Ciao! I’m Valentina, a licensed local tour guide from Tuscany. I’ve been guiding travelers since 2007, sharing the beauty, history, and everyday life of my home region with visitors from all over the world. From the historic streets of Florence to the charm of Livorno and the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, I love bringing these cities to life through stories, local insights, and a relaxed walking pace. I’m passionate about travel, food, wine, and animals (especially dogs!), and I believe that the best way to explore a place is by engaging all your senses - tasting authentic Tuscan cuisine, discovering hidden corners, and learning the stories that only locals know. My tours are private, easygoing, and fully personalized, designed to match your interests and travel style. Come walk with me and experience Tuscany like a local - one step at a time. See you soon! Valentina

Overview of your Florence tour

The best in a 4 hours tour! A half day tour concentrating on the must-see things. A fascinating walk through the historical center of the city where we'll touch all the must-see places, combined with the two most visited museums of Florence: Uffizi and Accademia. I'm not one of those boring guides only sharing dates and names, I love talking about the history and also adding local info and fun anecdotes!

Valentino was a terrific guide! Easy to contact and communicate with. Gave us all the information we needed to prepare for our tour ( where to get tickets etc.). She is extremely knowable about the art we enjoyed both at the Accademia and the Uffuzi. Her enthusiasm was contagious. We never felt rushed and she was considerate of my special walking needs. My daughter and I enjoyed the tour so much! Thanks, I would highly recommend Valentino and this tour.

Valentina was a fantastic tour guide, and I can’t recommend her enough. She made sure we saw the most important paintings and art at the museum, something that we could not have done without her. Additionally, we had a nine-year-old with us, and that certainly could be challenging when you are looking at art. She was incredibly engaging with our son and made it fantastic for our entire family.

PERFECTO! Valentina was knowledgable, flexible and personable. She showed us the highlights of Florence, The Academmia, and the Uffizi. While I am a big fan of art museums, my husband is not. Valentina kept him engaged and impressed. She gave us a lot of background and insights and it was obvious that she loves her work and sharing her love of art and of Florence. She also gave us some great advice on other things to see on our own. Time with her was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

Valentina is a joy! Her energy and enthusiasm for the arts is infectious. Valentina took us by the hand and guided us through the crowds at the Accademia and Uffizi. The stories she shared behind the works and her descriptions of the art heightened the experience. Thank you Valentina!

Valentina was fantastic…so knowledgeable, accommodating, and personable!! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her and tried to soak up all of the interesting and fascinating information she was providing. She also provided just the right amount of time in museums without drawing it out too long in any spot. Highly recommend booking with Valentina for a wonderful day!
