschi, and Masaccio. Near the great basilica are the Medici family's neighborhood, their Renaissance palace, the church of San Lorenzo, and the Medici Chapels. The route takes us to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Museum, and Ponte Vecchio, one of the city's symbols. Strolling through the streets, we encounter cafés, shops both old and new, wine bars, ice cream parlors, and many of Florence's culinary curiosities. The walking tour lasts about two and a half hours and always ends with a food stop.
