Ciao! Hello! Hola! Benvenuti in Italia! Hello, Welcome in Italy, Bienvenidos en Italia!
My name is Francesca and I am a qualified tourist guide. Photography lover, food lover, sea lover…well do you know that there is a relationship between Florence and the sea ? The city where I was born and I still live live, Livorno, is a nice sea town created by the Medici family.
As I had been lucky to live an exchange student experience in Australia, I can understand the sense of wonder a tourist could have in a place like Tuscany and its cities. Visiting places like Florence, Lucca, Livorno. . it is not only art, history, museums but it is our daily life, curious things as a local could see and live. Or imaging how locals like the Medici, Michelangelo or Leonardo. . . could have lived in their times.
I can tailor the tour on the visitors'needs. I always update myself with courses expecially based on two of my greatest passions: photography and food. And all this work enables me to enjoy my work, wandering in these streets and talking about the importance of tasting a good gelato or taking family pictures of the clients with the most important or curious highlights of the city and to have good memories of the visit.
Some fun facts about me:
- favourite painting at Uffizi: just to name one "La Lippina" painted by Fra Filippo Lippi
- favourite dish: not only one of course ;-) But if you are in Tuscany "Pici all'Aglione"
- favourite street food: schiacciata with prosciutto
- favourite wine: in Tuscany Bogheri DOC, out of Tuscany Ribolla Gialla
And now. . . vamos, let's go . . . andiamo!
Please
- before booking any tour contact me to ask for my availability: I always update the calendar but better be sure.
- contact me only for the publicised tours in Livorno, Lucca and Florence, do not contact me for other destinations
- do not contact me for shore excursion. As I am not a licensed driver and due to the Italian law about tourist guides, I cannot deliver these kind of tours.
Thank you.
