Ciao and welcome to Florence! I'm Eleonora, a licensed local guide born and raised in Florence, and I'd be delighted to help you discover my hometown. I love sharing Florence with visitors, not only through its famous monuments and masterpieces, but also through the stories, traditions and everyday details that make this city so special. Whether it's your first time in Florence and you'd like to explore its main highlights, you're interested in Michelangelo and the Renaissance, or you'd prefer to discover local neighbourhoods, food and traditions, I'll be happy to plan a tour around your interests and expectations. My tours are private and flexible, with a relaxed pace and plenty of time for questions and conversation. I'm not just here to show you Florence. I'm here to make you experience it.

Our private walking tour with Eleonora was the perfect introduction to Florence! She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and full of great local recommendations that helped shape the rest of our trip. We learned so much about the city's history, culture, and hidden gems while exploring its beautiful streets. Eleonora made the experience both informative and enjoyable, and we found ourselves wishing we had booked more tours with her. If you're visiting Florence, we highly recommend this tour — it was a highlight of our trip!

Eleonora was amazing! She helped us pick a perfect meet-up spot and had the tour very well-planned so that we could see everything we wanted to. She was also very kind and her local knowledge was very helpful. Next time we're in Florence we'll definitely be booking another tour with her!

My wife and I had such a great experience with Eleonara on two separate tours. A most enriching tour of the Uffizi, as well as a very interesting walk through some of the less explored parts of the city. We were offered shopping and food tips and took her suggestions on both and were rewarded with great food both nights

Eleonora worked to accommodate our multi-generational group with patience and good humor. She gave us a wonderful recommendation for lunch and shared the hidden gems of Florence with us.

When we decided to visit Florence, we wanted someone who could not only SHOW us the highlights of the old town but EXPLAIN the backstories to what we were being shown. Eleonora completely exceeded those expectations. She is a lady who incredibly proud of her city and has a passion to share it. She has the unique ability to explain things in a way that makes you want to hear more. We felt so comfortable with her during our tour. You will not be disappointed with Eleonora -- she is fabulous!

I was unable to take this tour but my four adult family members raved about what an excellent tour this was! They said Eleonora was the best guide they had ever had. She really made the history come alive. We highly recommend her as a guide!
