Hello ! Buongiorno ! I was always attracted by the Beauty of the city, especially the Renaissance time and that was one of the main reason to decide and to realize a dream, to study Art conservation in Florence - in one of the most beautiful cities in the world ! Thanks to my profession as an Conservator of Paintings I had the chance to get in touch and come closer to the most beautiful artworks made during the Renaissance Time. I became a licensed tour guide of Florence in 2007 and have been showing the amazing sights to visitors from all over the world with humor and enthusiasm. Whether it is your first visit, or its your second or third time in Florence, whether you're interested in the major sights, or exploring specific neighborhoods, I will be happy to create a customized route that will be enjoyable and rewarding. The proposed guided tours are only examples of possible walking tours. For customized itineraries I invite you to contact me to design your own special guided private tour. Registered licensed tour guide since 2007 Diploma in art restoration of paintings and sculptures - 1995 I am not a driver but I can arrange for a private car with a driver. The drivers with whom I collaborate are safe, reliable and puntual and speak fluent english.

Overview of your Florence tour

If you love paintings like me and you want to spend some time surrounded by unforgettable artworks, my private guided tour at the Uffizi museum won't disappoint you. It is no coincidence that I am a passionate Art Conservator of paintings and I also had the chance through my work to get in touch and come closer to Masterpieces displayed in the Uffizi Gallery. The tour will give me the opportunity to show you details you were never -ever!- expecting to see. We will focus on the greatest Florentine Renaissance paintings made by artists such as Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and many others. Come with me on a fascinating journey through famous Renaissance Masterpieces and the life of their artists!

Wonderful guide, engaging and interesting. Gave us a lot of history and made it fun. Clearly deeply knowledgeable about the art and any question you might ask! We hit all the big artworks and the additional background we got from her made them even more fascinating. Top guide, highly recommended, whole process was smooth and well managed.

Christiane was such an expert art guide who made the Uffizi's masterpieces come alive for our family of three, including a teenage son. My husband and I have been to the Uffizi before and her explanations and guidance made a tremendous difference in our experience. We have worked with many Tours by Locals tour guides and other companies all over the world. She is one of the best art guides we have ever had. She connected the artists to their patron sponsors to Italy's overall history. I strongly recommend this half-day tour that will hit all the major gems of the massive art museum. The masterpieces are scattered all over the museum so with her deft maneuvering, we had an efficient three plus hours. We also had family members recovering from leg injuries so she was able to accommodate their needs as well.

Christiane was friendly and highly knowledgeable about the gallery, the paintings within it, and added some very unique information from the art restoration world. She was able to guide us quickly through the museum to see some of the most famous and important works, and knew exactly where there would be lines or crowded areas so we could navigate to alternate entrances/viewing points. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get an informative and encompassing walkthrough of Uffizi.

What a treat to visit the Uffizi with Christiane. While my husband and I had both been fortunate enough to visit this museum before, we leaned so much and had a wonderful time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book a tour with her again.

Extremely interesting, with the recurring theme that today's masterpieces were often not recognized as such in their own time. A wonderfully cautionary tale about sneering at our own contemporary avante guarde art that, perhaps, will also stand the test of time. And we loved her insight about how many restorations have actually distorted the original piece. Bravo Christiane!

Christiane is excellent! She is so knowledgeable about art and history. She made every piece of artwork we viewed come alive. Terrific guide! I highly recommend her!
